What could be more important than spending some time to discover what is causing your current distress or difficulties and exploring how you might be able to feel differently. Often, we are confused or frightened by how we are feeling and long to be more peaceful, in control or to maybe just to like ourselves more than we do. Many things can get in the way of the happy, productive and peaceful life we would like to have. The therapy I offer will focus on what has brought you to feel the need for counselling at this moment in time and how, together, we can create the change you are hoping for.
Over thinking, difficulties in sleeping, too much scrolling on social media, not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life are signs that something is disrupted within us. My psychotherapeutic training focusses on the wider experience of the client not just the most obvious symptoms. The relationships we are in, the pressures of work, the impact of the changes we are all concerned about globally can all have a deep impact on how we feel. I can make a safe, grounded space to explore all of issues that preoccupy or burden us.
I have an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a PG Diploma in Supervision with additional training in trauma, Complex PTSD and the impact of difficult early experience both in the family and in school. I am skilled in working with the effects of anxiety and ODC and a strong understanding of the Autism and ADHD.
My working life began in the corporate world in Training and Development, and I went on to run my own demanding business. I have more recently worked in both the NHS and Social Services. This background gives me a unique insight into the culture and pressures of a variety of sectors. Alongside this I raised a large, blended family and know the challenges (and joys) of parenting and family life.
Whatever difficulty you are facing I am sure that my rigorous training and my unique life experience can help to bring insight, validation, comfort and move you towards a healthier and more rewarding life.
I offer therapy both online and from the office at my rural home between Malton and Pocklington. Clients tell me that they value being in the calm, peaceful and welcoming space that this countryside place offers. If this feels like the kind of therapeutic support that might work for you, please get in touch by email or telephone and I will really look forward to hearing from you.
Whatever you may be facing my goal is to support you in making meaningful, sustainable changes that enhance your wellbeing and quality of life.
Training and work experience
I alongside my Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Supervision (UCKP/SCPTI) and have experience supervising both individuals and groups across various professional settings, and I welcome new supervisees.
I have also worked extensively in the charitable sector, providing both short- and long-term counselling through York Women’s Counselling and KYRA Women’s Project. My work in these settings has deepened my understanding of gender-specific challenges and affirmed the importance of safety, trust and relational depth in therapeutic work.
