Since qualifying in 2015, I have had the privilege working alongside many people through difficult times and life changes.
I offer a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted. Therapy can be a place to pause, make sense of what is happening and explore what you need, without judgement or pressure. We can work together to understand what is getting in the way of a fulfilling life and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I work with children, young people and adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, life changes and questions about identity or direction. You may have a clear sense of what you want help with or know that something doesn’t feel right. You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.
My work is relational, collaborative and curious. I believe that who you are and how you experience the world matters, and that the relationship we develop in therapy is an important part of the work. I draw on Transactional Analysis and creative approaches, tailoring therapy to you rather than fitting you into a particular model. I am interested in understanding how experiences from the past have shaped you, as well as what brings you to therapy now.
I hold a BSc honours degree, a Post Graduate Diploma, a Diploma in Psychotherapy (adult specialism), Diploma in Child Psychotherapy, and a Diploma in Supervision. Sessions are 50 minutes and can be offered in person in Newcastle. I can offer online sessions to adults. Fees are £70 per session for individuals and £90 for relationships.
“Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human.
No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulnerable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it. This is what will allow his healing to begin.”
Carl Rogers.
