"The aim of psychotherapy is to help individuals work through experiences of the past in order to live more fully in the present. People tend to react to what was rather than what is, and psychotherapy aims to help with this" (Jonathan Shedler, 2006)

There is no doubt we are a product of our upbringing and over the course of our childhood we may have developed 'dysfunctional' behaviours and strategies to best navigate our world; the lesson of psychotherapy is to bring those behaviours and strategies in to our awareness, acknowledge how they might have made sense and been useful in our past and explore how we may be able to let go of them in the here & now where they are no longer helpful. It is through psychotherapy we can get to know ourselves fully and create meaningful change. We can work together to achieve that. 

I work with individuals in both a short-term & long-term capacity.

I am experienced in providing brief confidential counselling, focusing on an immediate concern, or working in a longer-term way giving individuals an opportunity to gain insight in to their emotions, behaviours & how they relate with others.  My specialist areas of interest are working with bereavement, grief & loss, including pregnancy and infant loss. 

Loss can take on many forms (for example, relationship breakdown, empty nest, identity concerns, etc.) and psychotherapy can help you process your experience. If you are struggling and have been considering getting some support to help you work through some of the challenges you are facing, then I would urge you to get in touch.

You can contact me to arrange an initial consultation; this gives you a chance to meet me, to tell me a little more about what is going on for you and we can talk about what it is you are hoping to achieve from therapy. 

You are under no obligation to book further sessions.

I offer in-person appointments from my practice in Padiham (BB12) and also deliver sessions via video call. 

I have immediate availability, you can expect to be booked in within 7 days of your enquiry.

You can expect sessions to be:

• Confidential
• 50 minutes in duration
  
• Weekly (unless otherwise arranged)

I work with adults (age 18+). 

I do not work with couples.
