About me and my therapy practice

Having difficulties with relationships or your sense of self? Confusing emotional outbursts? Inability to focus? Overwhelmed? I can help you address anxiety, depression, grief, family estrangement and many other issues.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotional, distressed or disconnected this can be exhausting and isolating.

Do you consider yourself a people pleaser? Struggling to cope at home or at work? Feeling more anxious than usual?

Life can feel intense sometimes and if you'd like to start exploring what's caused this confusion and vulnerability, get in touch for a free 20 minute online consultation.

UNDERSTANDING THE THERAPY PROCESS

I'm here to help with any challenges you face. We will work together to understand what is going on for you right now, then we will look at any patterns of behaviour or links to any past experiences. As the work continues we can focus on your long-term goals and help you move to where you want to be.

I can help with anxiety, grief, depression, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, family estrangement, emotional and physical trauma as well as a variety of other issues. I work in an Integrative way, helping you to voice your concerns and think about the way forward.

You've taken the first step by searching for a therapist; if you're ready to start making a change in your life, then I'd be happy to hear from you!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy my work as a therapist and have years of experience with a variety of clients who bring a wide range of presenting issues. My practice provides opportunities for both online and face to face sessions. I am friendly and supportive, understanding the need for a combination of kindness and challenge at different parts of your therapeutic process

Practice description

Whilst I can help with many different issues, my training, my client work and my personal experiences make me ideally placed to help with the following:

GENDER IDENTITY ISSUES

We live in a world where tolerance and understanding is not always forthcoming and members of the queer community are increasingly at risk from prejudice and ignorance.

I can provide a supportive and safe space to discuss how your gender identity or sexuality is affecting your day to day life.

FAMILY ESTRANGEMENT

It is a big decision to break contact with members of your own family and not everyone understands this. If relatives have made it difficult for you to make your own choices in life and your decisions are met with disapproval, judgment and humiliation then it is understandable that you will want to protect yourself.

It can be helpful and validating to discuss this with a therapist. Your feelings can be explored without pressure to reconnect. Being gaslit and suffering years of emotional abuse/manipulation can leave you feeling afraid and vulnerable. Therapy can re-empower you and give you confidence in your own decisions.

THERAPY RELATING TO NEURODIVERSITY

Awareness of neurodiversity is increasing and many people are now linking their thoughts and behaviours to autism, ADHD and OCD.

Processing a diagnosis or simply starting to recognise neurodiverse tendencies can be challenging. I work with the individual, meeting their needs through accommodations to sessions where necessary or I can work with family members or carers who are supporting people with neurodiversity.

CHILDLOSS, BIRTH TRAUMA, STILLBIRTH, INFERTILITY & SUDDEN DEATH

The grief of losing a child, or never being able to have one, can be overwhelming.

Each person's experience is different and I will support you while you work through your grief and repercussions of your loss.

I can support grandparents, siblings and other family members who might be struggling with their own response to this loss. 

My first session

You've taken the first step by searching for a therapist; this is a big decision and it's important to find someone you feel comfortable with. I offer a free 20-minute online consultation, allowing you to chat with me in confidence without obligation, to make sure I'm the right therapist for you.

I am usually able to respond to new enquiries within just a couple of hours. An initial consultation could be arranged within a few days and (depending on finding a time to suit us both) you could have a regular weekly therapy session starting as soon as next week.

Do please get in touch, I'd be happy to help you. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how we might work together.
