Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am currently accepting new clients. Please get in touch to see if our schedules are compatible. I offer daytime, evening and weekend sessions. 

I am a fully Íø±¬ÃÅ registered and qualified therapist with a specialism in supporting individuals who are navigating the complexities and challenges of life. My approach is straightforward, no nonsense and grounded in a strong understanding of human psychology. I am also fiercely compassionate and work in a very relational, humanistic and person centred way. I offer a considerate, non-judgemental space where we can work together to better understand your experiences and feelings, overcome challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. Having previously worked in Secondary education and being a mother of now four young adults- I have extensive experience working with adolescents and parents, with a profound understanding of the modern challenges we face - from both perspectives. I also specialise in working with Autism Spectrum Conditions and neurodiversity and I am very neuroinclusive. Other areas I work with include but are not limited to: Abuse, Addiction, Anger, Anxiety, Confidence and Self-Esteem, Depression, Gender issues, Identity issues, Intimacy, Life Stages (Matrescence and Menopause), Low Mood, PTSD, Relationships, Trauma, Wellbeing and Physical Health. Anything you feel is relevant - we can explore together. 

I offer both face to face and online sessions. Our face to face sessions take place at Elements Therapies in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.  Here we will meet and discuss anything you feel is important and of value. The rooms at Elements are welcoming and comfortable and I hope that you will immediately feel at ease as we begin to establish our therapeutic relationship.   I understand and appreciate that starting therapy can feel daunting and therefore, I offer an initial 20 minute free phone conversation to determine if we think we are a good fit.  Once this takes place, we will arrange a time to meet.   My therapeutic approach is rooted in the Person-Centred philosophy, which means I believe that we are all our own experts, and we all have unique needs, values and perceptions which curate our individual lived experience. 

Our first session will of course feel a little different to other sessions because it will be new and unfamiliar. We will begin with contracting and a bit of a check in -  to help you feel settled. Then, I will invite you to share whatever about yourself and what has brought you to therapy, that you wish to share.  My hope is that I offer you a space that feels safe to do so and you feel a sense of calm. By the end of the session, I hope you leave feeling  heard, understood and well acquainted- so future sessions feel natural and comfortable- and of value.
