About the Therapist

About the therapist:

As a therapist my role is to offer you a safe space to share whatever you wish to bring. I will always endeavour to offer an open-heart without judgement and at the same time some gentle challenge to any blind-spots, to help you gain more clarity and understanding.

Together, we can work collaboratively on your issues to help you gain a deeper sense of wellbeing. I see every person as having the ability to develop a strong and healthy sense of self-worth. To help us work in the present moment, whilst respecting any unresolved difficulties from the past, I use a blend of theoretical models to maintain an holistic awareness.

Talking to someone about how you think and feel can transform the way you live your life. Whether you are navigating relationship issues, dealing with anxiety or depression, or seeking personal growth, I offer a safe, confidential and judgement-free space tailored to your needs.

Experience and approach:

Counselling for Individuals -

Many people choose counselling when experiencing difficulties, distress or dissatisfaction in their lives and want to speak with somebody who is independent of family and friends. Whatever your background, culture or identity, I am here to listen, support and guide you towards clarity and healing.

Together we can work on changing thought patterns and behaviours that no longer serve you. Explore unresolved difficulties from your past to make sense of the present, and focus on building self-worth, resilience and emotional balance

Counselling for Couples -

Working together, I will teach you and your partner new ways to communicate, blame-free, with a focus on positivity. Using the Imago Relationship Therapy approach, my aim is to help you improve communication by learning new constructive ways to talk without blame or shame. To identify barriers by exploring and addressing out-of-date patterns of behaviour, and help you focus on Positivity by embracing the differences in your relationship and turn them into strengths.

With considerable experience and understanding of the different lifestyles within the LGBTQ+ community, I offer a safe space to explore openly and without shame. It is highly important to me to consider each person as a unique individual, recognising that we are all fundamentally worthy; whatever your background, culture or identity, I welcome you.

By integrating modern techniques and approaches, together we can find a way for you to feel understood and find the joy in your life by accepting and working through the difficulties you may be facing.

As an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) I work within their ethical framework. I also engage with regular CPD and Supervision to ensure I provide you with a quality and up-to-date service.
