Therapy is a proven way of helping us to face difficulties, discover who we are, manage emotional stresses and recover from challenging experiences.
Skilled at enabling clients to feel safe, I am also highly effective at helping you to understand your emotions, manage relationships and stop unhelpful behaviours.
Whether it is short term therapy you require to help manage an upsetting situation or longer-term input leading to greater self-understanding, I can promise we will work together using ground-breaking therapy to meet your needs.
With separate qualifications enabling work with adults, adolescents, couples and clinical supervisees, I am also one of only a handful of UK Psychotherapists trained in AEDP, a trauma-informed integrative combination of neurobiology and traditional Psychotherapy and Logosynthesis which is a highly effective but gentle, coaching intervention. I am also trained in contemporary CBT and the use of creative interventions, PTSD interventions, and hold enhanced DBS status for both children and vulnerable adults.
BACP Accredited status means I have successfully demonstrated a high level of proficiency as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist within the BACP Ethical Framework, assuring you of my competence whilst my Clinical Supervision Qualification demonstrates that you can trust my professionalism.
Here are some examples of things I can help you with…
Loss and change due to bereavement, suicide, baby loss, job loss or illness.
Behaving in ways you know are not helpful but can’t seem to stop? Repeating patterns of behaviour are an attempt to solve something and it will be our task to uncover underlying causes.
Conflicts: problems with your other half or family, friends or colleagues? Do people let you down, betray you and break your trust with cheating, or abusive behaviours towards you or loved ones? Maybe you cannot feel close to people and want to know how to address this?
Addictions: Are you or family members abusing drugs, alcohol or in gambling debt? As well as looking at how to help we can also explore the underlying causes of relapses.
Tragic events: anything from imprisonment of a family member to suicide or mental breakdown can take us by surprise, leaving us reeling from their impact.
Mental health: Do you live or care for someone with mental illness? Maybe you or someone you know self-harms, is too anxious to function at times, has abnormal eating patterns or compulsive behaviours? Or behave in confusing or uncharacteristic ways and you wonder what if anything can be done about this?
Things in your past? Maybe you simply want to say things in confidence which need to be heard by a non-judgemental listener.
Each person has a story to tell, and I can promise you that yours will be heard both in safety and in the strictest confidence.
Whatever it is you want to bring, I am here to help adults, couples and teenagers overcome obstacles to happier lives and fulfilling relationships.
Specialisms include my research into the mental health impact of Neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia), ongoing study of therapeutic methods for treating PTSD and Complex Trauma.
