Many find the safe space that counselling offers helpful in gaining perspective - a place to press pause for a moment, to breathe, to reflect, & be heard. I offer a friendly, non-judgemental environment in which to explore diverse issues, including anxiety, depression & relationship issues. My therapeutic base is person-centred; I integrate experience from a wide range of therapeutic traditions including; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focussed, and Transpersonal approaches.
I have over 16 years of clinical experience working therapeutically with adults, couples and young people, in education, health, private, and charitable settings (including Relate, Psychology Associates, and the NHS).
Everyone has unique experiences and requirements, therefore my approach is integrative. Therapy sessions are tailored to fit your needs and we can discuss this in our first meeting or over the phone in an exploratory call.
People of all ages and walks of life access counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes something in the past has not been dealt with. Or something unsettling has happened that's impacting on daily life.
When we are feeling stuck counselling can be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect to our essence because it encourages a deeper understanding of our individual core needs and values. There is something paradoxical in the theory of change; transformation often happens when we fully accept our feelings, and the person that we truly are in the moment. By making an internal shift our external world somehow changes too and we begin to move towards a more resilient and more joyful sense of self.
Some common themes people bring include:
- Anxiety & Stress
- Relationships Issues
- Identity
- Complex Family Issues
- Bullying at Work 0r School
- Spiritual crisis
- Bereavement & Loss
- Depression & Low Mood
- Disordered Eating
- Low Self Esteem
- Trauma & Abuse
- Anger Management
- Health Issues
- Panic Attacks
- Self-harm
- Addictions
- OCD
Inevitably any presenting issue may be caused by another underlying issue – for example self-harm may be caused by a complex family situation. Maybe you'd like to explore some unhelpful behavioural patterns; or just have the feeling that life isn’t being lived as it should.
If you are facing an unsettling situation I'd like to reassure you that things can change. Even a tiny step can lead to a big change for you ... but the first step is often the hardest before we can move forward to where we want to be in life.
Therapy models I have trained in and can offer include: Person Centred, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Trauma Focussed CBT, Transactional Analysis (TA), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Psychodynamic, Transpersonal, Counselling Children & young people and Supervision.

I also offer clinical supervision to counsellors.

I have a friendly and respectful approach to facilitate an open exploration of all aspects of your client work. Whatever your level of experience, I will support you to meet the needs of your clients within the context you work in.
Working in an integrative way provides a wide theory base to draw on; but the relationship remains essential in providing a positive and rewarding experience of supervision. The Seven Eyed model is very helpful in giving seven areas of focus integrating both systemic and relational aspects to draw upon in our supervision sessions. .
We can work together to gain a deeper understanding on what is going on below the surface, what is implicit or unconscious in what we are sharing. I work with the whole person; body, thoughts, feelings and emotions.
It is my aim to help you become more aware of your own resources & strengths, as well as encouraging mindfulness of any potential blindspots. Awareness of risk, and giving importance to self care, are also important aspects of supervision. I offer space in which to explore any issues arising from your counselling practice and at times you may wish to explore how your personal life may be interacting with your professional life.
The supervision I receive for my own work helps me to improve my practice and ensures that my clients are receiving the best possible service. It also helps me to be mindful of my own blind spots!
As well as working with individuals and couples, I have extensive experience of establishing counselling services in schools offering therapy & wellbeing groups to children & teens. This experience enables me to offer effective support to counsellors who are also working in educational settings.
Currently I am providing staff supervision to Child Protection Teams in schools offering a space to bring any material that may be impacting their work and home lives, helping to ensure a healthy work-life balance and to prevent vicarious trauma.
Whilst I work as an integrative counsellor, I am happy to provide supervision to counsellors offering alternative modalities to their clients. If you'd like to find out more about the supervision I offer, please get in touch for an informal discussion of how we could work together..
I work both in person and online.

As a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy) www.bacp.co.uk I abide by their ethical code. I’m fully qualified, insured and hold DBS enhanced certificates.
What is shared between you and a counsellor is completely confidential and will not be talked about outside the session. Material will only be shared with my clinical supervisor and I will only need to break confidentiality if you, or someone else connected with you, may be at serious risk of harm - from yourself or other people. I will talk to you about the limits of confidentiality in our first session.
No matter how small or how big your concern is, the fact that something is on your mind means it’s important to you and deserves attention and respect. By listening to you I identify your concerns, help make sense of your world, and offer appropriate insight and resources to suit your individual needs. It is my hope that you can become kinder to yourself and make peace with anything that may be causing emotional distress.
And while some choose to work long term, the number of sessions you have is entirely up to you. For others even one session can be sufficiently beneficial - and all it takes to make that important first step.
All are welcome ~ individuals; couples, children, & adolescents. I work both in person and online.

Psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety.
Depression, low mood, anxiety, trauma and grief are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Many experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances.
While a certain amount of anxiety is a normal part of life, sometimes thoughts and emotions seem to get stuck in our brain and we appear to be unwittingly reinforcing the traumatic memories by travelling over and over those same neural pathways.
Neuroscientists, whose area of study includes the brain and emotions, say that "when you can label a feeling - be it happy, sad or angry - it loses some of its charge and you don't feel so overwhelmed by it". (Sarah Rudell Beach).
Excessive anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. Counselling can help you create new pathways, overcome these symptoms, and guide you through the process of grief and healing. (For crisis situations please access the ‘About Counselling’ tab below, where you will discover helpful links and contacts).

I offer a supportive space to explore many issues including relationship issues. It can be useful to have a neutral sounding board to explore choices and options.
A recent article in Therapy Today says that all relationships will include conflict at some point; it’s how you navigate that conflict that really matters. “Relationship counselling reminded us that ‘love’ is a verb, and we have to practise it every day.”
Counselling can be beneficial to those seeking to improve communication and strengthen their emotional connections to others.
Unhealthy patterns can be overcome (sometimes surprisingly quickly); and making unconscious behaviour conscious can be transformational to any relationship. If you're feeling stuck, or angry, or just plain frustrated, then getting a fresh perspective and seeing how things connect can really help.
Some also seek Psychotherapy to get insight into a happier way of relating to themselves.

Counselling Children and Young People.
Sometimes just talking is enough and sometimes getting creative is more helpful in facilitating communication and letting go of worries.
I enjoy the spontaneity of working therapeutically with children and young people; and have considerable experience working along side CAMHS. I've set up counselling services across two clusters in Leeds (in primary and secondary schools) on behalf of Relate; I‘ve worked as a University Counsellor at Leeds Beckett and recently established a successful Wellbeing Service in a large Harrogate high school on behalf of Wellspring. And currently I am offering counselling to young people and Staff Supervision to teachers in Schools in Plymouth and Cornwall on behalf of Psychology Associates. www.psychologyassociates.org.uk
I have many effective counselling tools; both practical and creative, that young people usually find most helpful. Counselling can be an enjoyable and safe way to express their concerns in order to move towards a happier healthier state.
