Alongside this, I also access the creative imagination and your deeper potential and sense of purpose.
My aim is to improve your mental health for the long term and give you great tools for you to use everyday.
If you choose Psychotherapy with me is, we will go deeper into your history, reaching the heart of your issues, making sense of past patterns of behaviours and your feelings.
Once we know our patterns, we can challenge ourselves, with compassion, to address them and try new ways to live.

If any of this resonates with you, do get in touch. I am more than happy to talk about how psychotherapy works and how it can help you, or someone you care about.
I work with individuals on line in the UK, Europe. I work face to face in York and Haxby.
I really believe we all have an amazing ability to develop and become who we were truly meant to be. We just need to plant the seed of change to see what is really possible in our lives.
I imagine you would like some aspects of your life to be different, and you are wondering if I, and psychotherapy, can help you.
You might be dealing with challenging feelings that are overwhelming you and affecting your work, relationships and life in general.
You may be experiencing anxiety or depression that is deeply impacting how you live your life.
OCD or intrusive thoughts might be a struggle for you.
Perhaps you are exploring whether you have ADHD or are Autistic. You could have a recent diagnosis and are struggling to make sense of it.
Or you may be coming to terms with a loss, bereavement and life change such as divorce and looking for a way to process it and find a way forward.
Perhaps you are dealing with chronic physical illness, cancer or surgery. You might want to discuss how this has affected you.
Sometimes life just feels overwhelming and confusing, we might feel lost and don't know which way to turn.
Our work together will help you feel more centred in your life, whilst also giving you the momentum to reach forward and make the most of your future.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
