My Approach

It can be helpful to to know that there is not one 'right' way or specific 'real' reason to start therapy. As a person-centred psychotherapist, I will help you engage with what is essential to and for you. Whilst some people approach therapy with one specific issue to explore and work on, it is not unusual to feel there are different issues to bring.

The following highlights some specific areas I am experienced in working with people on:
* Support for learners, researchers, and those working in adult education: I have experience working with students and researchers as a counsellor and have a track record as an academic working in higher education. I bring my knowledge of University spaces and processes to support students and staff accessing therapy to thrive (and not just survive) in academic environments.
* Support for professionals addressing career-relevant challenges: Clients can be seeking to focus on their professional development, so you may be looking to improve your sense of purpose and presence in your professional space or make changes in relation to (including seeking to return to) employment.
* Personal and family experience of disability (including mental distress)

About Me

I’m Harriet, and I could be the therapist for you if you are looking to make time on a weekly basis to connect with your own feelings, experiences, thoughts, values, wants and needs. I don't offer a prescriptive approach. Paths forward aren't found by following someone else's map but by developing self-knowledge and confidence to take more ownership of your own direction. When life is challenging a therapist can support you to have space and opportunity to do that.

Special Interests

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.

How old (or young!) do you feel you are? I work with adults aged 18+ and strongly believe in no upper age limit for entering psychotherapy! Younger people, middle aged people and older people all can experience personal challenges that bring them to therapy. Many of us can experience the weight of expectations - from others or ourselves- about how we ‘should’ be and what we ‘ought to’ be doing at different ages. But the reality is we may either not be able to live our lives based on those expectations or we may want to choose not to. We may also find it challenging - and interesting - to work out how to adjust to different chapters of our lives.
When living with experience of disability, impairment or long standing health difficulties, psychotherapy can be an opportunity to identify challenges faced whether that be in relation to discrimination and/or experience of the impairment/condition.
In families, relationships of care can often mean that individuals are seeking a balance between how to be there for other people and how to retain some space for themselves. Family life can be challenging and expressing who you are and what you need might be a particular concern. Others are concerned to manage their own wellbeing in the context of family life that has been harmful to them and psychotherapy may be helpful in supporting moving forwards to reduce the impact of those relationships and find more supportive environments. Whatever your circumstances psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore relationships and consider your own needs for belonging and the giving and receiving of care
Managing long standing health concerns can be exhausting and even lonely - for example you may be living with pain, with managing medication or other treatments, and / or experiencing uncertainty if the condition is progressive or fluctuating. Managing engaging with health professionals and / or family and friends when living with health difficulties can also be useful to explore, especially if relationships feel ‘stuck’ or are changing in ways that are raising questions or concerns for you.
Mental health concerns are a primary reason why many people consider counselling or psychotherapy. Whether or not you have sought or received a diagnosis, psychotherapy provides space for you to explore, understand and respond to your mental distress.
