My Approach

UKCP Accredited . Diploma Integrative psychotherapeutic counselling .
Working with different techniques of multiple schools of psychotherapy and aiming to implement into one approach . This enables me to work flexibly with clients and tailor a bespoke counselling and therapy approach with clients .

About Me

I would like to say a little about me and my personal journey with therapy and counselling . Losing a sibling at a young age due to terminal cancer and another close family member having a cancer scare really impacted on me without realising this was affecting me .

I can recall this time in my life and to this day can still feel the physiological impact on my life and health . I started with panic attacks and became overcome with health anxiety and worries that were irrational , but not to me at that time .

I was anxious , scared and did not know where to turn . I sought support and counselling and although this was scary and daunting for me , it was the best thing I did and from that day and the first session I had I never looked back and began studying in transactional analysis and this became my passion in helping , supporting clients who may have encountered personal trauma and need support and guidance through the therapeutic relationship .

The therapy sessions were priceless and I learned so much about myself and my thought process and self belief , and that was my initial introduction and interest in therapy and have been passionate ever since .
If you feel you resonate with my story or need therapy in areas of your life , give me a call . Thirty minute free initial telephone call and we can decide and take it from there .
60 minute therapy sessions , face to face contact , online appointments available

I also have personal experience in loss and bereavement . Working through the process of terminal illness , dementia .Alzheimer's and the grief that comes with the illness before a person dies . Finding coping mechanisms and strategies to help manage an illness .
I have a special interest in divorce and working with clients who are going through and have experience of the stress and grief associated with getting divorced . The feelings and anxiety that can come with getting divorced after many years of being married , shame , guilt , sadness and loss . All associated with the trauma of thinking about ending a marriage or starting proceedings to divorce .
I am passionate in working with clients on family related issues and concerns that can impact significantly on family members and family dynamics .
I have personal experience in working with loss and separation and how this can affect us in many ways , mirroring grief , anxiety . Working with various forms of separation from minor experiences to big events of separation and at times can be debilitating on our everyday lives .
I have many years experience of working with clients both young people , and adults who have suffered many forms of abuse and trauma in their early formative years , which impacted on their adult lives in the here and now . Trauma can manifest in many forms of abuse and can manifest within ourselves as different various symptoms , anger , anxiety , low mood and depression .
