Life can be an overwhelming mix of stress, anxiety, or even darker thoughts. Do you ever feel needy in relationships? Or maybe you start to get close to someone then back away? I can help you understand what may be going on.
Maybe you're a survivor of trauma or violence, carrying burdens that feel too heavy to share.
I offer my clients a Person-Centred and Attachment-Based approach and I am trauma informed. I can offer a confidential space where you can be heard without judgment, and develop the skills to heal and grow. I can help you to be able to process your emotions, enabling you to better understand yourself and any difficult feelings. I can help guide you to find solutions that will work for you.
With regards to attachment, we can look at your relationships with your partner, parents, or friends and explore with kindness about what they may lack. This will help you understand and gain awareness.
I am experienced with working with sexual abuse survivors and have a deeper understanding of what trauma can do to the body and mind.
Sometimes we can find that our loved ones, despite their best intentions, simply don't have the tools to fully understand what we're going through. This is where professional support can make a difference.
You can share any aspect of your life with me and you will, seen, heard, and feel validated in a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space. I have a private and calm therapy room where you can be yourself, with no façade or brave face and I will accept for who you are.
I have a strong awareness of ADHD and I am Inclusive of those in the LGBTQ+ community.
In our first session you can expect a warm welcome, I will introduce myself and explain the contract to you. You will then have a chance to share what may be going on in your life right now and I will listen attentively. There is no right way to share how you are feeling, you can go as slow or as fast as you like, as, I will clarify anything I don't understand.
I understand that therapy may feel like a daunting process to embark on but sometimes we just need someone who will really care and support us, without the 'just get on with it' notion.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
