​I'm offering reduced sessions at £60 to reflect challenging times for everyone. When life feels overwhelming it can affect relationships, work, health, emotions, feelings and behaviour. It’s really important to talk things through unconditionally. I work in a very different way to most therapists, by setting goals for homework , journalling to explore triggers from your past which can feel challenging, to help you feel empowered, to make significant life changes. To develop insight, awareness prioritise your own needs and set strong boundaries. It’s time to make life changes reach out, book your free session and see how we get along
​
I work in a very different way to most therapists, empowering you to become your own therapist.
With over 39 years of experience as a professional Integrative Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Supervisor. This has helped me to develop a challenging and compassionate practice to help my clients to focus on Short - Term Sessions and if required moving into Long -Term Sessions.
​
I embrace diversity, change and difference with ongoing professional development to support all my clients and therapists.
​
I will help you to completely change the way you think; your belief system, habits, attitude, to help you to make the most of your life.
You will become the very best you can be, developing healthier and happier behaviour, relationships, routine, habits even sleep and in a very quick and professional way because I am both experienced and qualified and will not waste any time.
​
Yes, sometimes sessions will be challenging, without judgment and always with so much empathy and compassion if you want to change and feel empowered to be the best version of you then contact me now...
Sessions are limited...
This way of working helps me to make space for new clients, contact me now for your first free session.
​
My focus is to help my clients to reach their full potential. Whether you are a successful actor dealing with a confidence crisis, a CEO struggling with company issues, a student stressing about exams, someone coping with unemployment, battling to cope with depression, anxiety, work, struggling with relationships, home life, experiencing too much stress, overthinking or worrying, trying to cope with anger, unhelpful behaviour or having too little happiness in your life. I am here to support you with the compassion and challenge that will help you to make the positive and healthy choices you need to change your life.
​
Right from the very first session, I will help you in several ways:
​
-
To explore your past and present thoughts, feelings, emotions, belief systems, patterns of behaviour, relationship issues (attachment, co-dependency) and any potential triggers. To focus on your needs, develop healthy relational boundaries and filters by setting achievable goals.
2. To empower you as my client to become your own therapist we will explore everything about your life at
home, work, study, exercise, your sleep patterns, how you take care of yourself, food, supplements to
support your full well-being.
​​
To move your life forward, help you develop ways to take control, develop a much healthier life balance.
Homework in between sessions will empower and help you to focus on your own, towards becoming your very own therapist.
​
I have developed a depth of knowledge to support you, working with a variety of modalities including; (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (DBT) Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Holistic, Psychodynamic, Analytical, Gestalt and Humanistic.
Each individual client and supervisee will embrace a depth of awareness and challenging work processes, feel empowered, gain insight into every relationship, focus on needs including physical, emotional, mental, holistic health, at work, leisure, home, especially sleep, diet, habits, addictions and patterns of behaviour.
​Life may feel unbearable at times but take some comfort from knowing that it will not last forever I am here to support you through sessions for as long as you need them.
​
Please contact me to arrange your first session which is Free for individual, couples or Therapists in Supervision to help you to experience how it feels to work with me and to see if we work well together as a good fit.
​
Online Sessions are perfect to have in the comfort of your own home or private space and you will feel the benefit within your familiar surroundings. Make sure you have a good internet signal, create a safe, confidential and comfortable arrangement with a glass of water ready in good time just before our session.
​
Online apps are simple to use, just download your preferred online app - Skype, Zoom or VSee and add my details before the day of session to confirm you are ready to use.
​
Together we will embrace a depth of work and challenging processes, each individual client and therapist you will feel empowered, gain insight into every individual particular need including physical, emotional, mental, holistic health at play, work and home especially sleep and diet.
​
This is never an easy path, but it is achievable as we combine attentive, detailed listening with self-awareness, intense ‘HOMEWORK’ processing and to help my clients to identify and make significant empowering changes. ​
I will enable you to achieve positive changes and to gain the confidence and skills to cope effectively with life’s challenges as they arise, both now and in the future. I bring a wealth of experience to gently challenge and help you to work through stress, depression, anxiety, feeling stuck, overthinking or just need to talk things through to make sense and move on.
I provide a confidential, safe and anonymous space where you can feel very relaxed, heard, supported and safe to express and explore whatever is on your mind. It is very easy to book a session with me to explore ways to make positive choices and changes towards living a much happier and healthier life.
I work with couples and individuals in short- or long-term sessions.
I also set work in between sessions to enable you to feel much more empowered, to process changes quickly becoming far more independent of therapy by developing your own skills, techniques and strategies.
​
I worked for the NHS during which I undertook training and awareness in both physical and mental health settings. This enabled me to gain in-depth experience of working with the full range of psychological and psychiatric conditions out-patient settings, as well as experience of physical conditions whilst working in a variety of medical settings such as neurology, rheumatology and physical well-being.
​
I will support you for as long or as short as you feel you need; through anything you struggle with. If you feel unhappy, unfulfilled, unable to reach your full potential, sad, depressed, stressed, or anxious, and feel it’s time to talk things through. I am always here for you every step of the way to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions, or try to make sense of things.
​
I will help you to express and process any past or present challenging experiences and behaviour. I will help you to unpack whatever is on your mind, to gain a deeper understanding towards improving focus on your needs, to create healthy boundaries, develop self-awareness and grow in confidence towards your chosen goals.
I will support you to set your own goals, to find your voice, to feel heard, to make informed choices, bring important changes and gain a much deeper understanding of what may trigger you to feel stuck by exploring things that can hold you back.

Together we can explore feelings and emotions that trigger trauma and begin to bear the unbearable, we can explore blocks, feeling blinkered or rigid thinking using gentle, small steps. We can work creatively using a sand tray, photographic images, chair work to process gently and move life forward.
Please do contact to arrange a session, remember sessions are very easy to arrange, I always encourage my clients to work towards becoming independent of therapy from early on rather than spending years in therapy.
My clients can work in between sessions with homework to develop stronger techniques and strategies sooner.
Please send me an email and I will always try to make space midweek Tuesday to Thursday to book you straight in.
