Hi - are you feeling stuck? Repeating the same patterns of behaviour again and again in your life or relationship and going around in circles? Do you feel a lack of love/respect with your partner or someone close to you? Has sex, intimacy or compulsive sexual behaviour become an issue and you don't quite know how to approach it? Perhaps trauma, life changes, neurodiversity (adhd/asc) or difficult times have led to anxiety/depression, low self-confidence, the trust has gone, or you're simply feeling sad, stressed, lonely, angry, misunderstood, numb, or just not sure what you feel anymore . . .

It is important that everyone feels comfortable so I am happy to offer a free 15-minute Zoom or phone consultation with no obligation ... just a chance to see how it feels to talk.

People seek counselling or self-help for many reasons but often the attention is solely on the person, not the impact of behaviour on those around them. I provide a safe, confidential space working collaboratively with individuals, couples and ENM/CNM relationships to help understand what might be going on emotionally and physically resulting in the overall effect.

I am a Relate/CPCAB qualified practitioner, Accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, a fully Registered member of the BACP and endorsed by COSRT - the UK’s only professional body dedicated to Relationship and Psychosexual Therapies. I also work at Relate as a Specialist, partner with Tavistock focusing on Mentalization Behavioural Therapy (MBT) helping together and single parents in conflict achieve better communication, am certified with the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (AANE), plus CICS and have completed the ICEEFT LGBTQ+ Externship. I am experienced in supporting a diverse range of people wanting to improve their lives and relationships so my practice is integrative, varied and bespoke for different ethnicities, backgrounds and identities including gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD).

Additionally, it may interest you to know that I have trained with IFS UK and am Internal Family Systems (IFS) as well as Brainspotting certified. Traditional talking therapy is not the only way to process trauma or distress and for some it can only go so far, feel too intrusive, repetitive, or even re-traumatise. Building safety and stabilisation techniques, as well as recognising how you give Consent and developing freedom of choice to ask for what you want, is key.

I also offer One Session Therapy. If you are unsure, on a waiting list, or looking to strengthen your relationship and can identify one specific skill you want to build, or would like to address an issue that is weighing you down but don't think it requires a number of sessions to resolve, then this may be for you. Change starts from seeing a situation in a different light but it's not always easy opening up to the people around us, so a one-off session with a professional, unbiased focus can be like an emotional detox to help us unburden and feel lighter. Some also use this as a 'self-care check-in' … you can rest assured knowing you are able to come and go and check in or out with me whenever needed … no block bookings and no pressure!

My previous experience of working in the NHS and being a Samaritans Leader made me conscious about giving more possibilities and autonomy to everybody seeking support. Using systemic, psychodynamic, relational and neuroscience skills, as you can see, this is not a one-size-fits-all viewpoint ... rather an organic approach, validation of perspectives, with a uniqueness and non-judgmental attitude to help you and your situation.

Good self-esteem leads to healthy boundaries leading to positive relationships and all are key to the foundation of our general mental health and overall sense of wellbeing. If you're overwhelmed, feeling vulnerable or struggling in your personal, professional or romantic life, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Warmest wishes
