Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma? Do daily challenges feel overwhelming, or are you grappling with feelings of isolation and loneliness following a significant life changing event or loss? Do you feel stuck, unable to understand why life feels more difficult than it should?

At times, life can become difficult, and we may find ourselves disconnected not only from the world around us but also from our true selves. When this occurs, professional support can make all the difference.

I am a fully qualified, MBACP registered counsellor based in Bedford, dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of personal development and healing. With experience in both private and NHS settings, I incorporate a variety of traditional counselling and psychotherapeutic approaches such as:

Person Centered

Emotion Focused/Experiential

Psychodynamic

DBT

Solution Focused/Coaching Skills

Additionally, I specialize in addiction recovery, working in the private rehabilitation sector and having had a profound experience with my own recovery journey.

Through my own experience, I have learned that the most powerful form of addiction/dependency is not tied to substances or behaviors, but to the thoughts and belief systems we all carry with us that shape our perceptions of ourselves and the world we live in, which is often where we get stuck. Throughout our lives we are conditioned by our experiences and environments, influencing the ways we think and feel. My role is to walk with you as you explore and challenge these beliefs, uncovering the emotions and patterns that shape your life. Together, we will work towards your goals, in a safe, non-judgmental environment, helping you achieve personal growth and lasting positive change.

My primary goal is to create a safe, supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, grounded in trust. I offer fresh perspectives, guiding you to examine your life experience from angles that may alleviate the pain they cause. Our thoughts and perceptions directly influence our feelings, which in turn create the reality we live in.

Having worked with diverse client groups in both the private rehabilitation sector and the NHS as a Relational Therapist for Depression, I have supported individuals from various walks of life, each with unique challenges, often underpinned by trauma. I believe that the key to healing lies in uncovering the root causes of pain and providing a space where individuals can explore their emotions freely. It is through this process that clients often experience true freedom and peace of mind.

Many of my clients have found relief from deep emotional pain related to:

• Bereavement & Suicide

• Sexual Abuse

• Dysfunctional Family Environments & Childhood Trauma

• Relationship Breakdown & Divorce

• Children/Families of Alcoholics/Addicts

• Bullying

• Loneliness & Isolation

• PTSD, Depression & Anxiety

• Chronic Illness & Long-Term Health Conditions

• Addiction (Substances, Alcohol, Medication, Eating Disorders, Gambling, Pornography, Work, Social Media/Dating Apps)

• Self-Harm, OCD, Intrusive thoughts & Compulsive Behaviors

• Co-Dependency & Sex/Love Addiction

• ADHD & Emotional Regulation Difficulties

I believe that within each of us lies the capacity to overcome the challenges holding us back from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. My role is to help you recognize and harness your own inner strengths so that you can experience peace and thrive as your authentic self.

I understand that the first session with a new therapist can feel daunting. You may be wondering, “What will they be like? Will we connect? What will happen during our time together?”

As part of my commitment to ethical practice, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone assessment. 

In our first session, we will explore your needs and expectations, setting a foundation for the work we will do together. My approach is rooted in the therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients, so there is no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions right away. 

Our sessions will be open-ended, tailored to your unique needs, and never bound by a fixed number of appointments. The pace and structure of therapy will evolve as we work together, ensuring that you are always at the center of your therapeutic journey.
