About me and my therapy practice
If you have found your way to this page it is likely that there are things in your life that you’re struggling with right now.
We all have things in our life that trouble us, challenge us and get in the way of us being ourselves, living a full life and enjoying great relationships.
Is any of this familiar?
You find it difficult to focus at times and your head is often filled with worries and ‘what ifs’.
You regularly feel nervous and panicky.
You have trouble sleeping.
These are some common symptoms of anxiety but there are many others.
Anxiety can have a huge impact on your life. It can affect anyone at any time of life. It can overwhelm you and leave you feeling lonely, confused and isolated. It can also affect your self-esteem and confidence.
There can be many reasons why you are feeling the way you do. It may be to do with work or relationships, or perhaps you can’t put your finger on why you’re feeling this way.
Whatever it is, I can help. Together we’ll find out what it is that is getting in the way of things. We’ll then work through what is troubling you and I will give you the understanding, tools and techniques to help you to manage and overcome those negative feelings.
For over ten years I have been helping people to overcome their difficulties and empowering them to manage their well-being.
I am a person-centered therapist and although I work specifically with anxiety, I have many years experience working with a wide range of clients and presenting issues. As everyone is an individual, I tailor all support to you.
I have a strong interest in the healing power of Nature for well-being, the benefits of which are well documented.
As a vegan therapist I also offer a safe space for any vegan clients to navigate any particular issues they may be experiencing.
Practice description
I have been providing therapy to individuals and businesses across Merseyside and the North-West, as well as nationwide, for the last ten years.
I provide a professional, warm tailored service, helping my clients to move forward positively and build their resilience.
In addition to my private practice, I also have experience working with a large national mental health charity, survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, as well as extensive experience of EAP and occupational health.
I take a holistic approach to your well-being and am also a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist; a Reiki Master Teacher, a Life Coach, a Mentor, a Student Mentor and a Wellbeing Practitioner.
I have always had an interest in working with Nature for well-being, the benefits of which are well documented. As well as being able to incorporate this into your therapy if you wish, I also offer courses and workshops to help you to deepen your connection with Nature.
As a vegan therapist, I also have an awareness of the particular issues my vegan clients may experience. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore and work-through any issues or difficulties.
I offer all services online and/or via telephone. This means I can work with clients nationwide. It can also make it easier for you to fit your sessions into your schedule.
Although I have experience working with a wide variety of issues, issues I commonly work with include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Personal development
- Confidence-building
- Workplace issues
- Domestic abuse
- EAP
- Climate anxiety
- Vegan issues
