Are you starting to feel like there are answers for how you are right now that remain just out of reach? That your search is starting to dominate your behaviour both in and out of work, your emotions are harder to control, and a good night's sleep feels like a distant memory?

Life sometimes moves along in ways that take us by surprise, challenging our normally reliable coping mechanisms as we try to find a way to work through our relationships with family, friends and colleagues.

At points anxiety, depression and stress all seem like they might fit you, but they don't quite feel right.

With over 20 years of experience as an integrative counsellor, I specialise in helping you work through your recent experiences and reconnect with your sense of control in life.

Whether anxiety, stress or depression have taken hold of how you live and work, I'm committed to working with you to find a way back to the version of yourself you recognise. To build an understanding of your experience, and the structures to help keep you there.

My work is to support you during these difficult moments, to help you with how and why you find yourself where you are, to look at how to work towards the future and what to do to avoid returning to patterns that have been harmful.

I value the unique experience and perspective of life that you bring with you, and I will work with you to make sure that any change is right and consistent with your individuality.

We can work in person, online or by telephone. The direction is the same whichever we choose, collaborative and led by you. What changes is the dynamic, and for some people one suits better than another.

By training I practise in the integrative model, combining Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Existential and Cognitive Behavioural theory. That said, the work we do together builds a therapeutic relationship that can matter as much as the theory, sometimes more.

Over time I've realised that many clients arrive in therapy with concerns about the quality or quantity of their sleep, which can affect the time it takes to work through their issues in our sessions. To help with this, I've trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Whether your sleep is suffering because of your issues, or sleep itself is the issue, there's a place for you.

I've built a workplace counselling practice, working on-site with people who have issues around their working life, how it affects their relationships and worldview.

If you are on an NHS Talking Therapies waiting list for longer-term, Step 3 therapy, and feel you have waited long enough, I offer a reduced-cost route so the work can begin sooner. Please get in touch and we can talk it through.

Not everyone is looking for ongoing therapy. Sometimes a single session, soon, is what helps most, a chance to think something through with a therapist today or tomorrow rather than wait. I offer single-session work for exactly those moments.

A 15 minute first phone or video call is free. Nothing to fill out, no commitment. There's plenty of time for your questions, at the call and in the first session.

The first session gives you a longer chance to decide whether I'm the right therapist for you, again with no commitment. If you decide I'm not, there's no charge.

If it feels like we can work together, we can talk at the end about how the work is organised, and the simple paperwork that goes with starting
