At Unstuck Therapy my goal is to help you break free of limiting patterns, ignite your inner strength & embrace positive change.

I am an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I'm also a member of the BACP's Public Protection Committee, supporting it's work to protect the public from harm.

As a therapist, I take a client-centered approach to working with others. That means I work collaboratively with you to create a supportive & nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth & healing & I'm dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey toward this.

Working integratively, I combine a variety of evidence-based therapies; including mindfulness & cognitive behaviour therapies (CBT), psychodynamic & humanistic-existential therapies to find the right fit for you.

I have a particular interest in working with underserved communities (such as BIPOC/BAME, LGBTQIA, or those disabled by society) in a cross-cultural & culturally competent manner; your experiences are unique & they matter.

I recognise that seeking help is a courageous step and there are barriers that make it harder to get support. Unstuck Therapy is primarily an online therapy service, providing flexibility to fit into your potentially busy life and more accessibility to those who can't get to physical spaces.

Using an integrated counselling approach, I combine evidence-based therapies and techniques in the safety of a warm therapeutic relationship, to tap into your unique strengths & values so you are equipped with the tools to navigate challenges & live a meaningful life.

Collaboratively, we will explore patterns that leave you feeling stuck, make sense of them together and find ways to transform them into new ways of being so you can have a greater sense of purpose, passion & vitality in your life.

I work with:

Anxiety can be a warning to take notice & protect yourself but, unchecked, we can feel hijacked by worries, panic and fears that leave us trapped. Together we can learn the lessons hidden in your anxious thoughts, learn to tolerate & unhook from them enough to change how we respond to them.

***

Depression is different for us all. it can be an all-consuming stuckness, a sickness of the soul that leaves us unfulfilled and desperately looking for meaning.

Together we can sit in the trapped feelings, understand the role of depression in your life and make changes to find the fulfillment & meaning you're looking for.

***

Relationships can be hard; we can crave the connection, safety & love we need in them, but equally can fear how they make us vulnerable and our potential to be hurt by them. Exploring your relationships together, we can understand the dynamics in them & meet our needs.

***

We are all different, unique individuals. For some of us, our differences have led to us being on the outside & discriminated in society. These can be profoundly hurtful experiences that shape how we feel about & how freely we can be ourselves.

Together, we can create a space where you can be your whole-self, process hurts & find belonging. With particular welcome to those from underserved and marginalised communities.

It can feel like a big and intimidating step, reaching out for therapy for the first time. So let me tell you a bit about what you can expect.

Once you've reached out we'll arrange some time for an initial consultation. In that initial meeting, we'll start by discussing what you're finding difficult and how that affects you and the people around you. I'll talk to you a bit about therapy and how it might be able to help you.

You might have a clear idea about the concerns you're bringing, but you might just have a sense that something's wrong - I'm here for both and we can work through them together.

We can talk a bit more about the type of therapy that might be a good fit for you and for the difficulties you're experiencing and make a plan for working together; including how long we'll work together.

The initial consultation is free, but my ongoing session rate is £60 per session. I do offer a sliding scale and a limited number of low-cost options for those who might need it. Please let me know if this is something you might need and we can discuss this further.
