There are many therapists who can provide a listening space. What I offer goes beyond that. I work in a warm, intuitive, and down-to-earth way, and I’m also dynamic and direct—I won’t keep you circling the same ground. I notice the underlying “red thread” in someone’s experience fairly quickly—the emotional themes and relational dynamics that sit beneath what you’re going through—and help bring them into focus in a way that feels clear rather than overwhelming.
My approach
Our work is about understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface. Not just talking about what is happening, but exploring why it keeps happening—developing insight into your emotional responses and the different parts of you that may feel in conflict. As we begin to make sense of these deeper layers, what once felt confusing or automatic can start to feel more understandable and workable. From there, change begins to emerge naturally; you feel more grounded, more aware of your choices, and less stuck in the same patterns.
I work with all kinds of emotional and relational difficulties. Sessions are usually weekly, we review progress periodically, and work together until you feel that you are in a place of balance, with a renewed capacity to weather life’s storms.
Delving deeper
Specialism
I specialise in working with trauma and the impact of difficult or harmful experiences, including abuse. We go at a pace that feels right for you, and there is no expectation to talk about anything before you feel ready. The focus is always on creating a sense of stability, so that difficult experiences can be approached gently over time, without risk of re-traumatisation.
Experience & qualifications
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor with over 10 years’ experience in private practice.
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (2015) – Independent Counselling Training, Bedford
Senior accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (SNCPS)
