Our Therapists

Talking to a therapist in confidence may help you to understand and acknowledge the feelings you are experiencing and enable you to begin to move forward in your life. Counselling and Psychotherapy can be helpful whether you’re struggling with something specific, feeling generally low, overwhelmed or stuck. It offers you a place to slow down, reflect, and explore new perspectives and possibilities. Perhaps, you want things to be different in some way or feel that some focused time to explore, and better understand your thoughts and feelings might be helpful. Then this is the right place for you.

Since stress affects most of us at some point in our lives, it’s useful to recognize when you are under stress, what could be causing it and what you can do about it. Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand/threat/pressure, whether the experience is good or bad. Many things cause stress, and having the ability to identify your own stresses can be the first step in learning how to cope/deal with them. It is normal to experience stress and stress is quite beneficial for motivation during certain times when needed. It’s ok to have a bad day, and it’s ok to have a bad week (depending on the circumstances). The problem occurs when prolonged stress is present and a person feels unable to cope because our bodies are not designed to deal with huge demands (physically and emotionally) on a daily basis. I look forward to working with you.

You have a reason for being here today, and you are not alone. We have times in our lives when the feelings of distress, anxiety, depression, or even no feeling at all, cause us to stop functioning as we would and should. It may have been childhood issues troubling you for years, even forming part of your distinctiveness, or it may have happened suddenly due to a bereavement, abuse, relationship issues, family, work, or just life itself. At such moments, it is helpful to talk to someone who would listen, understand and is equipped with the right skill to enable you to address your problem meaningfully and unlock your tenacity. I am here to offer you that supportive and safe space that you need to work towards a positive change. I have extensive work experience within NHS, volunteering with agencies, private practice, and pastoral counseling setting

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions? Are you experiencing distressing physical symptoms and often not know why? Our ability to form and maintain relationships, anxiety, trauma and a range of mental health issues are all experienced in our bodies, not just in our minds.

Through therapy you can move forward, improve your quality of life, your emotional wellbeing and maximise your potential.

I believe you are the expert in your life and I work with you to identify what keeps you stuck by noticing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour. My goal is to help you learn new skills and strategies that you can use for many years to come.

It is really common for us to feel anxious and low at some point in our lives and it is at these times we benefit from non-judgmental support. I am a compassionate, warm and experienced therapist who can help you to make sense of these difficulties, build on your existing coping skills and feel empowered to make positive changes to more forward with your life and feel fulfilled.

Some people may think that seeking for help is a sign of weakness; however being able to admit that you alone can’t deal with a situation and looking for professional help, shows a great strength. If you have got this far, you are a strong person and you should continue reading. It’s part of the human nature to feel sometimes sad, nervous, even anxious… We all have had thoughts that we can’t get rid of, and who hasn’t felt sometimes on the edge and feeling unable to cope? Those are absolutely normal. However, no matter how intense or frequent these feelings and thoughts happen, if you feel overwhelmed by them, then they are important enough to be listened to and to seek for help. Have you ever felt anxious and the more you have tried to calm down, the more anxious you’ve felt? Have you ever tried to get rid of a recurrent thought, and the more you’ve tried to push it away, the more persistent it becomes? Who hasn’t felt a bit low in mood, and the more you’ve tried to cheer yourself up, the more unable you’ve felt? Does it ring a bell? Sometimes, with the best intentions and goodwill, we keep on putting in place strategies that don’t work. Perhaps they did work in the past, or perhaps they’ve worked for others. Nevertheless, despite not having the good results, we keep doing the same thing over and over. These are called “Attempted Solutions” from a Strategic Brief Therapy approach. So to speak, what you have been doing so far to make you feel better, and it hasn’t worked. It is important to identify what your attempted solutions are, because if you want to feel different, then you should be changing something. I have been a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist for over 10 years and I have seen people recovering from panic attacks, phobias, OCD, health anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, binge-eating, vomiting, and many other conditions. I have also worked with people suffering from psychosis in an inpatient setting. My main approach is Strategic Brief Therapy, however I also work with CBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. If you believe you could help me to help you, we can go together through finding out what is what is causing you distress; we will find out together what your attempted solutions are, and we can find together new strategies to put in place in order to change what isn’t working. “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”, Marcel Proust

Most people feel anxious, stressed or low at some point in their lives but often try to struggle through on their own. During this Covid crisis, anxiety and stress regarding health, finances, concern for friends and family can feel overwhelming. Being socially isolated and not knowing when things will get back to normal is difficult and many people feel low at this time. I understand how daunting it can be to seek professional advice but I have successfully helped many people with a wide variety of problems.

Overwhelmed and finding it difficult to move forward in life? I offer space to explore your personal and interpersonal experiences to help you find a way to live happily and meaningfully.

Have you been feeling anxious or depressed and are you looking to make positive changes in your life? If so, I believe that we can work together to help you address your difficulties in the most effective and compassionate way.

I’m an experienced counsellor and would like to support you. Counselling’s for everyone, whether you feel anxious, lost, low or depressed. Whether you’re worried you’ve not enough to say, or don’t know where to start, fear feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or want to disclose something for the first time. You are the biggest expert in yourself, so I will not try to ‘fix’ you. Instead we can work together in a confidential and non-judgmental space, exploring whatever experiences and emotions you bring, so you may feel empowered to make your own gradual discoveries, navigating your own path to change. I am extremely passionate about the potential counselling has to transform lives. I will aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you to give you a sense of security, safety and trust in me, and in the counselling process. We can then try to work towards realistic goals, so that eventually you may no longer need my support to continue with your own personal development Counselling can feel scary, challenging, tiring and confronting, but it can also feel exhilarating, surprising, liberating, hugely rewarding and life-changing. Counselling is your space, and I aim to be guided by you, giving you time to talk, think, feel and process. One of the things that makes counselling so special is that we rarely get this kind of self-dedicated space in our busy daily lives. As a psychodynamic counsellor, I concentrate on how past relationships and experiences can influence people throughout their lives emotionally, relationally, personally, practically and professionally. By unearthing and exploring these links and patterns I believe I can help you to understand, overcome or change your current difficulties.

Therapy, in my view, is a safe place where you can come with any question about yourself and your way of dealing with the world and your life. You can experiment with new behaviour and try out new ways of thinking. You'll be surprised at how much can be changed and how much can be so much better than it has been been before. Things that don't really work for you, but that you have gotten used to don't need to stay as they are. I tailor my sessions to your learning style so you can get the most out of them with the least effort.

I'm an experienced CBT therapist and Chartered Psychologist (BPS) with over 13 years worked since professional qualification. I work with a range of issues, specialising somewhat in occupational and general stress, anxiety disorders and depression, and psychological trauma (especially PTSD). My previous roles have spanned therapeutic, lecturing, management, and research posts - meaning that I bring a focus to working with clients based on research-informed practice - and rigorous professional and ethical standards. I have also worked online with clients for a number of years and have previously managed an online mental health organisation. Though CBT is my main therapeutic approach of choice, my original training was in person-centred therapy. I view therapy as most likely to succeed when a solid therapeutic relationship is developed - trust, acceptance of my clients, and regarding them positively regardless of their difficulties is important to me. In my spare time, I volunteer for an ambulance service and also serve as an army reservist.

Feelings of anxiety and depression are incredibly hard to experience in day to day life. I am a fully accredited cognitive behavioural therapist who can support you in achieving improved mental health and well-being.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Difficulties with our mental health affects so many of us in our lives. If you can identify with feeling this way I hope to be able to help. I specialise in a type of therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT for short.

Struggles with anxiety, low mood or traumatic experiences can have a significant impact on the daily functioning. My great passion is bringing improvements and facilitate changes to people who have been struggling with severe life stressors. I help my clients, who include children, adolescents and adults to identify and understand their difficulties, find healthy perceptions of themselves and to increase their self-esteem and self-confidence. I would describe my approach as goal oriented and client centred. I use Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy which usually involves understanding and making changes to the thinking patterns and behaviours. The anxious, depressive and stressful thoughts are replaced to think and feel better by identifying, challenging, disputing and replacing the unhelpful thinking patterns. I have a master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy. I would describe myself as down-to-earth and open-minded. I understand that seeking help and working with painful difficulties can be very challenging and requires establishing a trusting and an emotional supportive relationship. I truly believe that everyone deserves to be understood, heard and supported while working towards becoming their best selves. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you and facilitate change, as it is possible! I look forward to working with you!

During this process we explore together the problems that are affecting your life.It is a unique opportunity to bring awareness and clarity to what is happening, to understand negative patterns and beliefs, and to discover your true thoughts and feelings. In seeing yourself from a clearer perspective, different options and choices become available that enrich rather than limit life, giving a sense of achievement and fulfilment. You don't have to be defined by your past, therapy can set you free. Only you have the answers, but maybe I can help you find them
