A little about me

As a therapist I understand how debilitating some conditions can be, living with fear and a sense of dread, dealing with unhelpful limiting beliefs, feeling stuck or overwhelmed as it’s a constant struggle to get through the day. 

Life in general is so much harder to deal with and you believe there’s nothing you can do.

​

But I also know how having the chance to explore these challenges in a safe, non-judgemental environment just as you are, to talk things through and process your experiences can have such a massive impact on how you feel and how you see your self and the world around you. So you can figure things out and make sense of it all.  

​

Therapy can help you feel more like yourself and less alone. Giving you more control over your decisions, actions and life by addressing any underlying issues that may be holding you back and preventing you from living the way you want to. Investing in yourself as a priority and taking care of your well-being so you begin to feel and live better and see yourself in a completely different light. 

​

I began my training to become a psychotherapist after my own therapy journey. After many years of experiencing low self-esteem and anxiety, wondering why no matter what I did, I just never felt quite good enough, I had to do something. It was really hard for me to ask for help, it was hard for me to choose a counsellor and it was hard for me to go to that first session. I knew I needed to do something but I wasn't sure what that was but I was willing to give it a go and at first it didn't really feel like it was going to work for me either.

​

However I soon found that the more I talked about what was really going on, the less alone I felt and the more I got to know the real me. Life began to make more sense and I stopped being so hard on myself and worrying about things I had no control over. It made me feel more secure and free to be myself. It took a lot of work and believe me it's not easy at times but I am so glad that I decided I was definitely worth the hard work.

​

Now my aim is to support others so they can make sense of their life and work towards a life of their choosing, not just getting through it the best they can.   

​

I'm a trained and accredited pluralistic psychotherapist and work with adults and children supporting many issues from anxiety to trauma, disorder eating habits to maladaptive coping strategies. Using a variety of different modalities to suit my individual clients and their personal circumstances. I work in an holistic, collaborative way, working together, looking at all aspects of a person’s life and finding the best way to support you to achieve your goals. As I believe we are all different and need different support at different times to get the most out of the therapeutic experience and you will know exactly what works for you and what doesn’t.

​

My modality also includes hypnotherapy which I came across by chance while studying. After seeing how effective hypnotherapy can be using the power of the mind to change mindsets, reframe limiting beliefs and adapt self sabotaging behaviours, I wanted to further my education and incorporate hypnotherapy into my practice to further support my clients.

​

I qualified and trained through an accredited organisation and I am registered with a professional body as an accredited member for both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS and safeguarding certificates which are renewed every 2-3 years. The membership enforces a strict training criteria and code of ethics, including continued professional development each year to renew the membership. ​I also volunteer part time for Cruse bereavement care working with adults who are struggling with grief and loss.  

​

​It’s my passion and privilege to help support others to feel better and live more fulfilling lives that they truly deserve. Whether this is finding and understanding yourself better, working through difficult periods in your life or past traumas or developing better ways to cope when things become unmanageable.

​

I'm here, waiting to hear from you when you are ready.
