Your Way Forward

Perhaps you have been coping for a long time. You may look as though you are managing well, while inside you feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted or simply unsure what to do next.

Perhaps something has happened that you cannot quite get past. Or you may have spent years trying to understand yourself, your relationships or why certain things seem much harder for you than they do for other people.

You may even have reached the point where you think, “I’ve tried everything. Why am I still struggling?”

You don't have to work it all out on your own.

​

A place where you can finally feel understood

I offer a warm, thoughtful and individual approach to counselling and psychotherapy. Together, we explore what is happening for you, make sense of your experiences and find ways forward that genuinely fit who you are.

There is no expectation that you should already know exactly what you need from therapy. You don't need to have a diagnosis, a clear explanation or even the right words. You can simply start with what is troubling you now.

For some people, one or a few sessions can bring valuable clarity and a different perspective. For others, having a regular space to work through deeper or longer-standing difficulties can lead to more lasting change.

​

When you feel different from other people

I have a particular interest in working with people who have always felt that they are somehow different, unusually sensitive or difficult to understand.

This includes highly gifted and neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, as well as people who identify as highly sensitive.

You may have spent years adapting yourself to fit in, being told that you are “too sensitive”, “too much”, “overthinking” or simply “odd”. Perhaps your strengths have been overlooked because other people only see the difficulties.

I also work with people adjusting to acquired neurological differences, including dementia and functional neurological disorders.

​

Trauma and difficult experiences

If you have experienced trauma or an event that continues to affect you, I offer EMDR alongside other therapeutic approaches where appropriate. EMDR can be an effective way of processing distressing experiences and reducing the impact they continue to have on your life.

We will always work at a pace that feels safe for you.

​

Qualified, experienced and genuinely collaborative

I am a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and am undertaking further psychotherapy training with UKCP.

Most importantly, therapy is a collaboration. I won't tell you what you should do or try to fit you into a standard programme. We will work together to understand what you need and find an approach that makes sense for you.

You can choose from in-person, online, telephone or Walk and Talk sessions.

​

You don't have to wait until things get worse.

If something in your life isn't working, if you feel stuck, or if you simply want to understand yourself better, counselling could be the beginning of something different.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you make an appointment.

You can simply get in touch and tell me a little about what is bringing you to therapy. We can then decide together whether I am the right person to help.

I'd be very happy to hear from you.
