About me and my therapy practice
I believe that we are all capable of living life to the fullest, but sometimes life presents us with hurt or difficult challenges which can lead to confusion, anxiety and unhappiness. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of loss or have fears or phobias or you may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships. You may have difficult changes that you need to make and find you are struggling to make decisions. You may be struggling with low self-esteem or confidence and find it difficult to motivate yourself.
I will support you to help you understand your thoughts and feelings and explore options to find new ways to cope so that you feel more positive about the future. This might mean looking at past hurt and difficulties or it may focus on what is causing you difficulty in the present.
I am an Integrative psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist, which means that I will work creatively and flexibly to suit your needs. I can work with you on a long or short term basis, supporting you to make any important changes you want to make as well as help you to deal with any past difficulties or traumas.
I hold qualifications in Adult and Child Counselling and work both in private practice and NHS as well as mental health charities including Anxiety UK.
Practice description
Making a positive difference to the lives of others is important to me. I am warm, compassionate and feel privileged to be able to help and see the improvements you will make through your therapy.
The counselling sessions will provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your feelings and difficulties. I will provide you with a supportive, friendly and non-judgmental relationship, where you feel that I am alongside you on your journey through your difficulties. We will work together will help you to identify new perspectives and gain a greater understanding of yourself, help you to gain confidence and strength and to feel more positive about the future. I will help you to navigate any difficult changes you need to make, so that you can be more fulfilled and positive.
Using hypnotherapy is a tool that may be used to treat many issues such as reducing anxiety, reducing fears, phobias, improving self-esteem, building confidence and motivation. It can be used to complement the counselling process, calming the subconscious mind, so that you feel more in control and at ease.
