About me and my therapy practice

Life can be difficult and painful at times and we could all benefit from a safe space to make sense of and process difficult emotions, develop our resilience and coping strategies.  

I am a qualified CBT Counsellor but can also call upon skills and experience I have gained through additional training in clinical hypnotherapy, coaching and person-centred counselling. This training enables me to offer clients a number of different routes into exploring their issues and finding solutions that can help them.

I can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and low self esteem. 

I have considerable experience working with clients struggling with health anxiety. I have also worked with numerous clients struggling with a wide range of phobias and working together we have managed to reduce a debilitating issue to one that no longer has a major impact on a client’s life and general wellbeing.

I am also interested in helping clients resolve relationship issues (personal and professional), and work with clients to establish more healthy boundaries within their relationships.

Whilst our problems can often feel overwhelming and affect every aspect of our lives, the wonderful thing about counselling is that not only does it help to tackle immediate sources of distress, the positive effects can create ripple effects across different aspects of a client's life. Therapy can often alter deep-rooted habits and behaviour, and replace these with new ways of operating which are better for our general health and wellbeing.
