SORRY, I CURRENTLY HAVE NO AVAILABILITY
Hello
Whether you are feeling in a desperate place or have a niggling sense that you could be getting more from life, therapy can provide the space you need. I believe in the value of working through your dilemmas, anxieties, low mood, concerns, traumas or loss, within a therapeutic relationship that can offer a real meeting between us as individuals. My aim is to offer a containing but robust space in which you can risk becoming more fully yourself, whatever that may mean to you.
As a therapist I have supported people bringing a wide range of issues including anxiety, panic attacks, stress, depression, bereavement, miscarriage, addiction and recovery, eating disorders, trauma, surviving childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, chronic illness, being a carer, work-place tensions, racism, being biracial, of multiple heritage or 'mixed race', sexuality, parenting dilemmas and relationship issues.

Counselling and therapy with me
You may arrive in therapy wanting to change some aspect of your life or behaviour. Together, we can consider practical strategies and creatively explore what might help, using images, body-mind awareness or, should you wish to, drawing, dreams or writing. We may work on finding meaning in your ‘story’. But people often feedback to me, that having the sense of being really listened to and heard can be an important first stage. To support the process, nurturing kindness and acceptance within ourselves can be key and a good therapeutic relationship can help this develop. We can try to find out what works for you.
If you arrive with a single issue or dilemma you want to work through, we may arrange to work together for a few weeks or months. Otherwise we may agree to work together on an open-ended basis or consider referring you on to a practitioner with different skills.
It's useful to the work if we are 'a good fit'. In fact, research findings rate the quality of the therapeutic relationship as having a significant impact on the effectiveness of the therapy, so I offer a reduced-fee introductory session where you can get a sense of whether my approach feels right for you and I can consider whether I feel I can be of help. Meeting other therapists before you make a decision can be helpful too.
Being alive brings its challenges. Through counselling and psychotherapy, you may come to better manage life and feel more alive to all its possibilities.
