We are all unique. Our experiences make us who we are but sometimes our experiences can stop us leading fulfilling lives. Warm, accepting and compassionate therapy can support us to move forward, freeing our minds and healing our souls.

Many of us experience Anxiety and Depression. Whilst medication can help research shows that therapy or the combination of medication and therapy is very effective in addressing these feelings. Sometimes clients also have issues with Addiction or OCD. I provide a safe and nurturing environment in which clients are able to share their life circumstances however complex. Frequently clients will feel stuck, and have no faith in their ability to bring about change. The therapeutic process allows clients to regain control and empowers them to take steps forward, to reconnect with the self they know they can be.

Many people who experience Trauma or Adversity in childhood find they have difficulties in their adult lives. I work sensitively to support clients to develop a compassionate understanding of themselves and their experiences.  Using my knowledge of trauma and attachment I am able to help clients to grow, often working towards personal goals and milestones. Whilst this work can be challenging it is enormously rewarding. Clients frequently say that they make far greater progress than they believed possible.

Most of us will experience Bereavement at some point in our lives. Bereavement is a natural experience but can be very difficult to live through. Grief is a powerful and unpredictable emotion. Others may expect you to behave in a certain way. Therapy provides you with a safe, warm and accepting environment for you to be yourself.

The modern working environment can be a stressful and difficult place to be. Many of us suffer in silence with work related stress, fearing the reaction if our colleagues and mangers found out how we feel. Confidential therapy will support you to work with these complex situations.

As a former manager and senior leader in education I understand these pressures. I provide a safe place for you to work through issues, supporting you to develop a compassionate understanding of your situation. Working therapeutically we can build inner strength, helping you re-engage positively with your life.
