Do you ever get the feeling that something just isn't quite right,  but you can't put your finger on it? Do you find yourself more and more often retreating to be by yourself?   Maybe you find yourself  overwhelmed by distorted and often unhelpful ways of thinking. Are you  behaving in ways that seem out of character or self-sabotaging which can  sometimes lead to:

  • Depression
  • Prolonged periods of unexplained sadness & low mood
  • Anxiety
  • Relationship Difficulties
  • Anger Issues
  • Impacting work, social, family, school life
  • Lack of self-esteem and self-belief
  • Breakdowns
  • Isolation
  • Suicidal Ideation & Self Harm
  • Obsessive & Compulsive Behaviours or thoughts.
  • Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating 


Perhaps you have experienced or are currently going through something  life changing and you are unsure how to cope or come to terms  with it.

If any of these things resonate with you; counselling can help.


The reason why I have decided to dedicate my life to helping others is because I have experienced first hand how therapy can transform lives.  For me it was about identifying unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving; ways that were stopping me from achieving my potential in life.  It helped me to label the things that were getting in the way of enjoying my life and feeling good about myself.  Through counselling & psychotherapy I was able to improve my sense of self worth; I was able to look internally rather than externally for approval and validation.


My counselling practice is underpinned by my belief that all people are ultimately good and that we all have the innate drive and desire to fulfil our talents and potentials.  My role as your counsellor & psychotherapist would be to give you the unconditional support to allow you to safely explore your needs and your wishes.  My role as your counsellor is to help you reach your full potential.  

Other Areas of Interest

Other areas of interest are Neurodiversity; individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.  I have had successful outcomes helping neuro-diverse individuals find and develop coping strategies for sometimes debilitating levels of anxiety. 

I am also interested and have completed very intense and in-depth training in Eating Disorders.
