Therapy can take you on the road to become the best and healthiest version of yourself.

 

 

 

I am a highly skilled therapist, working with clients who experience a variety of mental health issues. I offer sessions online or home visits.

Therapy and Counselling

I provide a safe and supportive space, where you will to be able to explore your thoughts, feelings and express your fears or hidden desires without feeling judged or criticised.

​Therapy is a time for you to bring worries and/or concerns you may have; no issues are too big or small. Together we can explore how these issues effect your life and how you might change the way you think about them; how you can live with them but not be affected by them.​

Therapy can improve and increase your self-awareness, your autonomy as well as help you to live a more fulfilling, authentic and meaningful life.​ I believe that the key to good and productive therapy is in the relationship between client and the therapist.

Our work is confidential and can be agreed short-term or open ended. Call or email me to arrange a FREE 20 mins initial consultation session where we can get to know each other and you can ask as many questions as you like regarding therapy, fees and appointments.

Aim and Approach

Our sessions together are an opportunity, through exploration, to try and understand why you might be feeling the way you do. Through discussion, normalisation and reflection you can increase your self-understanding, to feel clearer, more confident and able to discover a new way of being that feels right to you.

My approach is Existential Analytic.

One of the advantages of this approach is that it tells us not what to think but rather how to explore and understand why we think and experience the way we do. I offer you a unique environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, desires and dislikes. 

By having open and frank conversations, we can begin to understand how you view yourself and others in the world. It is not for me to tell you what you should think but rather, explore and understand with you, why you think and experience the way you do.

The process of therapy is conversational and experimental.

During our sessions you will explore how you represent the world to yourself, whether you do this consciously or not.  You may explore and try out different ways of seeing the world and how to live within it, with no suggestion that any particular way is the ‘correct’ one.  This may lead to you making small changes in your behaviour or it might mean that you completely rethink your values, beliefs and identity.

About Me

My training is in Existential-Analytic psychotherapy and I am working towards UKCP accreditation at the Southern Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling. I combined working in my private practice with a charity counselling organisation.
I have many years’ experiences of working with women who suffer with problems such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship and sexuality issues. I have a good understanding for different religion and cultures and how these can influence a person’s worldview.  I create a warm and welcoming space without gimmicks or pretenses.
