I am a qualified integrative therapist working with individuals, couples, and other relationships such as : siblings, families or business partnerships, resolve something. Making the decision to access therapy can be an overwhelming one.

With over 10 years’ experience working in NHS and various charites, I offer a warm and calm approach to help you identify your own strengths, and to empower you to make the right choice in the here and now. It is important for me to help you better understated who you really are, and give you an opportunity to make your own choices, because when “our beliefs change, our behaviour follows”.

I believe that therapy is more effective when the client and therapist set goals together. I will try to help you recognise that we all have the potential to live the life we want, rather than the life we have been taught to live.

Areas of counselling I deal with:

Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, Separatio,n Divorce, Stress, Addiction, Domestic violence, Bereavement, Work-related stress, Relationship issues, Low self-esteem, Anger management.

I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and my approach is integrative, combining various theoretical models such as person centred approach, psychodynamic, or CBT suited to a person’s individual needs. I select therapeutic approaches to fit a client’s preference and the issues encountered, to help the client develop self-understanding. It is a collaborative approach in which we work together to make sense of what is happening in the client’s life and help him or her to gain a deeper understanding of the reasons that have brought them to counselling.

There might be many reasons why people consider psychological therapy. Often these include negative ways of thinking or unhelpful patterns or behaviours that have their origins in childhood and leave the client feeling stuck and unable to move on in their life.

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy depending on the client’s needs and this can be discussed at the initial session.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy you will have an opportunity to confidently talk through problems or situations. I can help you work through personal issues you have been facing. I offer both short-term (focusing on immediate issues) or long-term (delving into more complex problems). The number of sessions and the frequency of appointments depend on the individual’s situation and my recommendations.

Couple & relationship therapy

We all deserve to be happy!!! I provide a carrying, supportive and non-judgmental environment to help my couples and other relationships identify the issues or problems they are facing in relationship. For some couples and relationships therapy is the start of a discovery, while for some may be what they need to move through a rough patch. I try help my clients communicate more effectively to reach their own conclusion and to help them understand the other’s needs.
