Are you are feeling anxious, maybe you're frustrated or unhappy with your current life situation. Are you always pleasing others first? I can help you feel less overwhelmed, more in control and help find you again by Being heard and becoming more self-aware. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space, where you can talk about and explore what is going on for you and build ways to cope and change patterns of behaviour or thoughts.

About me:

I work in an integrative way, working with what my clients bring and what they need. I am warm, down to earth and funny but bring a professional approach in my sessions.

I am a firm believer in 'there is no such thing as normal' so I wanted to be honest and tell you a bit about me.

Being a parent of a now adult (child) with multiple complex mental health disorders was tiring, frustrating and lonely as I seemed to be on my own, at times I was expected to know more than the specialists. They were given up on or added to another waiting list. This in itself was overwhelming without managing my daily life and family.

I do set work to do in-between sessions sometimes, using the Betterhelp resources.

My aim is to help you achieve a better way of feeling, managing and reaching goals you may set.

What I specialise in for individuals:

Anxiety: My clients often have anxiety as the core issue and are struggling to manage or cope with this on their own. This includes social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. Some clients have anxiety from using dating apps, starting fresh with someone new or ending something (e.g. relationship, job, moving etc..) and the anxiety that comes with it.

Loss of self: My clients feel lost, not sure what their purpose is anymore. This could be from a career change, relationship ends, children growing up to name a few.. this is a confusing and overwhelming time. I can help, I understand I have been in your shoes.

Relationship problems- keeping a Relationship, leaving a relationship. Problems forming relationships.

I feel I specialise in helping people move forward, set goals, challenge themselves and become more self-aware of who they are.

Clinical Approaches:

Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) , Couples therapy, Integrative therapy to what the client needs.
