 We all have those difficult periods in life when a little extra help can make all the difference. I offer an objective ear, allowing you to get things off your chest, as well as practical solutions and support. Or perhaps you would like to work on your own personal development. Areas of particular interest...  Working as a carer for many years has given me a lot of valuable, grass-roots experience in caring for people with long-term and terminal illnesses, and also in supporting their families. I feel I can offer insight and a genuine understanding of the changes that illness brings into the life of the people affected, as well as to their loved-ones.ASD/autism/Asperger Syndrome/ADHD/neurodivergence and other special needs can be challenging. I have a lifetime's experience with neurodivergent family members and can offer an understanding and insight into what makes up neurodivergence. I work with... Individual adults and teens over 16 years of age. I do not offer couples counselling. Sliding scale of fees. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Imagine the relief of talking to someone who is impartial, completely confidential, discreet, professional and caring.                                           There is no shame in seeking help, only relief...

There are so many therapists and types of therapy, it’s hard to know which will suit you best. Taking the first step on the therapeutic journey is a brave one. Taken together with your therapist, this journey should leave you feeling empowered to manage whatever life throws at you. I work with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, loss, self-harm, suicidal ideation, work-life balance, self-worth, relationship issues, sexuality issues, LGBTQI+ friendly and trauma (both PTSD and Complex PTSD). I have personal and professional experience in a variety of pregnancy-related issues including birth trauma and matresence (the transition to motherhood), pre and support, fertility issues, adoption, post-natal depression, and miscarriage. I have a particular interest in childhood emotional neglect and developmental trauma. With the right support, deep wounds from childhood can be healed. I provide professional, warm and respectful support for individuals 18 years and over through one-to-one sessions. I am also available for online sessions. I work from a humanistic, integrative, psychodynamic, CBT, person-centred, psychoeducational perspective. So what does that mean? Well no two people are the same so I use different approaches depending on each client and their personal needs. The foundation
