Phoenix Counselling & Therapy Service

Taking the first step towards emotional well-being can feel daunting, especially when faced with the pain and complexity of trauma or unresolved childhood experiences. As a client-centred therapist with 20 years of experience working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I am committed to placing you at the very centre of your healing journey. Your needs, your pace, and your story shape our work together. The client-centred model of therapy means that I am led by you—offering support and understanding as you explore yourself, life transitions, and the challenges that arise from early childhood experiences. I recognise how these experiences can deeply influence how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we move through the world. Sometimes, these patterns lead to mental health difficulties, self-doubt, and emotional distress. Healing begins with awareness. Together, we can gently examine the impact of your past and present experiences, always working at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, aiming to create a supportive environment where you can understand yourself more fully and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of living. Life’s transitions—such as entering adulthood, experiencing loss, or navigating relationship changes—can cause our emotions to fluctuate and sometimes overwhelm us. If you are considering taking the next step towards understanding your emotional life and fostering self-development, I invite you to reach out. Whether you prefer a call or an email, your enquiry is welcome, and together we can explore how therapy might support your unique journey.

How I work

With two decades of experience addressing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I recognize how challenging it can be to grasp the effects that past traumas have on our everyday lives. My work also examines the influence of both early childhood and adult experiences on our conditioning, exploring how these shape our self-perception and the ways we live according to learned patterns.
