Here to help
The issues you might be facing
There are many different reasons for people seeking therapy. You may be experiencing difficulties associated with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, stress, infertility, post-natal depression and menopause. You may feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed by past or present events. You may feel that you’re trapped in the same unfulfilling relationships or patterns. You may not know what you need help with but feel that something needs to change. If you are struggling in any of these areas, I can help.
ANXIETY
I can help you with Generalized anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social anxiety disorder (SAD) or social phobia, health anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia and phobias.
Depression and suicidal thoughts
We all experience low mood from time to time but it can become problematic if it becomes persistent and lasts for weeks or months. I can help you find joy in your life again.
Low self-esteem
Self-esteem is the overall opinion we have of ourselves. If you have low self-esteem you may believe you are ‘not good enough’, ‘inadequate’, ‘unlovable’, or a ‘bad’ person, for example.
Trauma
Whether you have experienced multiple layers of trauma over a sustained period of time or a single traumatic event, I can help you to process your experience, heal and move forwards.
Stress
We cannot eradicate all stress from our lives but I can equip you with coping skills and strategies to help you manage stress and restore some balance and harmony in your life.
Infertility, Miscarriages, and Donor conception
If you have had unsuccessful fertility treatment, suffered a miscarriage or are considering donor conception, I am here to help you make sense of your experience, process painful feelings and move forward.
Post-natal Depression
I offer a nurturing therapeutic space to help you make sense of your experience of becoming a mother or a father and to help you find joy in your life again.
Menopause
The menopause, peri-menopause and early menopause can be a big adjustment and I offer an empathic space to help support you during this challenging life stage.

HOW CAN I HELP?
A Bespoke Treatment Plan For You
As a Counselling Psychologist, I integrate aspects of more than one model of psychological theory. I draw on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic theory and mentalization based therapy (MBT), and the type of psychotherapeutic interventions I use, depends on the ‘problem area’ you bring and how you would like us to address it. We can discuss what these therapeutic approaches mean, the differences between them and the type(s) that might be most suitable for you when we meet and you can click here to find out a bit more about the different therapeutic models I use. The important thing to remember is that I offer therapy that is tailored to meet your unique, individual needs bearing in mind what has and hasn’t been helpful in the past.
