I’m a mother, friend and therapist. I assist people to overcome life’s challenges and difficulties.
My work is inspired by my own journey through parenting, divorce, bereavement, trauma, career transformation and re-invention.
I am fully insured and work with both the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the GHSC (General Hypnotherapy Standards Council). I abide by their codes of conduct and ethics.
My approach to therapy
I use Integrative Psychotherapy, which is a lot more down-to-earth than it sounds!
It’s a combinations of effective therapies – Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy, TFT, NLP, and The Bowen Technique.
Together we will work in a wholly supportive and non-judgmental environment.You may begin to challenge your feelings and the assumptions you make about your life, and gain some clarity about where you are, and where you want to be. I won’t give you advice or tell you what to do; I believe that you are ultimately the expert on your own life. You do not have to be ‘stuck’ the way you are yet change doesn’t just happen – it goes through stages and you usually need support while change is happening.
I offer you a place to offload, to explore your thoughts and feelings and with the chance to see things from new perspectives and angles. It does involve looking at the present problems (what is going on at the moment) and at underlying issues (that may relate to early messages about the world, relationships, and how you ‘should’ be). The aim is for you to understand yourself better, to make changes to your life that are more productive and rewarding, and to help you move towards becoming the kind of person you want to be.
My approach is very flexible and adaptable to each individual. First and foremost, therapy with me is a safe and confidential, I value and regard this very highly and in which you share how you are feeling, and be heard.
