Do you want relief from stress and anxiety? To perhaps learn some coping mechanisms? To understand the psychological processes that drive your emotions?

Do you need an outside objective perspective on your life to get more out of it? To understand why you behave a certain way? Why others behave a certain way with you?

Are you struggling to juggle the balls of one or more physical long-term health condition(s), work and the rest of your life?

Are you dealing with a sense of loss - of a person, of your health, of something loved? Do you need help to deal with that grief, the gap remaining, the sense of lostness that can remain?

Do you perhaps need help with managing difficult relationships? or understanding how to have healthier ones?

Do you despair of ever feeling content or happy again? Or just to feel actively happy rather than a state of plain neutral?

Or do you want to undertake some personal development, to have someone's support as you tread through life's corridors?

I can help you to experience less stress, understand more, and be more in control of your life.

I  offer a road-map towards better health (mental and therefore physical) and a stronger sense of wellbeing using a range of holistic and creative tools such as conversation, art, archetype cards, visualisation, meditation and more.

The three pillars to your work with me will be self-exploration, self-understanding and self-care.

I am client centred in putting you at the heart of the work, being led by you and your goals. I work at your pace, preferring to accommodate you the person rather than try to make you fit a particular model. I want to see you succeed in your life, and that is what drives my work.

I hold an MA in Child, Adolescent & Family therapy; a Diploma in Coaching; a Diploma in Supervision and an MA in Creative Writing. I am BACP Accredited.

I have worked within CAMHS for 8 years and in the wider NHS for over 12 (including adult eating disorders team). I also provide mental health consultations for professionals struggling to understand client behaviours. I have worked in a range of charities helping adults with a range of emotional difficulties.

I have a special interest in supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who are juggling their conditions, their working lives and the rest of their life .

I am also keen to support women undergoing life transitions (employment to business or vice versa, menopause, wellness to ill health, facing mortality, divorce, etc).

I also enjoy working with people wanting to undertake personal development and growth.

I will consider working with most issues.

Face to face sessions are available and online sessions are delivered by Skype, zoom or MS Teams for your convenience. Day appointments are available.

I do offer a 15min consultation - phone or video - to see if we feel we connect enough and feel comfortable enough together to undertake the work.

In our initial full session we will undertake an assessment, to start talking about what you want to achieve in the work and for the work to start. All sessions are 50 minutes face to face / video time.

I work in a fluid, client-focused / led way, as I believe that the right things will be addressed at the right time and have observed in past work, that there is a circular pattern to issues surfacing.

I am passionate about connecting with the humanity of each person as I feel that this aspect often gets missed in today's fast paced, results driven society.

I provide a calm, contained space aimed at bringing down the energy levels so that we can examine what needs to emerge.

I do accept referrals from private health insurance companies.
