About me
I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist based in Central England. Anxiety and depression change the way we see ourselves. I recognise the hopelessness we may feel when we think we have little value to give anymore and offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore those feelings. I also work in couples counselling to explore what is leading to a breakdown in that relationship and have worked extensively in the field of grief and cancer diagnosis.
Navigating our way through life is not always plain sailing, and at times, we may turn to unhelpful and self-destructive ways to see us through. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, shopping, surgery or unhealthy relationships, we are trying to cope with deep unhappiness in the best way we can. As we get older, those feelings and addictive behaviours can get stronger and take us to dark places. Talking about what we are going through is the first step to breaking free and finding healthier ways of coping.

Approach
I take a Humanistic and Relational approach to therapy believing that the therapeutic relationship is key to discovering, and believing that we can change dysfunctional, and often destructive, ways of being. Through exploring the experience of our past we can choose how to live our lives to the fullest in the present; I seek to get to know you and together we can find what you can leave behind and what you can build on.
