Are you carrying emotional wounds from difficult relationships or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns? These experiences can stem from relationships in childhood or later in life, and may leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Therapy offers a safe space to slow things down, make sense of your emotional experience, and begin reconnecting with yourself. I am an integrative counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I work with adults experiencing relational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the emotional impact of cancer or caregiving. To learn more about how I can support you, please visit my website.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Sessions are guided by what feels most important for you to explore. We might slow down and stay with an emotion as it emerges, notice what you are experiencing in your body, or look more closely at a relationship or situation that is troubling you. With your permission, we might use experiential approaches such as guided imagery, role play, or exploring different parts of yourself to help you connect with and work through emotions and underlying needs. We will always work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
With over 18 years in the NHS as a nurse, I have supported people through some of the most life-changing physical and emotional experiences. This deeply informs my work as a therapist. My background includes NHS Psychological Therapies and private practice, counselling individuals through anxiety, depression, cancer, grief, and trauma. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Complex Trauma, and Somatic Trauma Therapy, which complement my integrative approach. Together, these experiences have shaped how I understand the many different influences on our emotional world.
