Hello, thank you for visiting my site, I hope I can help you find what you are looking for. I help people with anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, co-dependency, narcissism / narcissitic traits, people pleasing, OCD, family, relationship and friendship problems. I am a specialised Trauma Therapist.
Whatever difficulties you have, it often means pain in some way. When things are painful, we sometimes would rather not deal with them, unless they get so bad that we can't ignore them anymore. Counselling isn’t just something people do when they are in crisis or at rock bottom. Coming to counselling before problems snowball or get too overwhelming can be so helpful and can potentially save more pain in the long run.
As an integrative therapist I have trained in many areas of counselling and psychotherapy so the sessions will be individual to you and what you want. I am also a supervisor and counsellor of other counsellors and trainees. In addition to my qualifications and training I have worked for several years in private practice and have worked in schools, community projects and well-respected NHS funded charities.
If you don't have much hope, I can hold that for you too as I have seen what is possible, not only with my own personal therapy experience but with the many clients I have worked with. We start from wherever you are at and can work as quickly or slowly as you want.
I work flexibly with clients, weekly, fortnightly, or even one offs, daytimes, evenings and weekends, some clients work on a short-term basis with me and others I have worked with for years.
​
If you are not sure whether you are ready for counselling you might want to join Haven Therapy Hub on Facebook where I set personal development missions and challenges.
If you connect with anything I have said and I look like someone you could work with then get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
