Challenge the Stresses of Life

about me.

I offer therapy in a safe environment, providing confidential, non-judgemental support to help you explore the difficulties that have led you to seek help. I strive to build a supportive and trusting relationship through listening and talking, to work through issues that may be upsetting you. We will explore these problems together and find ways to manage feelings that may overwhelm you, challenge self defeating behaviour, identify goals and increase motivation to change, through sessions tailor made to meet your needs. 

I specialise in working with emotional difficulties such as relationship issues, loss (of others, of relationships and of self), trauma, emotional avoidance or codependency, anxiety, depression, shame, self esteem issues and addictions. I aim to build a strong sense of self, good self esteem, healthy relationships with others, but most importantly a healthy relationship with yourself.

Personal and professional integrity is extremely important to me and I strive to ensure this informs everything I do. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their code of ethics.

I am also a qualified life coach and have worked with many clients who feel stuck to identify their goals and map out a plan to attain them.
My personal journey has also informed my work. After completing my degree in psychology, I began a career as a public relations executive within the music industry. After 10 years working at record labels, I set up my own independent music PR agency, which I ran for 18 years. My job involved working closely with artists and bands, their management, record labels and the media.

The stress of a highly demanding job took its toll on both my own well being and my relationships, so I sought help through my own personal therapy. This had such a profound impact on my life that I decided to retrain a psychotherapist. I still work within the music industry but as a therapist working with artists and industry professionals.
