A space that feels safe
Confidential, without judgement, and at your pace. Nothing you bring is too small or too complex.
Counselling & Psychotherapy · Crowthorne, Berkshire
Supporting individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change through personalised, integrative counselling in a safe and confidential space.
Welcome
Counselling is a chance to step out of the noise of everyday life and really look at what is going on for you, past and present, with someone who is on your side.
Whether you are wrestling with something specific or carrying a quieter sense that things could be better, you are welcome here. Sessions are confidential, unhurried and shaped around you.
“ Mental illness is no myth. Nelson Mandela
My approach
I draw on more than two decades of practice and a range of therapeutic models, so the work fits the person in the room, not the other way around.
Confidential, without judgement, and at your pace. Nothing you bring is too small or too complex.
We look at the threads from earlier life that still pull at you today, so you can choose what to keep and what to let go.
Insight matters, but so does what changes on Monday morning. We work toward both.
You set the direction. I bring training, experience and warmth, and we check in together as we go.
About me
Counsellor & Psychotherapist · BSc (Hons) Psychology · Dip.Couns. · MBACP (Accred) · GBMPsS
I have spent more than 25 years working with hundreds of people from every walk of life including individuals and couples, executives and students, helping and supporting people make sense of themselves and their world.
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I trained as an integrative counsellor (Level 4 CPCAB), which means I bring together different approaches to suit you, rather than fit you to one model.
What I help with
A few of the areas clients come to me with. If what you are facing isn't listed here, please still get in touch. I may still be able to help and support you.
Depression, anxiety, stress, GAD, OCD, social anxiety, panic. Finding ground again.
Processing difficult experiences, past or recent, at a pace your nervous system can hold.
Communication, conflict, separation, divorce, infidelity, and rebuilding trust.
Support around ADHD, ASD, BPD and Dyslexia. Making sense of yourself with compassion.
Alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography, shopping, internet. Without shame, with structure.
Confidence, self worth, people pleasing, finding your own voice.
Grief in all its shapes, including the losses that don't have a name.
Understanding what sits underneath anger, and finding new ways to meet it.
Couples counselling
Relationships are central to our well being. They make us feel we belong, and they shape how we feel about ourselves. When money, work, family, health or simply the wear of life put pressure on, things can start to fray: bickering, drifting apart, communication breaking down, intimacy fading.
Couples counselling offers a safe place for both of you to share, talk and explore what is happening, together. We work on understanding, communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding friendship and connection.
“I believe it is possible to learn together new, more positive ways to relate and love each other, in ways that last and allow the relationship to grow in healthier ways.”
In clients words
You've helped me make really amazing progress, more than I ever had with other therapists.
I have achieved so much with your guidance. I can now understand and ‘see’ things properly.
With your support I was able to close the door on my past and arrive at a better place.
A great therapist who is so experienced. A lovely lady.
I'm not sure how I would have achieved what I have without your fantastic support.
Highly recommended. Very professional and highly qualified.
