MY APPROACH
We are all influenced by the people in our lives and the experiences we have had both past and present, all of which serve to shape and define us. Sometimes we need help in understanding how the culmination of these factors can get in the way of being able to live life fully and with ease.
Maybe you're looking for relief from the pain of anxiety or depression. You could be struggling with life changes or loss. You may want a better relationship with yourself and/or those closest to you.
I offer a non-judgemental space in which I can help you to explore your feelings, beliefs and patterns of behaviour. We can journey together into your inner world, make sense of your difficulties and create ways of coping, healing and thriving.
I may invite you to think about things differently or offer an alternative perspective. This is always done with an attitude of unconditional acceptance. I bring warmth, empathy and a sense of humour. I can be challenging where necessary whilst being supportive and compassionate.
I work extensively with anxiety, depression, long standing emotional distress and challenging family relationships. I specialise in ADHD, Autism, Alcohol and substance misuse and sexual abuse.
I offer neurodivergent affirming and LGBTQ+affirmative therapy.
I work relationally meaning the quality of the therapeutic relationship we form is extremely important in terms of promoting healing. I am influenced by humanistic, person centred and psychodynamic approaches. This supports a flexible way of working that honours and values client uniqueness. In simple terms, at the core of each approach are the central issues of how we relate, to ourselves, to others, to our past experiences and to our ever evolving sense of self.
Considering the origin and development of distress can be helpful in terms of deciding what can be changed to ease discomfort, equally sometimes focusing on the here and now may be what is needed. I often include psycho-education and tool giving in my work.
My private practice is here: www.thepracticerooms.co.uk.

Addiction, ADHD, autism, anger, anxiety, depression, gender identity, poor body image, post-traumatic stress, relationship issues, sexual abuse, sexuality, trauma.
