‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’
The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for. I will not judge or critique you, tell you what to do, think or say, or who you should be. I will always meet you with unconditional positive regard, helping you to explore and navigate towards new insights and perspectives which can bring about a better way of relating to yourself, others or situations which you may find challenging.

My practice is guided by over 20 years of helping people in difficult and often stressful situations. I have worked operationally in the Armed Forces; NHS; Police; and RNLI; as well as teaching in schools and a university. I bring the empathy, training and skills acquired from this extensive experience into my counselling.
Specialising in CBT, ADHD Support and Couples Therapy, I am able to assist with a broad range of individual and relational issues, including Anxiety and Phobias; Depression, Abuse and Trauma; Communication and Conflict Patterns.
I have significant experience of working with neurodiversity (particularly ADHD), understanding the challenges this can bring to our closest relationships, self-esteem, work and family life.

We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.

Sessions usually take place on the beautiful Cannock Chase, 2684 hectares of coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, in Staffordshire, England. I typically use principles from compassion focussed therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, solution focussed therapy and mindfulness. I offer a free telephone appointment to find out if this is the right approach for you.

As a chartered psychologist with extensive psychotherapy training, I know the right questions to ask, to listen to what makes you who you are, to appropriately challenge you and then to develop a way of working that will help you to achieve your therapy goals. I will use techniques adapted to you, to help you to better understand what is happening for you. We can then explore what has been blocking you from leading the life you want to lead, and aid you in developing the insight / coping skills to let you lead that life. Coming to this website you have made the first step. Make the second by booking a free initial consultation through my website.

I provide short-term solution-focused therapy and long-term psychotherapy. I have been working with a wide range of issues including panic attacks and anxiety, bereavement, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, sexuality, depression and loss of meaning, for over 25 years. Drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy, humanistic/person centred, psychodynamic, brief solution-focused therapy and existential approaches, I adapt the theory to each individual client. My aim is to clarify those aspects of your life that cause distress, confusion or anger and lead to feeling stuck, blocked, unfulfilled and desperate. Through exploration and clarification we can explore options and choices and come to terms with our issues.
