Approach & Specialist Areas:
I provide counselling to meet your individual needs and to help you find your own way of dealing with life’s challenges. Experienced in working with both young people and adults to improve and maintain their mental health, we will work together on the problems that you face to find your own path to positive change and to continue with this after the counselling has ended. I have worked with people from a variety of age groups and backgrounds on many life and mental health issues including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, relationship issues, work-related stress, bereavement, family issues, and self-harm.

Background:
After nearly ten years working in the corporate world, my growing interest in helping people, including myself, with their relationship with themselves and with their mental health led me to pursuing a career as a counsellor. Three years volunteering with the Samaritans had shown me the power of actively listening and being there for someone when they need it most, or when they feel like there’s nobody else that will. I am a Person Centred counsellor which means I believe that therapy takes place when there is an understanding, accepting and genuine relationship that the counsellor has with their client. Under those circumstances, I will help you to find your own way through whatever issues you are facing, without fear of judgement or misunderstanding.

Training & Qualifications:
I have a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling (BACP accredited course) and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have presented a piece of research on anxiety at the BACP Annual Research Conference 2019 and I am also currently undertaking a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice.

Approach & Specialist Areas:
As a psychotherapist and counsellor I am able to offer you a confidential, calm and reflective setting where we can start to make sense of the feelings and thoughts that trouble or concern you. It’s a place where you can explore your hopes and your fears, a time when you can be listened to and understood.
I practise a form of therapy called Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. This therapy is a journey of self-discovery and self-understanding that can bring relief from distress and help you make long lasting and positive change in your life. Drawing on the theories of psychoanalysis and neuroscience it explores how the problems you are struggling with in the present may connect to your past experiences; it looks at the unconscious feelings and thoughts that lie behind your present suffering.
We can find out what is going on for you through our relationship together. As we talk together we’ll start to discover and understand the unhelpful automatic reactions and unconscious patterns which may be undermining your psychological well being. Emotional wounds can be healed and a capacity for change developed. This can free you to resolve your difficulties and find fresh way of approaching life.
I find my work as a therapist exciting and I love to meet different challenges and people from diverse backgrounds. I work across a wide range of issues but also have a particular interest in working with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, identity, intimacy and connection. My background as a musician means that I have a first hand understanding of the specific issues and difficulties faced by those who work in the performing arts.

Background:
I originally trained as a classical musician and spent many years performing professionally with orchestras in the UK and abroad. Alongside this I taught both individuals and groups instructing a number of string ensembles. Having become interested in therapy through my experience in education, I trained for five years at WPF, a specialist psychodynamic therapy institute in London. I have now practised for a number of years with a range of adults treating many psychological and emotional problems.
Institutions that I have worked for include: Westminster Pastoral Foundation, Oxford Women’s Counselling Centre and Cruse Bereavement Care. I currently work in private practice and am an assessor at OWCC.

Training & Qualifications:
Post Graduate Diploma at Masters level in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice (WPF)
Certificate in Counselling Skills (WPF)
Post Graduate Alumna of The Royal College of Music

Approach & Specialist Areas:

My unique coaching style has been developed through training in the areas of both coaching and therapy, with the emphasis on coaching. Being in a leadership position, or the owner of your own business can bring about many challenges. These may be in how you manage and lead your team, how you cope with the stresses and anxiety the position can create as well as balancing the demands of work whilst maintaining a happy and fulfilling personal life. You may want to explore how to communicate to greater effect, struggle with conflict or feel as though you are not in control of certain aspects of your business. You may suffer from ‘Imposter Syndrome’, experiencing unhelpful self-talk and negative thoughts. My coaching will give you both the tools and soft skills you need to support you in these challenges, whilst raising your self-awareness so you can become who you need to be to feel happier and more fulfilled in both your business and your personal life. I am your confidante, sounding board and catalyst for the changes you want to make.

Additionally, you may have members of your team that would benefit from some 1-1 coaching to support their development and performance. You may need some of your management team to be supported with some leadership and coaching skills training.

Background:
In 2006 after feeling jaded with the travel industry, I decided for a complete career change and trained as a business coach with the global franchise ActionCoach. I left the franchise to fly solo in 2009 continuing to coach small business owners as well as executives. I have worked with clients 1-1 as well as with their teams both individually and as groups. I also set up and ran BusinessBuilders in Witney, a successful business coaching group for local business owners. I have also worked with Lloyds bank and Tannoy in Scotland to deliver leadership training and development workshops. In 2022, after 6 years of part-time study I graduated from the Open University with first-class honours in philosophy and psychology, during which time I suffered several personal setbacks. I learned just how much tenacity and persistence I have, which I always bring to my clients in the pursuance of their goals.
