You may be here because something in your life isn’t working as it once did, leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself.
This might show up as relationship difficulties, increased alcohol or food use, feeling unable to cope with life events, or experiencing ongoing feelings such as anxiety, anger, resentment, or emptiness. You may also notice the impact of earlier experiences, such as neglect, trauma, shame, or fears of rejection and abandonment.
At its core, this is often about how you have learnt to cope and relate — to yourself and to others.
So the question becomes: are you here because you want things to stay the same, or are you ready for something to change?
Therapy offers you the opportunity to understand these patterns and begin to take different action, so you can feel more in control, more connected, and more able to live your life in a way that feels right for you.
Whether you need counselling or psychotherapy, I work with individuals and couples across the UK from my office on the outskirts of the Surrey Hills. Distance is not an issue if you feel I am the right therapist for you, as we can work online or via the telephone.
Closing thought: change doesn’t happen by chance; it happens when you begin to do something different.
Online therapy
I offer counselling via Zoom, WhatsApp, Signal (and other platforms) and the telephone. I offer individual and relationship / couple / marriage counselling online. Additionally, I offer individual counselling via the phone (personally, I do not believe that couple counselling works this way).Note: I am qualified and registered in the UK and work to UK legislation. If you are in a different country, it will be the country that you are in that governs therapy law. Currently, here in the UK I have a legal responsibility to report terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering yet legal requirements may differ in the country where you are.

Specialisations and Expertises
My specialisms are relationship, loss / bereavement, childhood issues, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and alcohol dependency issues.Most common issues I support people with:
Relationships - from the cradle to the grave we are in relationship with ourselves and others and this can be problematic depending on the coping skills we have learnt ( I work with individuals, couples and twos).
Loss / bereavement - we attach to people and things and then, when something happens to that person or thing, we can experience, loss, grief and mourning. Learning about this natural process is so important as, by knowing that everything has a loss cycle, we learn to re-organise quicker rather than getting stuck in the shoc or protest parts of the cycle (Covid showed us this as many got stuck in loss / protest and some have still not moved to the re-organisation stage!).
Alcohol usage is generally the symptom of a much deeper issue as, like food, it can be used to change the way you feel. So, we explore the cycle of addiction. What is important to know here is that the brain is about survival and utilises substances that had you survive which is why, if this is the one thing you want to not do and keep doing, you have lost choice. If you are of the alcoholic type variety, it may be abstinence is the only way forward, again we can discuss this in session without any shame or blame.
I also counsel other issues that are symptoms of how you have learnt to be in the world, i.e. anxiety, not feeling enough, feeling sad or lonely, abuse, attachment issues, perfectionism, trauma, feeling dissatisfied, estrangement, etc.
