Be present. Open up. Do what matters.
Why Counselling/Psychotherapy?
We are all affected by hardship at some point in our lives. It can feel as though we're focused solely on survival, leaving us with little or no energy for things that bring us fulfilment, meaning and purpose.
Although contacting a mental health professional can be daunting and confusing, reaching out for help is a courageous first step in transforming your life for the better. By getting in touch, you are making your first step towards moving forward and writing your new story.
To this end, therapy provides a safe, warm space to explore problems and develop practical solutions, helping you reclaim authorship of your life. Indeed, as we embark on your counselling journey, we open up to a range of possibilities.
One-to-one counselling and psychotherapy.
Email or call to book an appointment for a free 30-minute consultation. They are available online and in person in Mansfield and Nottingham.
Psychotherapy based on kindness, compassion, hope, and practical solutions.
What do I offer?
My counselling modality combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the person-centred approach. In line with providing ethical and high-quality service, my therapeutic model is evidence-based and evolves with ongoing research.
I work in Mansfield, Nottingham, and online. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, much of my work has shifted to telehealth, enabling me to reach clients across the UK. In-person appointments are now available from Monday to Saturday.
Regardless of your current story, if you're struggling with your mental health and you're unsure of a way forward, with your time mostly focused on just getting through the day, I will help you embark on a new path through a combination of detailed exploration and practical, tailored intervention.
My practice is emphatically LGBTQ+ affirming and sex-positive.
My role as a counselling practitioner is to help you identify what matters most to you and, once clarified, equip you with a set of psychological skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings and live life based on your most cherished values.
You're very likely to leave the process with a clear sense of what a vital, fulfilling life looks like to you. We are all different, wonderful in our own way, and no one formula can capture the enormous complexity and diversity of our humanity, which is something to be affirmed and celebrated. Your irreproducible uniqueness, and allowing it to shine, stands at the forefront of the entire process.
Ultimately, my role as a counsellor will be to create a supportive space defined by warmth, unconditional respect and empathy that helps you gently navigate difficult experiences, whatever they may be, and embody and realise your true self in the world.
