About me and my therapy practice

My practice specialises in all forms of high anxiety; stress; complex trauma; childhood sexual abuse; and relationships.

I have previously worked for Sexual Abuse/Rape organisation; a Christian Counselling Service; Mental Health charity; Male Rape/Abuse organisation and as a college counsellor.

Originally, I trained as Childhood Sexual Abuse/Rape counsellor setting up my private practice over 15 years ago. I have extended my intensive training into Complex Trauma/Abuse after working with both short/term clients using body psychotherapy. 

I have continued to focus on applying my in depth knowledge and experience to Relationship Therapy for many years, to assist couples who are "stuck" or are in a crisis. I specialise working with clients who have a form of learning disability or autism and request onsite visits due to their circumstances due to limited mobility.

Making time for yourself with family and work commitments is difficult, but unless you pay attention to your health as time goes on these slow issues at some stage result in a a crisis.

Sometimes it is easier to manage other people that it is to manage your self... fear is always greater than the reality, you do not need to rob yourself of a better future.

Wellbeing Session. Maintenance for the Mind, Body & Spirit to remain calm and balanced during stressful periods.

Relationship issues (conflict/intimacy,  abandonment by a partner), which has left a person with low self confidence in trying to trust people in relationships again. Partnerships where dismissive issues exist with a lack of respect of their partners emotional wellbeing and can lead to ongoing issues about being understood or unseen. The deterioration of a relationship as it collapses can lead to one partner withdrawing emotionally or infrequently becoming absent with the relationship and the family over time. There is always potential to change if both partners are willing to work at their relationship.
