As a psychotherapist my work may include medium to long term therapy helping those with trauma be it childhood emotional, sexual, physical or verbal abuse, accident, violence, victim of crime, terminal illness and sudden bereavement. Often people suffering from trauma may experience insomnia, anxiety, stress, flashbacks, loss of self esteem and self loathing, feelings of deep sadness, guilt and anger, emotional detachment or self meditating through drugs or alcohol. As an experienced trauma psychotherapist I can help you gently tune in to your bodies natural responses to trauma, responses which you may be totally unaware are happening. Once tuned in you can start to have control over how your body reacts to events and thus control over your thoughts and behaviour. If you have issues regarding PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, generalised anxiety, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar, family difficulties, seasonal affective disorder I may also be able to help you.

My love of animals and nature has led me to explore the ways in which I can include the healing spirit of nature in my work as a counsellor and psychotherapist. For issues which are really difficult to put into words we may work with the creative arts, sand tray, mindfulness and sometimes in the outdoors amongst nature itself. I am happy to work with children, teenagers and adults.
