I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and suffering following a traumatic experience.  I offer in-person sessions in Morpeth, Jesmond and online.

 

I am here to help you explore and understand who you are, your relationships, your problems and your life. I became a therapist because I have always been interested in listening to people and hearing their stories. 

​

My therapeutic style is about prioritising your wellbeing, self-discovery and growth. I believe that by better understanding ourselves and our actions, we can move towards healing. The relationship formed between the client and their therapist, is the most important part of therapy and I will work to make sure that the process is collaborative and, when needed, challenging.

​

My integrative approach is tailored to your needs and includes practical coping strategies, talking to help make sense of things and creative methods such as guided imagery. I understand how hard it can be to come to therapy for the first time; we are often worried about being judged and can feel that our worries and feelings are not as important as those around us.  

​

It is natural to feel nervous, anxious and scared about starting your therapy journey.  I have been where you are now and making that phone call or sending an email is the hardest step.  ​

 

If this sounds like you, please get in touch for a free 15 minute phone consultation.​

 

I was a teacher for over 20 years, and I left education to pursue a career in psychotherapy because I have always been interested in listening to people and hearing their stories. Psychotherapy offers people a safe space to express their thoughts and feeling without judgement.  My work supports healing and growth, empowering people to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and hope.
