About Me

Me (In a Nut Shell)

​

In addition being a Psychotherapist, I am a qualified teacher.  I also spent a number of years working with vulnerable children and families, facilitating parenting courses and therapeutic fostering courses.  I now work solely with adults.

​

Through this work and my own personal experiences, I became more and more interested in Counselling and Psychotherapy and eventually decided to retrain as a Psychotherapist, gaining my Post Graduate and Advanced Diplomas and CTA (Certified Transactional Analyst).  I have a passion for supporting people to realise their true worth and full value, and to become the people they were created to become. 

​

My personal and professional experience has shown me that many things can cause a ‘blip’ in our life journey.  I believe that through working together and building a strong therapeutic relationship we can explore these and find healing and restoration. 

​

Some of the issues with which I work include, but are not limited to:

​

  • grief and loss

  • child bereavement

  • ASD

  • OCD

  • ADHD

  • trauma

  • addiction

  • general bereavement

  • childhood abuse

  • domestic violence

  • infertility

  • miscarriage

  • anxiety

  • fostering

  • anger

  • depression

  • panic attacks

  • anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders

  • borderline personality disorder

  • stress

  • long term illness

​

I have a keen interest in working with 

developmental trauma, childhood abuse and Neurodivergence.

If you want to find out more, you can contact me to arrange a free 15 min phone or zoom consultation.

 

If you feel comfortable with me and we both feel we can work together (whether face to face or online) we can talk about arranging further sessions and beginning to build our relationship.  I am also happy to have initial contact via text message if this is more comfortable for you than a phone call - please mention this in the contact form below.

 

I am also a Certified Online and Telephone Counsellor and offer individual supervision from my home based Private Practice in South Liverpool.

​

Please note: I take eight to ten weeks leave a year, generally within school holiday time, in order to rest, recuperate and avoid therapist burn out which is so prevalent in this profession.  From 2024, like many Psychotherapists, four of these weeks will be in the month of August.   I always give AT LEAST four weeks (generally much longer) notice of time off, and will work closely with you to ensure you feel safe, secure and supported before I go on leave. Please note - I will not begin a new therapeutic relationship immediately prior to taking leave.
