Supportive and Effective Counselling in Warwick

As a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer one-to-one sessions online and in-person from a private counselling room in Warwick. I provide immediate short-term support when life seems overwhelming or you feel alone. Or we can use longer-term work to explore complex issues in more depth and bring about lasting change.

I have experience working with a wide range of life issues such as: anxiety; depression; addictive thinking and behaviour; disordered eating; low self-confidence; abuse; grief; issues within relationships and families; navigating transitions; adjusting to parenthood; the impact of long-term health conditions; and other life-affecting experiences.

My field is Psychosynthesis counselling: an integrative approach which includes a range of effective, supportive and creative techniques from modern psychotherapy and ancient wisdom. We explore the interconnection between mind, body and emotions and how they each affect our life experiences and sense of self. Creating a sense of inner harmony (synthesis) by accepting and including all aspects of our being. In our sessions I can support and guide you on this journey.

Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a secondary school teacher and youth worker in London for 10 years. I relocated to the Midlands in 2016 and started a family.

I have a long-term health condition (Rheumatoid Arthritis); and learning to integrate this and other life changes, has been a formative part of my development as a counsellor, and as a person.

My own journey in therapy was intermittent, firstly as a teenager struggling to cope within my family system. Then at university, feeling uprooted and alone, in need of connection. My third attempt to engage with therapy, in my twenties, came from a deterioration in both my physical and emotional wellbeing. Therapy at this time brought about a profound change in my understanding and acceptance of myself. My physical and emotional health improved, as did my ability to relate to others. My experience inspired me to become a counsellor myself, hoping to lend the benefit of my learning to someone else taking the brave step to engage in therapy.
