About Me

I specialise in Trauma, Couples Counselling and Life Coaching.

So what does Trauma mean in relation to counselling?

 

Trauma is our body's response to a significantly stressful or distressing event, which can completely take over our ability to cope in "life situations."  This can cause anxiety, depression, shame, guilt or any other number of emotions that hinder our ability to live life fully.

Counselling can empower you to understand and name the challenges you've faced. By acknowledging and addressing the source of your trauma, you can build resilience and develop effective coping skills.

 

I work with individuals and young people and I also offer Life Coaching if change and direction is needed.

I offer a safe place which is yours for 50 minutes each session to talk confidentially about whatever you want. Sometimes we need to be heard and to have someone who is non-judgemental, listens, is empathetic and kind.

This is what I can do for you. I can be there just for you, to listen and to challenge you. You will have an independent person on your team. No fuss, no doubting just 100% support for you.​​

 

I work from a bright and quirky counselling room in St Albans where I can offer face to face counselling, or if you are further afield or internationally based then I can offer video counselling.

 

​​I have volunteered as a counsellor at a Domestic Abuse Charity and HARSAC Herts Area Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre.​​

I am an NCPS Accredited Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. 

Couples Counselling: When to Seek Help​

​Couples Counselling sessions are typically one hour in duration.​​

 

Is it time for Couples Counselling?

​​Recognising when your relationship needs professional support can be difficult. Here are some signs that couples counselling might be beneficial:​

  • Communication Breakdown:         Do you find yourselves talking over each other, or not listening effectively?

  • Constant Irritability:                       Does everything your partner says or does seem to annoy you?

  • Diminished Intimacy:                     Has physical intimacy decreased or ceased altogether?

  • Differing Life Goals:                       Are you and your partner on different paths regarding your future?

  • Infidelity or Emotional Distance:    Are you or your partner seeking attention or emotional connection elsewhere?

  • Feeling of Stagnation:                   Do you often find yourselves asking, "Is this it?"

  • External Pressures:                       Are family or outside influences creating significant conflict in your relationship?​

These are just a few of the issues couples bring to therapy. Many relationship challenges CAN be overcome with the right support.​​
