Hello...

Whatever you may be struggling with, it is never too late to get help & begin the journey of change. Remember that even in hard concrete, there can be a crack, & in that crack something green, even a flower, can grow.

I am a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience & am a Clinical Associate at The Clearing, Newcastle. I work with young people, adults, couples & families.

The first session with me is half price & thereafter you can get 10% off your first 5 sessions. Please visit our website for more information.

**Please note that in light of the current COVID-19 crisis I am only able to offer online & telephone counselling**

If you are unable to find a session time here that suits you, please email our Practice Manager at info@theclearing.org.uk for assistance.

Therapy with me...

Therapy is a softening process that paradoxically makes us stronger & less at the mercy of what life throws at us.

Having an hour to express yourself, however much, without the worry of being judged, in an hour that is absolutely yours, is something that can gently help to shift your perspective & open up other possibilities.

This is the space that I hope to create for you, whether it be for short term solution focused work or longer term depth therapy.

Experience

I have worked in a variety of different settings including a secondary care psychiatric hospital & private fostering agency. I have been offering private therapy to individuals, couples & families at The Clearing for 7 years. During this time I have supported people to overcome a wide range of difficulties from depression & anxiety, through to longstanding eating disorders & relationship issues.

Areas of Expertise

I have particular expertise in working with neurodiversity issues including autism, ADHD and related learning differences and challenges, trauma, self-harm, fertility (infertility) issues and support around miscarriages, women’s health, bereavement and loss, and anxiety and depression.

If you need a specialist, I am able to offer therapy to people who are affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disability
