About me and the therapy I offer:
As well as providing therapy for issues such as anxiety, grief, trauma and relationships; my personal experiences, my client work and training all make me ideally placed to help with birth trauma/babyloss, gender identity and neurodiversity.THERAPY RELATING TO NEURODIVERSITYAwareness of neurodiversity is increasing and whether diagnosed, or undiagnosed, many people now are now linking their thoughts and behaviours to autism (ASD), ADHD, ADD, ODD and OCD.
I have worked with people of various ages who are seeking some understanding of their condition or disorder. Processing a diagnosis or simply starting to recognise neurodiverse tendencies can be challenging. I work with the individual, meeting their needs through accommodations to sessions where necessary or I can work with family members or carers who are supporting people with neurodiversity.GENDER IDENTITY ISSUES• Non binary and transgender identity
• Intersex individuals
• Gender dysphoria
• Relationship and sexuality issues
• Gender fluidity
• Issues relating to social, hormonal and physical/surgical transitioning.
We live in a world where tolerance and understanding is not always forthcoming and members of the queer community are increasingly at risk from prejudice and ignorance.
If you would benefit from a supportive, safe and non-judgmental space to discuss how your gender identity or sexuality is affecting your day to day life, then please get in touch.CHILDLOSS, BIRTH TRAUMA, STILLBIRTH & INFERTILITY• Infertility,
• Miscarriage,
• Stillbirth,
• Medical termination,
• Unwanted pregnancy
• Traumatic childbirth experience
• Neo natal death,
• Sudden death (including cot death),
The grief of losing a child, or not being able to have a child, can be overwhelming and I provide a safe, neutral space for you to process this.
Each person's experience is different and I will support you while you work through your grief and repercussions of your loss.
I can support grandparents, siblings and other family members who might be struggling with their own response to this loss.
What to expect from me:
I take time to hear your experiences and work with you to focus on a way forward, helping you find ways to improve your understanding of yourself and your situation. I'm here to help with any challenges you face. We will work together to understand your current issues, make sense of past experiences and focus on your long-term goals. I can help with anxiety, grief, depression, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional and physical trauma as well as a variety of other issues. I work in an Integrative way, helping you to voice your concerns and think about the way forward. This means that I can use a variety of approaches with clients including psychodynamic, gestalt, solution focused, CBT and transactional analysis. Therefore, your needs become the priority and we find ways of getting the therapy to fit you rather than you fitting into the therapy.
