Thank you for visiting my site. We are each troubled at some stage in our lives and seeking help is the first stage of change and recovery.
Anxiety and depression are prevalent with the stresses of family, work and Covid 19. At no other time in history have we been bombarded with so much uncertainty, on screen, in the media, and in our daily lives.
Our daily lives and those of our children have been impacted by lock down, changes in working patterns and disruption to our normal routines. Concern for our children’s mental health and education add to our anxieties.
Time to have our needs met is precious when so many other things intrude each day, However there is hope, and freedom from anxiety and depression can be achieved with the right support.
I have trained in: Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, and Trauma and Recovery Therapy. I offer counselling and psychotherapy as a TA Psychotherapist in Advanced Clinical Training.
Currently, I volunteer with the Perinatal Mental Health support team, for East Sussex National Health Trust supporting parents who have experienced traumatic births. Having trained as a Trauma Therapist I find working with parents who have experienced traumatic birth very rewarding.
Group therapy for post natal clients can also be arranged in my private practice.
I have a private practice in rural Wadhurst and see clients via Zoom and Skyps.
I have completed over 900 hours with clients receiving regular supervision from a senior Psychotherapist.
My specialism is perinatal mental health. I also work with children and young people.
