discover Space for Reflection and Grounded Change
Therapy and coaching to help you navigate your internal landscape, explore your patterns, and return to self-trust.
PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELLING
You may be considering therapy if you have a particular issue you want to work through or you wish to learn more about yourself. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not feeling yourself; you may be going through big life changes, lacking confidence or wanting to learn how to set boundaries. Therapy can help to develop meaningful strategies, self understanding and insight so you can move forward. Find out more below.

You’re thoughtful, capable and ready for change, but something still feels stuck. I offer online coaching, informed by my psychotherapeutic training, for curious individuals who want to live with more clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of self. Whether you're based in the UK or working with me from abroad, my coaching sessions provide space to pause, reflect and make meaningful shifts.

TALKING THERAPY SESSIONS
I work one to one with adults (age 18 and over) face to face in Newcastle upon Tyne. I also offer online therapy for anyone in the rest of the UK and other parts of the world.
As a relational integrative psychotherapist I draw on a number of therapeutic interventions and models of therapy to best help individuals understand themselves and their issues.
Relational Integrative Psychotherapy | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy | Transactional Analysis | Somatic Psychotherapy | Attachment-based Therapy | Talking Therapy | Creative Therapy | Sandtray Therapy | Counselling | Online Therapy | Mindfulness
You may be feeling stuck and looking for direction or a new challenge. You may feel you are struggling with relationships, friendships or your career, finding unhelpful behaviours or thoughts are getting in the way or simply want someone to hear you.
I offer a free initial telephone consultation to answer your questions about how I work and what you are looking for from therapy.
If you decide after this you would like to work together we would arrange one or two initial assessment sessions where we would explore in more detail what has led you to seek therapy. We would also discuss in more depth how we would work together and the frequency of your sessions.
I am also a registered psychotherapist with several private health insurance companies (Axa, Aviva, Bupa, and WPA) and have significant experience working with trainee and student therapists.
Sessions are £80 each and last for 50 minutes.
I help adults with a wide range of issues including:
Anxiety
Low self-esteem or confidence
Stress
Major life changes
Chronic health conditions
Trauma
Career transitions
Relationship difficulties
Health anxiety
Feeling stuck
Self-exploration
Identity
Childhood issues
Isolation
ONLINE COUNSELLING
Online therapy is increasingly popular and I believe it can be as effective as face to face counselling sessions. You may choose to do all of your therapy sessions online (I have clients from all over the UK) or you may want to do a mix of in-person and online.
Convenience: You can attend therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or any other location with an internet connection. This can save you time and money on travel.
Flexibility: Not having to factor in travel or extended time away from work makes it easier to find a time that fits your schedule.
Accessibility: Being able to access online counselling is helpful if you live in a more rural area, have transportation challenges, or have difficulty leaving your own home.
Privacy: Online therapy can be a more private and relaxed option for some people than in-person therapy. This is because you can attend sessions from a location where you feel safe and comfortable.
I use Zoom as a platform for my online sessions because it is secure and end-to-end encrypted. We will arrange a backup option before the session (e.g. I will you phone you) should the internet connection fail for one or both of us. The benefits of online counselling are that you can access your sessions from anywhere, however, you will need to ensure you have a quiet space where you will not be interrupted or overheard.
Transform Your Life with Coaching
This service is tailored for people who desire more than just success; they seek a balanced, fulfilling life. I integrate evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques, such as relational integrative psychotherapy, psychodynamic and transactional analysis, with strategic coaching methods. This combination empowers my clients to achieve deep psychological insight and significant, sustainable shifts in both mindset and behaviour.
A Unique Approach
I bring together the best of both worlds: the structured, solutions-focused energy of coaching and the healing empowerment of psychotherapy. This approach enables me to facilitate both proactive strategies and transformative solutions, ensuring that you not only navigate challenges but also excel in your personal and professional life.
Therapeutic Coaching: I provide a bespoke service that integrates traditional coaching techniques with psychotherapeutic modalities. This dual approach enables you to achieve profound insights about yourself and your relationships, driving positive psychological shifts and healthier behavioural strategies that are both motivating and sustainable.
Tailored Strategies: I understand that everyone’s journey is unique. My coaching sessions are flexible and responsive to your specific needs, ensuring that the strategies we develop are aligned with your values, strengths, and aspirations.
Holistic Growth: We work together to address the whole you - your career, your personal life, and your inner self. By working on both conscious and unconscious levels, we facilitate shifts in thinking and behaviour that lead to lasting transformation.

Many people, despite their successes, find themselves struggling with:
Burnout
Overwhelmed by the relentless demands of work and home life, leaving you depleted and unable to enjoy your successes.
Lack of Direction
Reaching a crossroads where the next step in your career, relationships, or personal growth seems unclear.

Persistently questioning your worth, even in the face of significant achievements.

Juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, resulting in high levels of stress and anxiety.

This client journey is a testament to the transformative power of therapeutic coaching. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, deepen your relationships, or simply find more peace and joy in your daily life, my approach can help you achieve the profound change you desire.
“What I appreciate most about the coaching sessions is their holistic approach. It’s not just about addressing work-related issues; it’s about examining all aspects of life, identifying what is important, and finding a better balance, or coping strategies when facing challenges. By taking a step back and reassessing my priorities and ways of looking at my work, I’ve been able to make significant changes that have had a positive impact on both my professional and personal life.
One of the most rewarding aspects has been the improvement in how I coach the staff I line manage. By implementing the strategies I’ve explored during the sessions, I’ve been able to foster a more supportive and empowering environment for our staff, as well as myself.”
