I offer a professional, warm, and non-judgemental place where you can feel heard and supported — a place to begin untangling anxious thoughts and emotional overwhelm- that can lead to new self-empowerment.
Through Integrative Counselling supported by Havening Techniques, we gently explore past experiences that may be shaping your current struggles. Together, we work to bring understanding and healing, helping you process trauma, ease anxiety, and build emotional resilience.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, negative thoughts, trauma, or stress, I’m here to help you gain clarity and begin the journey toward lasting emotional freedom.
🧠 Counselling helps you understand and move beyond the issues affecting you, replacing fear or confusion with insight and self-awareness.
When we uncover any negative feelings or distressing memories that are disrupting your daily life, I will offer Havening Techniques to rapidly bring relief.
✋ Havening Techniques® are a gentle, touch-based method grounded in neuroscience that works rapidly to:
Clear trauma
Remove phobias
Negate encoded emotional memories, such as PTSD
Calm stress, anxiety and depression
Boost confidence and emotional resilience,
Build new neural pathways that include a fulfilling life.
Many clients experience profound shifts—even in their first session.
You may be:
Stuck in unhelpful thought patterns
Carrying trauma or anxiety that won’t shift
Struggling with phobias, low mood, or stress
Looking for emotional relief that works
Sometimes we just need someone to listen—without judgement—to help unravel what’s going on beneath the surface. That’s where I come in
Sessions are for 60 minutes and generally on a weekly or 2 weekly basis, which ever you find works best for you.
You’ll also learn Self-Havening, giving you a powerful tool to calm anxiety and manage triggers anytime, anywhere.
In your first session, you’ll have time to talk about what’s troubling you and what you hope to change.
You don’t have to face things alone. Reaching out is the first step towards feeling lighter, stronger, and more in control of your life.
“After just the first session, I felt a huge change in my anxiety. Traumas that had affected me for years eased. No other therapy has had the same instant or lasting effect. I feel more optimistic about the future than ever before.”

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, or simply need to feel heard, I’m here to help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and confidence.
I have been interested in the working of the mind since my mid forties.
My life history had been one of an independant rebel, with feelings of ‘not fitting in’.
I compensated for my lack of conviction that I was okay, by being indulgent, hurting some of the people who loved me and putting myself in danger.

Counselling can bring about deeply effective positive change to your life and how you think and feel. It can be a rewarding and supportive experience.
Talking can open the way to help you reach a better understanding of what’s on your mind, why you have certain thoughts and how to move through them, such as: anxiety, stress, depression, self-doubt, anger, confusion with relationships, lack of self-esteem, grief, or just feeling stuck with your life’s direction.
To help bring relief from distressing memories that may be uncovered thru talking about present emotions or past memories, I will introduce Havening Techniques, based in proven recent neuroscience discoveries to bring resolution and to clear unhelpful emotions. We can integrate both Counselling and Havening within the session.

Our brain holds onto or ‘encodes’ disturbing experiences. The ancient part of our brain believes doing so will help our survival and prepare us to either fight or flee. These responses have become automatic.
Over time we have accumulated a list of thoughts and feelings which re-trigger these negative or worrying responses. Often, they no longer serve us. Integrative Counselling and Havening are effective methods to resolve these issues.
This recently discovered healing technique comes from the fields of neuroscience. Havening Techniques have been scientifically proven to bring permanent positive change to people who have anxiety, phobias, or negative emotions.
Generally you will only need one or two sessions, either face to face or by Zoom, to clear a phobia using Havening Techniques
