Feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or like nothing is real? Everything is grey? Snapping at people for no reason? Maybe you feel trapped in grief or depression. I can help.

What took me to counselling, many years ago, was a complete feeling of overwhelm; if I didn’t get help NOW, I was going to break. As we explored that, it became clear that I was super hard on myself, with an inner voice that insisted that I was worthless, useless, unworthy of love. It didn’t help that I had been sent to boarding school, and bullied there, nor that I’d never fully grieved the loss of my father. I was shut down, in total defense mode; living my life in black and white, full of shame. It helps to talk to someone who’s had some idea of the pain you’re going through. My pain is not going to be your pain, everyone’s journey is unique – but I might have some idea of what you’re going through.

Contact me to set up a free, 10-15 minute phone call to see if we mutually want to take it further. Finding the right therapist is key to healing. II am a member of both the UKCP and the BACP, and follow both their codes of ethics.

I work with adults from my home (or occasionally online) near to the A12, in easy reach of Ipswich and Colchester. My counselling room is on the ground floor, but there’s a step up to the property.
