Time For

Time For Personalised therapy - because one-size does not fit all. We don't ask to be born into this world, and yet here we find ourselves. Especially if we're young.

With over 30 years experience in the mental health arenas, I can offer tailored work to suit your needs - counselling, hypnotherapy, lifeline rewrites, stress reduction, trauma recovery. Sometimes the situation in which we find ourselves feels instinctively 'wrong', unfair, but the only option open to us is to manage as best we can. Or old. Or any age really. When the 'managing as best we can' leaves us drained, or unsure of who we are, feeling guilty for 'not doing better', or angry at the world in general, that's the time to seek support and help to make sense of what is going on. If your experiences have included being outright abused, neglected, ridiculed, bullied, ignored and dismissed, or you have witnessed trauma the like of which no one ought to see or feel, then getting support can prove to be a lifeline. Just because you may be able to look around and see others apparently doing better, seemingly having a good life, or having it 'worse' than you, this does not mean that your efforts are failing. Or that your difficulties are in any way irrelevant or too small to trouble someone with. If you have been told you have depression, anxiety, PTSD, BPD, DID, or any mental health diagnosis, you will be welcome here - I don't automatically exclude anyone because of a label. Knowing that there is someone here who not only cares about your situation, but also how you are, and who could also help you to gain some level of peace of mind and a life that feels better, I hope gives you some hope. If you feel you want some help, get in touch. I have years of experience of helping fellow human beings to battle their demons, regain their equilibrium, put down the burdens carried for others, and feel better. Live better. You can do this. And I could help you - because I've been there.

I'm back in the office tomorrow 👍❤️
Ready to welcome returning folk, and open for New People as well.

However, a deserving cause has gained my attention for the first couple of days, so if I take a little while longer to respond, please, please do bear with me 🙏

Charity and goodwill seems to finish after Xmas..... this good cause is Right Now. (after all the festivities)

TY 🤗👍🙏⚕️

Relatives, êkwa —
Come sit for a moment.
Nothing is being asked of you here
except your breath.

The land, askîy, has grown quiet.
Not because it is empty,
but because it is listening.

Pipon — winter — does not hurry us.
It slows the heartbeat of the world
so we can hear ourselves again.

Some of you feel tired in ways rest has not yet touched.
Some of you are carrying questions with no answers.
This is not failure.
This is the spirit finding its place.

Our old ones taught us that even nîpiy, the water,
rests beneath the ice while still moving forward.
So it is with you.

Sit for a moment, relatives.
Breathe with the land.
Your pimâtisiwin — your life’s journey —
is still unfolding.

You are not lost.
You are held.

êkwa, we listen.

There's a goodly number of posts about connecting with yourself, figuring how to get that peaceful moment, and holding your power this festive season.

I just hope you get through.

It might feel extra hard to reach out for help today because it’s Christmas. But please know you don’t have to face anything alone. Please don’t struggle in silence, if life feels tough, we’ll face it with you. We’re here all day and night 💚

Just sayin'....

Our Story

After many years in the NHS, military and the private sector working in mental health care settings as a qualified nurse, I can now bring that experience to counselling and therapy services as an independent professional.

Working with an independent therapist, you can be assured that your work won't be limited by any arbitrary timelines set by organisations whose aims may be set to other agendas than concentrating on you. Your time here is important, whether that be as someone seeking support with a specific issue or a challenging life situation, or as a student or colleague gaining mentorship or clinical supervision.

I am fully qualified, with a BSc in Integrative Counselling, and regulated through my membership of the National Council of Psychotherapists.

If you are finding life tricky, facing stress, bereavement, feeling angry or anxious for a lot of your time, leaving the military or having issues from your Service, been told you have depression or other mental health matter, or even if you are finding it difficult to know how to stop a habit of thinking or of doing, then counselling may be useful for you.
