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.

Seen elsewhere, and struck me as an interesting exercise to check back on the week and notice what has been OK.

Not by any means a Fix It thing - but maybe for just a moment or 2, the mind can be guided to notice what's been ok..... and quite by default, those moments won't be filled with the negatives that can plague us. Just those few moments.... 🙏

Please do share - could be incredibly helpful to someone down the line who needs either this message, or a link to this page ⚕️

And being forced to develop our sense of self and place-in-the-world in such adverse conditions.....is it any wonder that we as humans can feel, as adults, that we still haven't a clue who we're supposed to be....?

Being in survival, hyper vigilance, fear..... these are not conducive to calm processing, logic-brain figuring it out and filing for future reference....

We're too busy just trying not to die! (sometimes literally......)

So, when time passes, and suddenly the whole world expects you to be a fully fledged adult doing adult things and feeling adult things.... If the childhood basis and foundation of learning how to regulate has been scuppered by the frightening situation of childhood, then the adult is genuinely in need of support from someone who understands that this is emphatically not a failure of character or will.

This is the natural and logical result of scuppering a child's foundational emotional regulation learnings.

For somewhere and someone that understands this - get in touch.

Ever felt this?

Sooooo frustrating!

After being told to 'just do this ' or 'try that', and finding these quick-and-easy things didn't work, I figure that you'll very likely be a tad fed up of this.

So I won't tell you what to do.

I'm not the know-it-all guru of Everyone's Life.

We'll figure out together what's most likely to be useful, and I'll support you through changes for however long or short a time you wish.
No arbitrary time or 6-session limit here.

Often healing really starts when we're genuinely listened to and heard, rather than when we're being spoken at and told what to do.

And spending time with others who also see how far you've come is incredibly helpful to reassure the nervous system that it's True and your sense is accurate.

Too many times!!!!!

It's still going on 😕

Not just in this place that has finally come to attention, but in every county in the land.

Will there be enough trauma therapists around in years to come?
Not if government restrictions come to pass - there won't.

Government defined 'help' is
- don't be too mad
- be just mad enough
- don't need more than 6 sessions
- just take these pills to fix everything and stop talking to me
- stop talking to me
- just stop talking to me

(feel familiar?)

Still here, for now.
But I can't be in 20 years time. Because I'm old.
With experience. Which only comes with age and time.

Need help now? I'm here now.

Strength to you 💪
It is possible to overcome traumas of the past, and live Your Life, not theirs 👌

Does this resonate with you?

If it does, you are welcome here.
Welcome to test. Experience. Try.

It's on your timeframe. Not mine. I'll not limit you with "get fixed in 6" or any other arbitrary limitations set by me.

I have to charge - because I have to live.
I have to uphold professional memberships, and keep my training and understanding up-to-date.
So yes, I have to charge.
But unless we simply won't work well together, or you would be better served elsewhere, then I hold space for however long or short a time as you wish.

Private practice since 2003, with military, NHS, and private sector rehab experience.

With SM becoming a place overrun with international bots and fake news....

It can feel difficult to know how to even help the small independent efforts.

Those folk who don't have huge budgets (because they're trying to not overcharge, and keep their services affordable) and can't pay out for PR depts, or who can't employ others to attend to accounts, advertising, legal compliance, policy writing....

Those small folk who are doing it all - the PR, the bookkeeping, the policy checking, the ongoing training updates - and somehow being the full deal for you too.

Support the strong independents you know 💪 who like me are still here for when you need us ☺️

A click or 2, a like or 2, a suggestion to requests for pointers.....a share or 4. Takes just moments. But could save others a heap of money or even (in my work world) a life.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

PSA 📢

Clocks go forward this weekend.

Does your cooker or microwave need you to have a degree in engineering or computer programming to change the clock? 🤣

(laughing *with* you.....our cooker is utterly not intuitive at all.....🙄)

Good luck with all your clocks 🤞

Kindest,

Happiness can be found in the daylight 🙏

Not just for folk who have hugely SAD effects and dread the coming of winter....

Daylight, as opposed to the depths of darkness in the night when matters can feel hugely impending and awful 😔 , can feel like a relief. An invitation to return to Living.



Not that long ago it was dark at this time of day.

We're on the way to increasing sunshine hours - even if they are hidden behind clouds ☁️

With the clarity of returning sunshine hours, if you're seeking clarity in life, in relationships, in work, in Yourself....
You are welcome here.

Oh, so often......

Heard and seen in the therapist's chair - people who have tried to let folk know about the hurt caused, and been silenced for their efforts.

The effort to inform coming from a place of trying to get some connection, some acknowledgement, some communication....

Silenced by the bewilderment of utterly unconnected response.
Utter nonsense.

Silenced by the variety of excuses and blame deflections.
"That never happened."
"Wasn't like that."
"You're too sensitive."
"You made me do it..."

Silenced by the whole of society.
Family members.
Friends.
Wider acquaintances.
The police.
The Courts.

If you're currently being silenced, or have been silenced and are holding a level of core-pain that's weighing you down, you are welcome here.

I believe you.
I have seen it.
I know it.

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.
