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' lea

ves 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.

Happy to be a known support avenue for blue light workers.
Have been readily funded by TASC to support staff.

Get in touch If this is something that you need.
(and your need for support doesn't make you weak - would you consider anyone to be weak if they said they needed food? )
You need to be mentally and emotionally resilient and strong - just to do your day-to-day. So when the absolute worst happens, that's no longer day-to-day, is it.

Or maybe you've had so many 'day-to-days' that it now feels intolerable.

Get help.
You are deserving.
And your patients are deserving of you being Able.

Please do share - you could help someone get the support they need.

We all wear the green, sit in the control room, keep the fleet running, or shuffle the endless paperwork — but no matter our role in the ambulance service, most of us do it for the same reason: to be there for people when life really hits the fan. To be the calm in someone else’s storm.

But let’s not sugarcoat it… this job is tough. Stress levels are sky-high. We see things most people couldn’t imagine. Verbal and physical abuse? Sadly, part of the uniform. And yet, we keep showing up, shift after shift, like gluttons for punishment — because helping others is what keeps us going.

The truth is, underneath the uniform, headset, or oily overalls, we’re still human. No cape. No superhero immunity. Just people doing their best. And sometimes, even the toughest of us need a little backup. That’s not weakness — it’s reality.

We need to look after ourselves just as much as we look after everyone else. Because if we don’t, we can’t be fully there for our families, friends, or patients. Mental health matters, and it’s okay to reach out.

That’s where TASC The Ambulance Staff Charity (TASC) comes in. They’re there for the moments when the “just crack on” attitude isn’t cutting it, when the tea and biscuits haven’t quite fixed things, and when you need someone to listen — no judgement, just support. 💚

Genuinely seen this behaviour in MH clinics.

Tried hard to support the person whilst trying equally hard to sideline the potential abuser.

Letting go of expectations doesn’t have to mean lowering your standards. It can also mean questioning your assumptions about what has to happen for you to feel good about yourself and your life.

My aim is to help people get from 1. to 8. by working through the blocks that can be found at 2. and 3.
Then 4. can become possible, and if 5. is a tricky thing - because well-established habits can be hard to break - then we address these too.

So in some form or other, 6. is already an important stance - in order to receive the help that's available, the seeker must already have a level of commitment to improving their life...

So, if you want to improve your life, address unhelpful habits, attend to those blocks within the thoughts and feelings you have, I could be the person can help you get from 1. to 8.

Contact in confidence.

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.
