Areas of special interest
I work with various presenting issues in therapy, but have developed my areas of interest through personal experience or through interest and curiosity to understand deeper into these specific areas and shape these into my practice
Neurodiversity
Offering a neuro-affirming approach to therapy sessions, I will help and support you through the process. Working with neurodiversity such as ADHD, autism, tourette's / tics and dyslexia, I hope to create a space where you feel ''you really get me''. I proudly work alongside Supportive Counselling, a neuro-affirming therapy service in York.
ME / CFS
Having lived experience of ME, I have a keen interest in supporting individuals through their journey with ME/CFS. I work along side the ME association as an associate therapist, if you would like any further information around ME/CFS please see the link to their website below
Anxiety
Anxiety in a nutshell is, our body’s response to danger or threat.
Feeling's of worry, nervousness, or fear, often accompanied by symptoms such as increased heart rate, breathlessness, muscle tension, restlessness, hot and cold flushes, feeling shaky, nauseous, or unsteady, this list is not exhaustive, but theses are some examples of how anxiety can present in the body.
While anxiety is a normal response to stress, it can become problematic if it begins to interfere with daily life.
We can explore this in sessions and look at way's of challenging these thoughts and feelings.
Couples Therapy
I absolutely love having 2 personalities in the room. Creating a space where you both feel listened to and understood, paving the way to a better understanding of each other , re-building a strong relationship together while very much remaining an individual. Couples therapy I believe, is creating change within the relationship, not to change a person to fit the relationship. A proportion of my couples work is working with neurodivergent couples, weather this be both or one part of the couple, we can create a space to really understand the differences in they way our brains work and to help create understanding for your partner.
