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.

This makes sense to me.

Those moments during the day when we allow 'noticing without judgement ' can add up...
And automatically, that day hasn't been 100% filled with high-volume alert status. It can't be.... because of even just one moment of 'noticing'....

There are times when enough is enough.

This far, and no further.

We can withstand, accept (for want of a better word), reason away.....

But when that limit is hit!

It can surprise a lot of people around us - those who have been so used to being able to dump, blame, use, expect....
When that avenue is closed because we can't give anything more, oftentimes those who now have to shoulder their own burdens are unhappy to be forced to do so.

Healing ourselves can sometimes bring negative reactions from those around us.

In my work, we consider this potential.

We are, after all, tribe people. We need those around us. And if there's a possibility of those others reacting negatively to our improvement, we need to consider this before it comes to pass. To be ready for the possibility.

Sadly,

From this month, bookings will only be confirmed on and by payment at time of booking.

In the past 2 weeks, 3 appts have just not been attended.

I don't offer large numbers of appts - because I don't hold that full encounter can be possible when meeting with 6+ people a day.
When I worked as a CPN, that number of meetings frazzed my brain!
You are worth more than a brief, frazzed and forgotten meeting.

This is my sole income.

So, with regret - booked time is now only booked upon payment.

My bills won't allow for anyone else's non-payment 😞

I have worked with people for whom this level of retreat was perfectly reasonable.

Ever in hope for a society that allows for this, rather than blaming and shaming those who need to withdraw.

I can work with you towards reducing the impact of trauma.

Often that work begins with bearing witness.

And believing you.

Not rushing in to reduce, minimise, negate.... because maybe you're fed up of others telling you to effectively shut up.

"Don't feel like that."
"You should be feeling better by now."
"Don't talk like that."
"Not this again?"

Or even your GP hustling you out the room because they haven't time to offer anything else than a few words, a prescription and maybe a referral with over a year waiting list....

Using a unique-to-you combination of approaches in the most useful way for you - talking therapy, guided meditation, hypnosis, somatic awareness, CBT, NLP, future pacing - the aim will be to work at your pace, towards what you wish to achieve.

If this calls to you, get in touch.
You're welcome here.

Reacquainting myself with Dr Laing....

When generosity starts to feel like a financial obligation rather than a gift, the silence from loved ones can be deeply hurtful.

Psychotherapist Vicky Reynal explores why a lack of gratitude from adult children often signals a deeper shift in family dynamics—where you may feel valued more for your bank balance than your presence.

Discover how to break the cycle of "quiet exploitation" and address the awkwardness of being taken for granted without feeling uncharitable.

Worth a consideration.....m

The use of medicines to address mental health or behavioral conditions climbed from 2001 until 2020, analysis showed, but the increase has led to safety concerns.

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.
