I am the Founder of Liberty Counselling York and a fully qualified and experienced BACP therapist.  I offer a safe, compassionate and empowering therapeutic approach to help you explore whatever issues you are experiencing and to help you find a way forward that feels right for you.  There is no right or wrong reason to come to therapy, if you have a need, please get in touch.  ​ 

​

My work in private practice and at York Mind has provided experience across a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, identity, relationship issues, work issues, loss and personal development.  

​

My foundational training is integrative humanistic, which means I focus on providing a safe, therapeutic relationship, which provides the environment for growth and healing.  The integrative part means that I tailor the specific approach according to your needs, blending a variety of therapeutic tools as appropriate.  For example I may integrate some creative therapy, or practical techniques to help ground your body and mind during anxiety and in trauma recovery.   

​

My specific interests and further training have involved recent developments from Neuroscience, which help us work more with body and mind connection.  This can be particularly effective for regulation of the nervous system and emotions (which often unconsciously drive our thoughts, feelings and behaviours), and this regulation can prove very beneficial when working with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness/pain.
