What We Will Achieve
When people seek therapy and counselling it is usually because they are in pain or discomfort and they either do not know how to make it better themselves, or they have not found an effective and long-lasting solution. Therapy is a scientifically proven treatment to help individuals relieve different forms of emotional pain or increase self-awareness and clarity. Emotional pain can include, depression, anxiety, loss and bereavement, difficulty in relationships, medical problems, self-criticism and stress.Because no two people are alike, your therapy sessions are individualised and tailored for you and your specific challenge. Therapy and counselling can help with any type of personal issue that you may be facing. The aim of therapy is to get you back on track to living a fulfilling life.

Getting from A to Z
Starting therapy can sometimes seem daunting. That is why I have chosen to operate my practice from the comfortable, quiet, and private village of Sedgefield in County Durham. Tucked away in Sedgefield village, a convenient short drive from Durham City, Darlington, or Stockton, you will feel at ease. During therapy I want you to understand the reasons for your behaviour, your beliefs about yourself, your internal distortions and your fears. By working as a team we will create strategies and use proven techniques suited for you. This will give you the best opportunity to reach a healthier life.
