I work with any form of emotional difficulties, from losing direction in life to bereavement or loss. I am passionate about working with family members who have been affected by the mental health of another or struggling with caring responsibilities.

What do you love most about your job?
I simply love the connection my job brings. I feel privileged to be the person that gets to work through some of the most difficult and confusing times in someones life. I am passionate about working with you to discover what is holding you back, what you would like to change and how to get there.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It has always been a vision to provide a space where people can come and receive an individual and tailored service. Working in the city, feeling the stress and strain of modern-day expectations, I decided to retrain and become a Qualified Counsellor.
Every last person is unique, therefore, how could their needs or road to being the best version of themselves be a ‘one fits all’ process? I opened LifeHouse Therapy to provide a variety of avenues to work towards becoming a better you.
All of our therapists are fully qualified and checked - so that you don't have to.
Why should our clients choose you?
Maybe you shouldn't? I truly believe that the Therapeutic Relationship is key to you being able to navigate through a difficult time or a life change. Trust and feeling a connection with the chosen Therapist is paramount. Please feel free to explore all of our therapist profiles here https://www.lifehousetherapy.co.uk/#team

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Covid 19 Safety Protocol for Face to Face Counselling
Sessions
It has been a difficult time for everybody and we have all had to find new ways of working and operating within the restrictions placed on us by Covid-19
Symptoms
You will only keep your in-person appointment if you are symptom-free. If you have symptoms of Covid-19 (eg cough, shortness of breath, fever of 38 degrees upwards, chills, muscle ache, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell) you agree to cancel the appointment or proceed using an online platform either Zoom, WhatsApp Video or telephone.
Prior to your session
All clients will be required to wash their hands prior to sitting down. This can be done in the toilets within or using a hand sanitiser.
The room
The room will be set up to ensure a minimum of 1.5 metres between chairs and, where possible, this distance is observed at all times – both when entering and when exiting the room.
We are unable to provide tissues and refreshments and would encourage you to attend your session with both of these items – even if you think you may not need them.
Prior to your arrival in the room, all surfaces, including the chairs and the touchpoints, such as door handles, have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Soft furnishings such as cushions will be removed.
Please feel free to wear any protective equipment such as masks and/or gloves etc – this is completely optional.
I would ask that where there is no physical contact at all at any point before, during or after the session. To avoid contact payment should be made via bank transfer
COUNSELLING
Counselling or ‘talking therapies’ allow people to discuss their problems or difficult feelings in a safe and confidential environment. It's a process that people begin when they want to change something in their lives, or simply to explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth.
A counsellor is not there to tell you what to do, but instead, encourage you to talk about what's troubling you. The sessions will be aimed at helping you overcome your problems and recognising appropriate changes that may be needed to live to your full potential.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy that utilises hypnosis to produce a state of focused attention. In this state a client can turn their focus inward to find and use the natural resources deep within themselves. Hypnotherapy can help to make positive changes gaining control over thoughts and behaviours.
Hypnotherapy focuses on the subconscious mind unlike counselling which works with the conscious mind.
