Child and Adult Therapy and Nutrition Online

Description

Hello and a warm welcome,
I offer Psychotherapy, Life Coaching and Nutrition Health Coaching via video only through Zoom nationwide.

My fee starts from £65.00 per session but please contact me if you are struggling financially as I have limited LOW COST SPACES.

I can imagine how difficult it must be searching through the profiles trying to find the right therapist, life or nutrition coach either for yourself or your partner, your child, or your grandchild. Making the decision to ask for help can sometimes feel difficult as you may fear being judged but you are brave to reach out. I am here for you, you don’t have to be alone with your challenges.

I’ve been told by clients that I am easy to talk to, calm, warm, welcoming and approachable. I have also been told that I can quickly put them at ease.

Therapy
*********
I offer a safe non-judgemental space to work through your difficulties or your child’s. I offer strategies and tools to quickly reduce distressing symptoms in order to provide relief from emotional pain and physiological discomfort. I specialise in anger, anxiety (including generalized and separation anxiety, social phobia, panic, health anxiety and obsessions and compulsions-OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention -ERP therapy), depression, bullying, identity issues, low confidence and self-esteem, stress, self-harm, trauma (including intimate partner abuse and sexual abuse). Autism Spectrum Disorder/ Condition (ASD/ASC), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) attachment difficulties, sensory sensitivities, such as irritation to clothing and dislike of textures or smells of certain food or not eating, refusing to go to school, behavioural problems such as not following instructions or refusing to wash and brushing teeth, problems at bedtime or refusing to leave the house or problems with meltdowns.

Many of my clients self-report feeling much better after a couple of sessions, but most will have between 6-8 sessions. For multiple issues, clients usually have around 12-15 sessions.

I qualified over 18 years ago and worked for the NHS (CAMHS) for a number of years. I decided to work in private practice to help people turned away or waiting a long time for a service. I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the government regulator for my profession. My third degree is a masters level qualification in Psychology. I use mindfulness techniques and I have also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is effective in anxiety, depression and weight loss. I provide individual therapy/coaching to adults, adolescents and children (from age 7).

With a background in running parenting groups and facilitating family sessions, I offer my own effective 7-week parenting programme with proven strategies to understand and manage difficult behaviour when the child is too young for therapy. I offer parenting sessions where children are 3 years old and upwards. Please see kind words from parents in the 5* reviews who have attended the programme and explain how they are no longer living in stress and frustration and that life is so much more happier and peaceful.

I provide non-diagnostic specialist assessments for children and adults using various screening tools for anxiety, depression, obsessive and compulsive behaviours (OCD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This will not be a diagnosis but will highlight any difficulties so I can tailor the therapy to meet your needs or your child's needs. If you want me to, I can also make referrals to specialist services so you can receive further specialist support.

 Nutrition Health Coaching
**************************
As there is a strong link between mental health and diet, and after spending years working with clients with eating difficulties; I became a qualified Nutrition Health Coach so can offer you support in achieving your health goals and using food to boost your mental health and manage stress.

I also offer nutrition health coaching on its own and specalise in gut health, inflammation, immunity, weight loss and women's health.

I can help with supporting you with foods that can improve your gut health which research shows can be linked to serious physical health issues and disease as well as mental health. For weight loss, I specialise in the Ketogenic diet and wrote a book which became a #1 Bestseller on Amazon. I give you a free copy as a welcome gift if you have decide this is the right approach for you. I can also help you if you just don’t know what to eat or you want support on eating more healthily without dieting.

My successful approach includes helping you understand the psychology behind eating to identify your triggers and food addictions including overeating and binge eating to help you understand your cravings so you can finally break free.

If you struggle with binge eating or overeating, I combine psychotherapy with eating psychology and nutrition to help you overcome your challenges. Change is possible.

For women's health I offer natural support in perimenopause, menopause and post menopause symptoms. I can provide support with dealing with hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, mood changes and the stress in dealing with these symptoms. There is research that supports natural ways to reduce these symptoms through nutrition so that you have improved sleep, more energy, increased metabolism, better mood and less stress. I also offer support in improving bone and heart health which is vital in reducing the risk of bone fractures and heart disease for women going through this life stage. As these symptoms can often lead to depression and anxiety, I also offer psychotherapy support if needed to process and come to terms with this significant life change for women.

For women's health, I also provide nutrition support for insulin resistance and PCOS to improve and reduce symptoms such as irregular periods, poor sleep, excess body hair, mood changes and weight gain.

Life Coaching
**************
(Weekly or fortnightly)
Do you feel like your career is not feeding your passions or your soul, or you feel unhappy, have stopped enjoying life like you used to and wake up dreading going to work? Do you feel unsatisfied or unfulfilled or perhaps unsure about a relationship or direction in life and need a sense of life purpose? Perhaps you feel like you need help in organising your life, juggling multiple hats and projects and would like to be able to tick things off your to do list? Do you need tools to help you shake off bad habits and develop new ones that will stick for longer than a week? Maybe you just feel like you need to reduce your stress, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps you long for calmness, clarity and peace? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Life Coaching is for you.

I invite you to use the power of accountability by having me as your Life Coach to help you go from where you are now to where you long to be. We explore 12 areas of your life so you can see which area is working for you and which area is causing you pain or frustration leading to a lack of motivation. Together we go on a journey to find a new perspective, navigate life's issues and help you tap into your inner wisdom to find the answers within you. We collaborate to identify your values and your goals and take baby steps each week to problem solve and make gentle lifestyle changes. You are the expert of your life and with my support you can awaken possibilities and gain crystal-clear focus to uncover your full potential and find true purpose. You deserve and can live a happy and fulfilling life. To book a free 10-minute consultation just drop me a message and I will get back to you.
