About Dean

If you are suffering from anxiety or feeling overwhelmed. Therapy can help you to change pace, reduce worry and resolve the stress in your life allowing you to take back control.

Counselling doesn't have to be time consuming. It is only one hour a week and if you have a busy schedule you can even book an online session to fit your lifestyle and you won't even have to travel.

Therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety by:

• Exploring your worries by talking them through in a place without judgement or fear - so that you can develop ways to build confidence and self-esteem.
• Recognising the issues; what the stressors are and their underlying causes - so that you can develop better coping strategies.
• Helping you set your own boundaries and manage people's expectations - giving you more self esteem and freeing up time for you.
  

I started my private practice because I saw too many people struggling with anxiety and stress and felt that many of them didn't know how to cope with it. Some people hoped that they would grow out of it by adulthood. For many it remained despite having a successful career or family lifestyle. Others found that the overwhelm was so bad that they are performing below their capacity.

With over seventeen years in teaching, I know too well the results of burnout. I understand what that exhaustion feels like and how the lack of good support contributes to anxiety and feeling hopeless. How this affects self esteem can be massive. Leading us to believe that we are just not good enough.

Since then I have retrained as a therapist. I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered with NCPS.

I have extensive experience in supporting clients to make positive changes in their lives and their work. It is possible to take back control and to have a fulfilling life with a clear head and peace of mind.

I offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs. Each method is designed to empower you on your journey to healing.
