Oakleaf Counselling and Psychotherapy

Welcome to Oakleaf Counselling. Whether you are taking your first steps toward therapy, looking for professional supervision, or seeking expert guidance on best practice and clinical governance, you have come to the right place. 

As a Psychotherapist I offer a confidential, compassionate space for individuals to explore what brings them to counselling or psychotherapy.  As a Supervisor I provide specialist support for organisations and practitioners who want to develop and strengthen the quality of their clinical work.  As a Consultant on Counselling Service Management I proved guidance on good governance, clinical best practice and support you to deliver the best possible service for your clients.   Whatever brings you here, I am glad you found your way.

When people look towards Counselling and Psychotherapy it is often when experiencing events or circumstances which can leave us worried, anxious, confused, angry or sometimes overwhelmed. Change can appear too challenging or sometimes impossible. At other times we can feel stuck or unable to overcome issues arising from our pasts, unable to communicate what we want or need, or how we feel. We are left struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression and low self worth or confidence and shame and it can feel others don't or cannot understand.

As difficult as these circumstances may be, they can also be pivotal turning points in our lives, teaching us greater happiness, growth and acceptance. I provide counselling and psychotherapy to people experiencing these events in their lives, providing emotional grounding and safety, acceptance, empathic listening and constructive, solution focused approaches to achieving goals and outcomes that better benefit you and those you care about in your life.
