My Approach

I have experienced and learnt first-hand how hard it is to support a loved-one through to recovery from Anorexia Nervosa and OCD, and the effect living with mental illness can have on not only the sufferer but everyone involved, particularly the rest of the family.

I was keen to go on to give others the benefit and support of my knowledge and experience both personally and as a counsellor. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with some wonderful people and their families, each and every one unique, whilst I have been able to support them through their journeys. I too have learnt from them. My clients have said that they find my practical and down-to-earth approach really refreshing. I have been compared to the therapist in the film The Kings Speech many a time! His methods are alternative – but they get results.

Comfortable Environment

There are a whole range of different techniques and approaches to counselling, and an environment that is perfect for one person may well not suit someone else. Over the course of your counselling we will be spending a lot of time together, and working through some very personal issues, so I am passionate about providing an environment in which you will feel comfortable.

There is nothing intimidating about where we will be meeting; it is in fact more of a family home than a clinic! Sessions are spent in a relaxed, informal room, full of hope and cups of tea. You will definitely never see a clipboard or a questionnaire; instead, there are pictures on the walls and interactive crafts and games for the younger ones. After all, this is a positive experience, and I always strive for my clients to leave feeling happier and stronger than they did when they arrived!

Mikyla Dodd

“I have a Person-Centred approach and combine that with CBT, using visualisation techniques that are relatable. I believe that warmth, empathy and feeling truly heard are the foundation of any successful therapy. I also have strong ties to the neurodiverse community, I welcome clients who see the world differently and I recognise the common links between Autism/ADHD/OCD and other life changing conditions such as eating disorders and anxiety. I regularly support parents and carers of Neurodivergent children offering a safe, non-judgemental space that truly acknowledges the constant hidden challenges of supporting Autism/ADHD/OCD.”
