Overview

Welcome to On&Upwards Mind Therapies

In contacting me you have opened up the opportunity to work with a therapist who is genuinely here to support you in the best way possible. Prior to becoming a mind therapist, I worked for many years in education as teacher and as a manager with young people aged 5-18. I specialised in dyslexia, complex needs ( physical and cognitive), communication difficulties, ADHD, Autism, PTSD and SEBD.
Since qualifying as therapist I further enhanced my knowledge and experience through working with adults, many of whom have disabilities and difficulties. My voluntary work as a mentor with SSAFA, with a homeless charity and as a web-chat volunteer with the Blue Cross - pet loss bereavement sector, has further ratified my belief that there are so many people across the social spectrum who are seeking support. Reading statistics is valuable without a doubt , but working on the ground brings the real human aspects to the fore.
Mind Therapy can be a stand alone intervention which can effectively meet the needs of some clients . The number of sessions required varies greatly from person to person. I will work with you for as long as you feel necessary....never beyond.
Some people are unaware that mind therapy will not work if a client does not want to be fully engaged in the sessions or perhaps have come along to therapy in order to please someone. For example if you do not want to give up vaping, then you won't even if someone has told you to. However, most of my clients know what they want to achieve and are willing to work with me.

I pride myself in being open and honest with my clients and all can be guaranteed a warm welcome from a kind, caring professional. My teaching skills have really enhanced my ability to be creative in my work. I am able to differentiate my strategies to suit each person who walks through the door.
Working with all clients, but especially with children and adolescents, requires a great deal of creativity and often a good old supply of humour to help build the vital foundation based on positive RAPPORT, RELATIONSHIP and TRUST.

You may not know it but right now you have the knowledge locked away in your mind to help you manage the unwanted thoughts feelings and emotions that you are unable to shed. There may be events which have caused you to struggle, some recalled, some forgotten which are holding you back. We will work together and at your pace- a step at a time to help you find that strength and knowledge so that you to learn how you can manage unwanted thoughts and feelings out with the therapy room.

I adhere to the NCH's code of Ethics and am totally committed to life long learning. I am a reflective practitioner who embraces making changes for the benefit of my clients and myself.

Please note that Mind Therapy is complementary to and is not a replacement for medical intervention.

I am here for you. Please feel free to contact me
