 Welcome to On&Upwards Mind Therapies

Thank you for taking time to read  my blog.  By doing so you have opened up an opportunity to work with a Mind Therapist who is genuinely here to support you in the best way possible.  

I worked  within the education sector as a teacher and manager for over 40 years .  I worked with young people aged 5-18 within mainstream and  ALN settings.   I specialise in dyslexia ,physical disabilities , communication  difficulties and disabilities, SEBD, ADHD, Autism and PTSD  among others. 

I know that many people struggle with their physical or mental  health conditions  and  often resign themselves to being  isolated, sometimes  mocked  and  undervalued . Some find themselves  locked into  a cycle of feeling  anxious , helpless and hopeless.  I have witnessed first hand how therapy  can help bring  about positive change.  

I have extensive experience in providing professional and  practical assistance  to individuals  as  they  try to cope day to day .  I have always made time to listen to a person, be it an adult or child, who is struggling, regardless of the context   I  learned early on that many of us still feel the  pressure of believing that we need to cover up  how we  are feeling  and shy away from talking about our mental health,  despite the very welcome disclosures  from celebrities.   The  fact that you are reaching out now is a major step in the right direction. 

My experience of working with professionals from across the  social work, education, health and legal sectors has been amazing.   The work these practitioners do is inspiring … but their services are stretched  well beyond their capacity.     That  was one of the reasons which led me towards becoming a therapist -to provide support to those who are on a waiting list and do not know where to turn to.

My business is  new but I bring  a life time of experience ..not always getting it right, but  through continuous  self - reflection  I  learn , make any necessary changes and strive always  to deliver the best service possible.  I can provide  a professional person - centred   approach to  help  you or your child  and can help you to change  the  way of thinking from  “What if?”  to   “So  What !”   and guide you towards reaching your goals.

 That  well   known supermarket ad is pretty spot on in that you indeed have the power.   It’s my  job to help you  find it and use it .

*Mind Therapy is complementary  to any treatment which may be in place and is not a replacement .    I  am registered with the NCH  and  work within the stated  Code of Ethics .
