I am a qualified, skilled and highly experienced therapist with over 20 years in practice. My approach is warm, compassionate and effective. I am committed to working in collaboration with you to develop an individualised and specifically tailored course of therapy that works. I offer short term counselling to target specific issues, and longer term therapy to identify, explore, and resolve the deeper underlying patterns and drivers of distress. I will help you understand yourself better, gain the skills you need to stay well and happy, and move towards living a life of choice, freedom and peace.
I specialise in PTSD and trauma, attachment and relationship issues, addiction, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, childhood wounds, and reconnection with a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Using a range of modalities including EMDR, Gestalt therapy, IFS, ACT, and CBT I can help you regain your sense of trust in yourself and in life.
Warmth, empathy and trust are vital for the therapeutic relationship to be effective. No matter how little or how much you are suffering I will work with you, at your pace, with compassion and skill to alleviate your distress and help you towards a life of freedom. I encourage you to take the first step, get in touch with me, and start feeling better.
