I believe a life of meaning, fulfillment and happiness is possible for every person, from those with slightly tiresome moods or behaviours to those with severely wounded pasts. It can be achieved through a guided therapeutic process which combines scientific research and experience with careful assessment into each person's mental barriers, unhelpful traits and recurrent emotional patterns. My practice of over 16 years, offers a caring, intuitive, nuanced approach uniquely tailored to your needs while utilizing the latest evidence based, neuro-scientifically informed treatments
Initially I can assist with the challenges directly affecting your day to day life. These might require attention so that you are feeling better, more empowered and not at the mercy of stress/anxiety/negative moods which keep coming up. Subsequently I can help you resolve adverse past or childhood experiences to overcome the patterns which create challenges.
That initial call or message to inquire about therapy can be hard. It takes years for some of these challenges to develop and they might not want to be given up which creates resistance to starting therapy. Making the first contact can be so hard yet it is great that you are thinking about it and looking on here.

The therapies I use are tailored to each individual. Some people benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because the issue they need help with does not affect everything else in their life. For challenges which are more pervasive and affect interpersonal relationships I often use Schema Informed Therapy or a Complex Trauma model which help to heal the effects of adverse childhood experiences.
