You are looking for a caring and professional counsellor/psychotherapist to listen compassionately to your concerns, validate your feelings and empathise with your challenges. Working together, we can collaboratively discover how best to fulfil your potential and live your best life. You might be struggling with overwhelming changes, such as grief and loss or life-stage transitions. Or you might be feeling stuck with behaviours that have outlived their usefulness. As Jung said, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' Self-awareness brings the freedom of making new choices.
I offer a safe, confidential space within which we can explore your needs, and consider what you'd like to achieve, based on the premise that you are the expert in your own life. I use a person-centred approach, drawing on methods suited to your needs, your background and how you prefer to make sense of the world.
You are welcome to call me for a free 15 minute chat to see if I can be of assistance. We can also use this time to arrange your first consultation, if you'd like to proceed. Your consultations can then be face-to-face in my office, or via an online platform, if that's more convenient. I look forward to hearing from you!

I use strengths-based methods, drawing from somatic psychotherapy and using mindfulness to explore your feelings, experiences and values, so you can discover ways of moving forward while remaining grounded, safe, and aware of your present circumstances. In the first sessions we will discuss what brought you to therapy and if other methods of self-understanding might also be explored.
