As a professional counsellor, my goal is to bring greater clarity to your personal challenges, and direction & empowerment in finding a way through. I hold a special interest in assisting clients of any age suffering anxiety and panic, and thoroughly understand how incapacitating high levels of stress can be to all areas of your life and relationships. Your safety and well-being are something I prioritise, so I ensure your sessions are relaxed and supportive. Your issues and griefs are given time to be heard and validated, as I highly value your life story.
I am passionate in helping you discover your hidden strengths & values, building self-awareness & self-respect. I also emphasise the importance of understanding your own nervous system so that you are better able to manage and be in control of your personal well-being. My aim is to help you navigate life more successfully.
When life circumstances become overwhelming, withdrawel is often the response. This is normal. However it can cause you to remain isolated and lost. Can I encourage you to reach out and call me, and together we can find a way back.

Seeing anxiety & panic attacks through the lens of Poly Vagal Theory, gives clients a language to what is happening within their body & reassurance they're not going crazy. Initial sessions involve understanding how life events shape our nervous systems. We then work together on various exercises that increase awareness of autonomic states, improve self regulation and enhance wellbeing.

I base my sessions on the principles of Poly Vagal Theory - the 'science of safety'. However within this framework I utilise a number of modalities such as Positive Psychology, CBT and Solution Focussed Therapy. Once a client understands their nervous system and is able to read and map it, other therapies make more sense and the client is better equipped in managing their issues.
