You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss or the effects of past or recent trauma and don’t know how to process your recovery; you may be a couple in crisis or wanting to build a better relationship but don’t have the tools; you may be ‘sick and tired’ of feeling ‘tired and sick’ - struggling with addiction or a family member of someone living with addiction. I tailor counselling and psychotherapy to meet individual clients’ needs, collaborating to build a safe and trusted therapeutic relationship. I use Gottmans’ approach to support couples to repair damaged relationships and build a ‘sound relationship house’.
I have a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy, specialising in grief and loss, trauma, advanced addiction counselling, mental health issues, groups, cultural diversity and years of experience working with youth. I have a specialty in the Gottmans approach to couples counselling and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist Intensive Training.
I know the depths of emotion and despair life circumstances can bring, the trauma and pain, at times the overwhelming powerlessness one feels. Reaching out to talk to someone and feeling heard is the first step towards opening up to the recovery journey and a fulfilling and purposeful life.
