I believe therapy should be individually tailored for clients to work on the goals they identify as important. A non- judgemental and empathetic client centred approach is important and I endeavour to ensure the client feels supported and cared for within a safe space during our sessions together.

Life is a dynamic process. Sometimes that process is smooth and easy to navigate and sometimes it is rocky and can become very hard. For me psychology is the way towards a better understanding of the dynamic process of life and psychotherapy is a workshop to create tools, specific to you, to help you live well. I am interested in making psychology accessible to everyone by meeting you where you are at in your story.

If you’re looking to improve yourself, break out of a cycle of unhealthy thinking and behaviour, or deal with topics and conversation you don’t feel comfortable speaking to your family/ friends about, there is a space for you.

Relational Coaching is my personalised approach to helping people get on with one another and with life. I like coaching as a metaphor because it is positive, outcome orientated and has an everyday feel to it. One way of looking at counselling is to see it as a safe place to say what you need to say, to discover ways of saying what you need to say, to have someone hear (really hear) what you need to say, and to help you say it well!

I work with anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders and trauma and much more. It is important that the client and I work collaboratively to meet a clients needs and goals and that we have an open, honest relationship together. It is important for client's to know that they are the master in themselves and that I as a therapist am there to support them to make their own changes to reach their full potential.

The desire for positive change and a deeper understanding of oneself often motivates individuals to seek counseling.
