Together we will create a plan for reducing unwanted behaviours and build healthier ways of coping. Presentations I work with often include addiction, childhood trauma, separation & divorce, parental issues, self-esteem, grief & loss, family violence, anxiety, depression and anger management.
I'm here to help you find peace and to feel at ease in your life. My clients often tell me that I'm easy to talk to and help them to feel an immediate sense of calm. This may explain why so many have been able to share with me their painful memories, for the first time, in safety and without judgement.
I use approaches that include acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), gestalt, mindfulness-based interventions and motivational interviewing techniques to initiate action. A degree in both psychology and counselling gives me insight into the science of how people think, feel, behave and the skills to apply this effectively.

I like to help clients create pause to observe their thoughts and feelings from a different perspective. Slowing down in this way gives greater choice and influence against reactive behaviours that cause us problems.
