Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Need something to change but unsure how to go about changing it? We all face challenges in life that can impact our well-being and quality of life. Often these difficulties can be worked through on your own but sometimes, speaking with a compassionate and objective counselling professional can be useful too. You don’t need to struggle alone. Let me help you get back on track.

Life at times throws us challenges that we can feel ill equipped to handle. It may be in the workplace or at home. Counselling provides an opportunity to talk about these issues, learn how to work with them differently, including practical coping methods and strategies.

Relationships are particularly important in my practice, I can support couples and families through many relationships issues.

I am committed to providing holistic, inclusive, and trauma-informed therapy. As a Gestalt therapist, my approach is grounded in the present moment and is non-pathologising. Through the lens of anti-oppressive practice, I prioritise creating a therapeutic space where all the parts of you are considered, held and deeply respected. If you are looking for someone to work alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and increased self-awareness, I'm here. I can support you to connect with your inner experiences to empower you to make meaningful changes in your life and deeper connections to yourself, others and the wider environment.

I work with people ashamed of their feelings and need someone to talk to. They suffer from trauma, depression, and extreme grief. They have lost a part of themselves or someone they really love. They have a lot of outer success but internally, they feel very overwhelmed with life and feel they're drowning. They do not know how to cope anymore and mostly, they think ending their lives would ease or end the pain. They are ashamed of their feelings and they feel very much alone, no one understands them and they don’t have anyone to talk to. They are fed up and they cannot see, hear nor feel anything positive anymore.

Do you ever feel weighed down by life and how relentless it all seems? I would like to support you to get that spark of life back and by looking at past and present issues that could be causing you emotional pain.
