My practice is for adults who are curious about themselves, their relationships with others and the world around them. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, searching for meaning/purpose in your life, work or relationships. Perhaps you’re living with chronic symptoms, trying to cope with the uncertainty of a recent diagnosis, or the grief following a significant loss. Whatever your experience we approach your circumstances, not as sources of difficulty, but as meaningful opportunities for deeper self understanding, an opportunity to explore new perspectives, consider changes, and support thoughtful action.
Increased self-awareness can support a renewed sense of identity, wellbeing and connectedness. Working from a person-centred perspective, my evidence-based approach includes both short- and longer-term therapies such as, solution-focussed, cognitive behavioural, and mindfulness based psychodynamic, somatic and existential informed counselling/psychotherapy.
Whatever your circumstances, taking the steps to seek help is courageous and important. The good news is you’re not alone. With over 25 years’ experience, my intention is to create a calm, welcoming and confidential space from which we can explore the issues that have brought you to therapy together.
