Are you struggling to navigate relationship difficulties/conflict with your partner, family member or work colleague? Perhaps you are struggling to navigate the pressures of a new job, life stage such as menopause or adult diagnosis of ADHD? You may feel anxious & overwhelmed and in need of support to help you confidently build skills so you can work towards the things that you really care about & want? Hi I'm Roberta & I have a special interest in working with women & men in all stages of life & to help you build the life you want.
I have extensive experience using individually tailored, strengths based therapies including mindfulness, compassion & trauma focused therapies & EMDR. My approach above all else is to help bring awareness to limiting patterns & behaviours which no longer serve your needs & goals & to equip you to make the changes that you are seeking.
My clients often tell me they find I'm easy to talk to. I understand it's not always easy to seek out support & I will do my upmost to help you feel at ease & understood. Please reach out by phone or by email to book an appointment or to ask any questionsI I look forward to meeting you.

"
I work with women who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide what the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I often use mindfulness, compassion focused therapies to help build awareness of habitual patterns, feelings, thoughts & behaviours & help you build new skills which better serve your needs & goals. I also often use EMDR to help support recovery from trauma.
