People often come to Freedom Clinical Psychology because they are struggling and feel stuck in their lives. They might feel disconnected from others socially, like they are lacking something meaningful in their life, unfulfilled in work or struggling with intimacy in their romantic relationships. Under the surface there are often powerful patterns of how we think, feel and react to situations that were formed when we were children or adolescents and contribute to keeping us stuck now.

I am a passionate advocate for authentic, open and respectful collaborative relationships with my clients, believing it is the first step in empowering positive personal change and reduced emotional suffering. I value the restorative nature of counselling as an opportunity to reflect on values, goals and expectations and to promote self-awareness and personal growth. I can support you to discover the source of your concerns and by uncovering and exploring barriers and potential roadblocks, guide you towards goal-orientated solutions for positive, sustainable change.

Those times when someone says, "I have been everywhere", or "tried everything", and they feel worn down by their emotional pain or discomfort are times when the therapeutic space I offer can bring back hope, reduce pain (emotional, physical or spiritual pain) and enhance life flow for an individual. Leading people out of their suffering is what shapes and underpins my business, services and life. I work holistically, with a client centred approach and often work with those who have re-occurring or persistent emotional, spiritual or financial stress, or chronic health conditions, to bring relief and peace to their life and inner world.

Sometimes life doesn't always go as planned. Even when you are doing your best in a difficult situation you can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, tired and fed up from your battle. Maybe you or a loved one has a diagnosis of a mental health condition and you don't know how to help yourself or your loved ones. I may be able to help you overcome your obstacles and problems with evidence based therapies that are tailored to your particular problems and circumstances. Sometimes just talking to someone about your problems and feelings is all you need. i can help with that too.
