Have you decided you like to make some changes in your life? Whether you’d like to deal with pass experiences or simply learn how to look after the here and now, I may be able help. I say ‘may’ because the relationship between a therapist and client is very important and as such it’s important you feel comfortable sharing your secrets with me.

I can assist with many things, my areas of speciality are: sexual health (including BDSM and poly), grief and loss, trauma recovery. I also have extensive experience working with wildlife carers and am the founder of WildTalk. I am also a certified EMDR practitioner.

I’d love to be able discuss your needs. Please feel free to give me a call.
