I am a practiced counsellor, most of my experience is in trauma and relationships. My job is to build a comfortable and safe space for you to explore any issues that may be holding you back from creating the life and connections you long for. My experience is that we all have the same longing for intimacy and community but that our ability to create this in the world can be compromised by our early experiences, affecting how we relate to ourselves and others. Working with couples and individuals we can explore what stands in your way and how to begin to move through these barriers to build the life of your potential.

I practice a unique blend of clinical and organisational psychology. My therapy sessions are conversational, personal, playful, and guiding. Therapy is about a client and a psychologist starting from an idea: That things could be better. Maybe by a lot, maybe just by a little; either way, something worth working for. Something that justifies facing challenges, shaking things up, taking some risks. As a therapist I don't pretend to know all the answers. My skill is to ask the right questions.
