Life is an incredible journey that can be invigorating and magical but can also challenge and knock us off our feet. There are times when we struggle to find the joy in life, to process our emotions and to be overwhelmed by our feelings. It can be challenging to know what is our next step when we are drowning in the stressors of life. It takes incredible courage to recognise when we are struggling, and understand that it takes strength to reach out for support when we have tried everything in our toolbox. My role as your therapist is to understand and meet you where you are at, and support you in your journey of healing.
Bayly & Liverpool office. It's a calm and soothing space to support you in feeling safe and comfortable.
Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your ideas and questions about therapy. My gentle and collaborative approach is client centred, recognizing the strength and resilience that has brought you to where you are today. I integrate my training and experience with several modalities including attachment, cognitive behavioural & mindfulness.

In my practice I try to support the connection of feelings, thoughts and behaviours with the goal to develop the skills to manage and cope with big or strong emotions. Together we will create a plan to better understand past experiences and to mediate how they impact day to day life. We can explore personal narratives and identify steps to support desired change.
