It takes courage to seek and begin therapy, and I value and respect that. I am passionate about working with all people, however they choose to identify themselves. I work with adults, young to old. I consider each individual as a "world unto themself"; I work with your goals, your spark, your way. My goal is to help you find the tools to move towards what you most want. I'm on your side. I draw from therapies such as solution focused, trauma based, CBT and ACT. Possibility lies in the present - what we do, how we choose to act, alone and with others - this is the arena of change.
At times it is helpful to know what is affecting how we make our choices. Old habits and beliefs may limit us - how can we respond differently, to live a life of our own choosing? I offer you unconditional support and acceptance; it is essential in the movement towards contentment, integrity and personal success.
I understand from my own experience that although this work can be liberating and exciting, it can also be difficult. It takes courage. Finding a therapist you can work well with is crucial. Please feel free to contact me without cost to ask questions and tell me a little of what you are looking for. I am happy to be there for you as you begin your search.

I help you cope with these and other challenges by exploring options you may not have considered. We will look into past and present patterns of behaviour. We will explore how these affect what you perceive and do. This will encourage greater self-confidence within and closer and more fulfilling relationships without.
