Are you feeling out of balance or unsure why you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, anger, or low self-esteem? You may be coping with a loss, a relationship breakdown, a traumatic experience, or finding it difficult to communicate how you're feeling. These experiences can leave you feeling alone, overwhelmed or confused - and seeking support can be an important first step.
I offer psychodynamic counselling, providing a gentle and thoughtful space to explore past experiences, unconscious ways of being, and relationship patterns that may be influencing your present life. Working with sensitivity and compassion, I support clients in developing greater self-awareness and insight, enabling them to make more conscious choices.
I believe deeply in each person’s innate capacity for growth, creativity and change. Being attuned to how personal history, identity and relationships shape emotional life, I work collaboratively with clients to explore both challenges and strengths.
