Are you constantly experiencing relationship challenges, leaving you feeling distressed, bewildered, let down and perhaps angry and self-blaming for repeating these patterns? It can be utterly devastating to keep finding ourselves stuck in this way. Whether in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships or work situations, I can support you to explore the origins of these difficult issues, leading to healthier relationships with others. I can help with life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, loss, grief, challenging relationships and more. Also, those in the Creative/Performing Arts Community or Film/ Media.
I specialise in all types of relationships. I can listen to you deeply and validate your experience. This can help you to heal, develop improved self-worth and feel able to implement healthy boundaries. I have significant experience of working with many clients, with very varied issues, including those who have experienced abusive and neglectful childhoods.
I can offer you the opportunity to feel really heard and understood. I will respect your individuality, whilst drawing on my significant experience, to help you develop greater awareness of yourself and others, leading to healthier life choices. I might challenge your reality where appropriate, whilst offering you much compassion and support along the way.
