If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, low or unsure how to move forward, therapy can offer a safe place to talk and make sense of what you’re going through. I offer a warm, steady presence where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I bring decades of experience working with children, young people and adults through stress, loss, trauma, grief, relationship issues and major life changes. I also have specific experience working alongside people with addictions. My approach is compassionate and grounded, focused entirely on helping you feel understood, supported and more in control of your life
As an Integrative Counsellor, I use Cognitive Behaviour Analysis, TA, Gestalt, Mindfulness and IFS to support you with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief and addiction. My approach is steady, compassionate and always focused on helping you make sense of your feelings and move forward with greater clarity towards a more grounded life.
Starting therapy is a big step, and it’s important to feel safe and understood. If you feel I may be the right therapist for you, I’d be glad to talk things through and support you as you explore what's going on for you. You deserve a space where your feelings can be heard and held. I offer clients a free initial phone conversation so feel free to reach out

I'm particularly interested in the deeper patterns that guide our emotional life - the parts of us that get stuck, the parts that long for change, and the quiet glimmers of hope that begin to appear when we slow down and really listen. My work is gentle, relational and grounded, and supports clients as they move through their own process of inner transformation.

I draw from person-centred, relational and depth-focused approaches. Sessions feel calm, steady and attuned to you. We explore your thoughts, feelings and body responses at your own pace, noticing patterns, easing overwhelm and gently supporting the inner changes that help you feel clearer, stronger and more grounded
