Are the things that are hard in life at the moment getting in the way of the life you want to live? Are your usual ways of coping with difficulties no longer working for you? Are you ready to explore your feelings and why you act and react in certain ways? It can be hard to know if it is the 'right' time to begin therapy especially if you are new to this type of support, but if you answered yes to these questions it could be time to think about support through therapy. Together we can find a way to help you or your loved ones through what is difficult right now. Change is hard, but you don't have to do it alone.
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 20yrs experience providing evidence-based psychological therapy, assessment and consultation. I aim to help you achieve meaningful and lasting change in your life through my flexible and integrative approaches which draw from a number of psychological models. My goal is to help you 'Thrive not Survive'.
Which professional should you choose? This is important because the relationship you have with your therapist is the foundation upon which all other aspects of therapy and its effectiveness rely. Everybody is different, so finding someone who fits for you is important. Take your time and do a bit of research as it will be worth it in the long run.
