Hello and welcome. Perhaps you are anxious, sad or overwhelmed. Maybe you want to make sense of confusing or painful experiences. Perhaps life is feeling really difficult right now and you're not sure how to move forward. I offer a space away from the pressures of everyday life where you can come to understand yourself better, find new perspectives and different ways of responding to life's inevitable challenges. Each counselling relationship is unique and I aim to work with whatever you bring in a way that feels supportive and empathic.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in establishing sustainable relationships to self, others and the world in which we dwell. Through a creative, body based approach, I can offer you a space to meet what is challenging or what weighs upon you and nourish what helps you feel well, resourced and grounded. In our sessions you can expect talking, moving, art making and creative writing but the way the sessions unfold will be guided by you and your process.

Are you struggling with intimacy, sexual confidence, or feeling disconnected from your partner or your own body? Difficulties with sex and relationships are incredibly common, but many people feel too ashamed or anxious to talk about them. This can be from a combination of how sex was talked about in your household, your sex education, early sexual experiences and unpleasant sexual experiences. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to move forward.
