Are you asking big questions of life, feeling lost, hopeless or stuck? Maybe you are facing unwanted changes or undergoing a big transition in your life. Perhaps you are having difficulties in relationships or struggling to connect to purpose. Or maybe, you are experiencing chronic physical symptoms, such as fatigue, and you are curious how your emotions and past might impact those symptoms. It takes courage to seek out therapy. I hope you can honour that impulse in yourself and find the right person to work with. You have innate strength, goodness and resourcefulness; counselling is a way to undercover your unique wholeness.

Whatever the reason you are seeking therapy I will offer a safe and non-judgmental space for us to explore the difficulties you might be facing in your life. I bring a relational and empathic approach to the work. In other words, I am simply myself and I welcome whoever you are and whatever you may wish to bring. I believe such a relationship can prove to be the reparative foundation for the change and growth you seek.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

The therapy hour is a time for someone to simply be who they are, an experience that is surprisingly difficult to have in a world filled with harsh demands, expectations, and at times tragedies. Often the people I work with have found themselves stuck in difficult patterns of feeling, thought and behavior that they find to be out of their control, preventing this experience of simply being themselves. We use words like anxiety, depression, and disorder to describe these patterns. As a therapist my aim is to help introduce a greater sense of freedom and control over one’s own life within a space where moral judgments have no place.

We all long for a connection in which we are never reduced or misunderstood. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, through which we develop a deeper self-awareness, can recognize patterns and make kinder, more positive choices for ourselves and those around us. By bringing awareness and understanding to what is causing us pain or problems, we can learn to move away from self-defeating patterns of survival and towards a new future aligned with our inner integrity. Psychosynthesis works holistically, nurturing synergy between all parts of your personality, enhance introspection, build ego strength and foster resilience.

I work with people in their 20’s and 30’s whose anxiety and overthinking impact their relationships, work, and other areas of life. Maybe you appear calm or ‘fine’ to others, but internally you’re feeling stressed and tired. Maybe anxiety gets in the way of what you want or need to do - this may look like procrastinating, struggling to say ‘no’ or what you really mean, or finding it difficult to make decisions because you worry you won’t do things the ‘right’ way. Your usual coping strategies may be to stay busy and just push through without asking for help, but this comes at a cost: you’re likely exhausted.
