Whether you're feeling sad, suffering with panic and anxiety or finding life meaningless, I’m here to listen. Most of us feel emotionally challenged at times and we can often feel unnecessarily overwhelmed when we stop sharing our thoughts and emotions with others.

I work collaboratively and offer an empathetic, confidential, non-judgemental space for you to talk openly at a pace that suits you. I will be present when listening to you and I always tailor my approach to suit you as an individual.

Warmth, empathy, non-judgemental acceptance, scientific rigour and humour are at the heart of my approach to therapy. I work using only the latest psychological science, principally through state of the art CBT methods known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ("ACT"). CBT/ACT aims to give clients a therapeutic fishing rod, not just a fish, so that clients are helped to become CBT/ACT experts, their own therapists for the future. I also offer EMDR, a ground-breaking therapy for trauma. Therapy can be challenging, but more often it should be healing, uplifting, enriching and fun.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
