Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself overthinking everything, feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted from always holding it together, struggling in your relationships, or carrying experiences from your past that continue to affect your present. As a relational integrative therapist, I believe healing happens through feeling safe, heard and understood. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to your individual needs, recognising that every person’s experiences are unique. I also value the connection between mind and body, taking a holistic view of emotional wellbeing.

Anxious? Depressed? Drinking too much? Over using recreational drugs? Relationships suffering? I use a hypno-psychotherapeutic approach to help you safely & supportively recreate unwanted, feared scenarios, such as the above, before re-stepping into them but this time forewarned and forearmed. I am Integratively trained so this means I have trained in many modalities so I can get you to where you really want to be not where you habitually return to as if it's an inevitability you can do nothing about. You can & I'll show you how. Never mind the why it's about the how. It's about what you want, NOT what you don't! My door's open....

With 25 years of experience in counselling & psychotherapy I aim to help couples & individuals understand emotions and how to get more from their relationships. Some want to renew a long gone passion and others are just fighting to stay together - the answer is often found by looking at new ways to communicate with each other rather than fixing a disagreement. There will be reasons for your behaviour that make sense and I will help you to uncover these throughout our sessions together. You may have an ‘arguing style’ and by looking more deeply, at your inner hurt and anger, we will be able to discover what is really going on.

You’ve already done the hard part by being here. Now let’s talk about what working with me really looks like. I am a relational, solution-focused therapist this means  I actively work with you to create meaningful change. Much of my work focuses on anxiety, LGBTQIA+, childhood trauma and attachment, and how those early experiences continue to shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today.  Therapy with me isn’t about endless circling or sticking plasters. It’s about uncovering what’s really going on, making sense of it together, and building practical, lasting strategies so you can move forward with confidence.
