I help people through stress, depression, anxiety, disordered eating and relationship difficulties.
I work with an integrative approach, which means I am trained in three different types of therapy: person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic. My approach is to work together authentically and collaboratively with you, listening to your unique and wonderful stories. I've helped people from all walks of life navigate their circumstances.

As well as trauma you may be suffering problems in your life that are holding you back, leading you to feel stressed, stuck, anxious or depressed or you feel like you are stuck in a cycle with no-one to talk to.
I trained a as counsellor for a number of reasons - I believe everyone should be able to talk about their problems freely without judgement. I have encountered a traumatic event, and I also know first hand the full extent of what addictions can do to the person and the wider family, coupled with life challenges. Not everything can be taught from a book.
