I help people to overcome their past, so that they can embrace their future. So often, the things we are struggling with in life, can be linked back to our early life experiences or difficult life events, which can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships with others and our overall well being. My goal is to help my clients understand and make sense of their past experiences and explore how their current difficulties may fit into this. I help them to learn new skills and break old patterns so that they can reclaim the life that they want.

Feeling stressed, tense or worried at certain times in life is a normal human response. For some people, anxiety becomes overwhelming and persists to the point that fear significantly impacts daily life which can lead to low mood and low self-esteem. Anxiety can also develop into more specific areas such as social anxiety, panic attacks or OCD. If you experience any of these and would like to learn to manage your symptoms then I can help. I have experience and I am qualified to treat people with Long Term Health Conditions and also have significant expertise in treating Depression, Specific Phobias, Health Anxiety and PTSD.
