I focus on the connection between the body and emotions. In my practice, I can offer auricular acupuncture to support overall well-being.
My approach is person-centred, integrative. I understand that various approaches can be confusing, but I have provided a brief statement below on how I work.
My approach holds the belief that each individual knows themselves best and has the potential for personal growth.
This growth is supported by our relationship and the environment we create together, where we begin to explore and challenge beliefs, attitudes and behaviours towards self and your relationships with others and the world.

Whether it is depression and anxiety, drug or alcohol use, bereavement or relationship issues, I will support you in a non judgmental manner to navigate the process of change.
For most of my career I have worked in frontline services both as a case worker and then as a manager. I became frustrated at the limitations of my role and grew tired of the politics between organisations and services. I then trained as a counsellor to gain a deeper understanding of the problems that people were approaching me with. I qualified in 2019 in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy. I would describe my approach as relational. This means that I work with you in a collaborative way to understand your subjective experiencing of the world you inhabit.

Are you feeling really low and depressed and anxious but don't know why? You are stuck and do not know how to overcome this feeling....Thinking about counselling can be quite daunting and not knowing what to expect can be quite frightening.

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. If you've a problem, then I want to do what I can to help with any immediate impact this is giving you, as well as down the line organising it better so it's less of a long-term issue. People have come to me over the last eight years as they've felt stuck, worried or alone with something troubling them. Maybe it's been a recent situation that's brought this about, or maybe it's been incrementally building up over time and it's affecting too many areas of their lives. This is about finding better ways of coping that are less maladaptive, but also, if necessary, to perhaps unlock a core issue.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
