Maybe you want to stop feeling depressed or anxious, overcome trauma, gain confidence, and grow.
My approach is to build authentic, trust-based, relationships with my clients, so that they feel safe, accepted, supported and appreciated for exactly who they are right now. In this relational setting clients are able to engage in their own therapeutic work, figure out (with some support) what they need to understand, and process traumas and stuck emotions.

I have a broad range of experience providing specialist psychotherapy to clients experiencing PTSD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, loss and anxiety.
Painful emotions can leave us feeling powerless, isolated or unheard in our communities. I provide a non-judgemental collaborative space where individuals can explore thought patterns and behaviours, so a deeper understanding can be reached. I offer compassion curiosity to all the different parts that make up the multiplicity of who you are.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck, it's important to know that you don't have to face these challenges alone.
As an integrative psychotherapist I utilise several therapeutic approaches and draw on their interventions to support my clients in achieving their goals. I meet each client as the unique individual you are. My focus is on finding the most beneficial way for you to achieve your outcomes. I'm here to help you get results not just to listen. I offer a safe, comfortable and protective environment in which we can explore concerns to do with your future, past or present that are affecting you. Therapy is about making sense of your internal world and developing a greater awareness of Self allowing you to form more meaningful connections.

I work with adults and young people and offer both short and long term therapy. Sometimes life’s challenges may feel overwhelming, emotionally exhausting or relentless and we may seek professional support to help us find our way through. Anxiety, depression, feeling lost, lonely, confused or traumatised are some of the many issues people bring. Whilst our personal stories and the reasons for our distress are ultimately as unique as we are, I have found that clients of all ages share a common goal; the desire to gain new perspectives and deeper understandings of themselves and to explore the possibilities and means of change.

You may be an adult navigating things that make life difficult (from your past or present). My aim is to help you to understand and resolve these issues and to reduce your triggers. Or you may be someone looking to support their child who is struggling. I figure out with them what is going on and we work through it in a way where they feel safe and engaged.

I will guide you gently through how we might work together. We will discuss confidentiality and answer any and all questions you might have in a relaxed space. If you would like me to, I could help in determining your goals in therapy and will make a plan to achieve these together, in the form of a type of “contract” that we work together on. Be prepared to laugh, cry, stretch, grow and reach goals you might have thought were impossible.
