When relationships (business, family or personal) are troubled, we can feel anxious or depressed. Whether its lack of, ending of, difficulties with or changes in relationships, at work or home, our need for human closeness both brings pleasure and causes problems. Maybe change is driven by others, maybe you need something to change but don't know the best way to go about it. Perhaps you’re finding that you’re stuck in a destructive communication pattern and feel like you’re going round in circles. Maybe you don’t really know what you want, but would like to find out. I can help.

I’m a BACP Accredited Integrative counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and EMDR practitioner, with over 14 years experience. Sometimes life can be hard, and it can be difficult to make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings, and recover from painful life events. Often talking to family and friends may be difficult for a number of reasons. This is when it can be helpful to talk to a therapist who is unbiased and separate from your life. I will provide a safe, confidential space for you, underpinned by a supportive and empathic therapeutic relationship where we can work together on your difficulties.
