When we are truly heard and understood, these difficult feelings can begin to seem more manageable and our worries no longer insurmountable.
I am a qualified, experienced counsellor. My practice is integrative, meaning I can draw upon different theoretical influences to best support you. I recognise that we are all unique individuals and my therapeutic approach allows for fluidity within our work, enabling me to be adaptive and responsive while we explore what might be going on for you together.

I specialise in: substance abuse disorders; addiction; PTSD and childhood trauma; men's well-being; workplace stress and anxiety.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. Usually, they've tried to deal with their issues and problems by themselves and managed to get by or cope. Sometimes, these burdens feel too much to bear and what used to work no longer does. If you are feeling stuck, powerless, and exhausted maybe counselling can help. "You can not heal what has not been revealed" as the saying goes - so being in an environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings without humiliation, shame, or guilt is the first step in ridding yourself of the burdens that are holding you back.

Typically, this approach can be powerfully effective in dealing with the pervasive problems of stress, anxiety and depression and other chronic issues where rigid patterns of avoidant behaviour have developed.
I specialise in mindfulness informed approaches to therapy - specifically acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT. My earlier training background was humanistic and this has integrated seamlessly into this cutting edge behaviour change therapy.

You may appear composed and successful, yet beneath the surface feel an unrelenting pressure, cycles of stress, burnout, or emotion that no longer respond to willpower or routine solutions. Perhaps you’ve achieved much, yet something vital still feels unresolved. You may have tried therapy before, only to find it didn’t reach the depth you needed. I work with individuals who value insight, precision, and meaningful change. My specialisms include trauma therapy, EMDR, executive therapy, and addiction recovery.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, yet inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or exhausted from overthinking.
I’m particularly interested in how childhood experiences and relationships shape who we are today. By exploring the past and how it connects to the present, we can build understanding, name emotions, and find ways to move forward.
