I understand that you invest your time, money and energy into therapy; and I want you to get the most from this investment in Yourself. I offer an integrated therapeutic approach that is tailored to your needs. By using evidence-based strategies scientifically proven to be effective in therapy I can support you in better understanding experiences that may have shaped you, but also in creating change in behaviours or thinking patterns that do not serve you.

Are you feeling somewhat lost or stuck? Perhaps overwhelmed? And it seems hard to go on? Or past pain is bubbling too close to the surface, again? And you think life could be different, and you still have those dreams... In such times we all need compassionate and effective care from someone with wisdom, therapeutic experience and specialized training. I've been there and since I've been on a quest for ways that work at all levels of human experience, with lasting results for the whole person. I let my intellectual curiosity and intuition lead the way and it proved so worth it.

I have been working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist for over 26 years. I believe that the most important aspect in any therapeutic process is the relationship between the client and the therapist. Through the use of our relationship, I would aim to help you work through the issues you are bringing, regardless of how difficult they might appear to be. Using the trust between us, I would aim to help you come to an understanding for yourself of internal and interpersonal difficulties that have been around with a view to being more accepting of yourself in relation to yourself and others around you.

You are the queen of unrealised potential. Sadly there are no prizes for nearly making it and your life feels half finished. As if someone started to take charge and then tailed off somewhere in the middle. Although you are by all observations successful, you know that deep down you could do more and that disappoints you. You don't want to live your life in fits and starts but despite your obvious intelligence, you have not yet figured out how to keep going at a steady pace. Instead you live this 'half in, half out' existence which frustrates and bores you. You don't know how to turn this around and that makes you want to give up.
