Do you want to explore your thoughts and feelings within the safety of a therapeutic relationship? Why Psychotherapy?

Are you seeking a safe space with an experienced psychologist? You might be feeling overwhelmed, low, frustrated, guilty, or anxious. Perhaps you feel you've lost part of your identity, impacting on your sense of purpose and self-worth. I know it can be incredibly hard to express what you truly feel and need to others. I offer a compassionate space for you to work through current issues, as well as difficulties from your past. I specialise in supporting people with long-term conditions (e.g. chronic pain, cancer, diabetes), and also work with a range of wider issues (e.g. PTSD and trauma).

Perhaps you feel stuck, find yourself in the middle of a crisis, or you want a space in which to examine and reflect on your own story and what has brought you to the point you're at now. Perhaps you want to see if there is another way of telling your story. My intention is to grow a unique and collaborative relationship with you. We may work on your present situation as well as the whole of your history. The confidential space that therapy provides can bring healing of old patterns and wounds. It is my own wounds and periods of suffering and the growth that arose from those moments that have drawn me to this work.

Hello. Choosing a counsellor or therapist can be a daunting experience at what may be already a difficult time for you. In a nutshell, I offer a confidential and collaborative space where you can bring whatever thoughts, feelings, behaviours or circumstances that may be troubling you. Together we can explore what's going on, at a pace that's right for you. I can support you to come to terms with who you are and what's happened in your life, so you can become who you want to be.

Over the last 14 years I have helped many people achieve a sense of well being, integration and wholeness in their personal & professional life. I can help you achieve the same. Life does not need to be a struggle. The process begins with you taking that scary first step to have an initial session or even just to call me to have a chat. In this first session or chat you can experience me and how I work and if we are a good fit, we can take it from there. I look forward to talking to you.

Have you been feeling lonely and isolated? Have those feelings impacted the way you perceive and connect with the world and people around you? Sometimes you may feel that difficult experiences from your past still haunt you, leaving very little space in your mind to be in the present. And it may feel hard to recognise the way you have been feeling lately. The mood swing, anxious and depressing feelings feel hard to manage. It can be daunting having to deal with confusing feelings and sensations and so much on your won, when you are just trying to be true to yourself.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, problems in relationships or some more elusive trouble that is difficult to name? There are many situations that prompt people to seek help when they encounter a problem in living and struggle to find a way through confusion and emotional suffering. Talking things trough helps. As a therapist, my primary concern is to create a warm and respectful relationship that would provide support as well as encourage you to express your feelings and reflect upon what is going on for you. Rather than being a neutral observer, I seek to involve myself in your effort to deal with your distress.

Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.

Do you struggle with your self-esteem? Do you feel like an imposter sometimes? Maybe you identify as a people pleaser. Perhaps you are living with the frustration of feeling like people don't know the real you, because of anxiety getting in the way. A simple interaction to others might feel like a mountain to you. Perhaps you may reach for that glass of wine to help you relax into social situations. Maybe you are finding yourself running over conversations in your head and criticising how you came across? Perhaps that critical voice in your head is coming out to tell you you weren't good enough, and should have done better.

If you’re searching this site it’s almost certainly because something in life is getting on top of you. It might be a worry you can’t stop thinking about. Or a more general sense of unease. Perhaps it’s worse than that and you can barely get out of bed in the morning or are turning more and more to addictions of one kind or another — food, social media, alcohol, porn, drugs — just to get through the day. You might be struggling in the aftermath of a bereavement. Or unsure what to do next in a difficult relationship. Perhaps it’s at work that you feel most stuck. Therapy can be very helpful for dealing with issues like these.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
