I offer space for people who wish to explore fundamental issues. Some people are driven to counselling by a current crisis that means they need support. Others have been managing perfectly well but decide that repeating destructive patterns or underlying dissatisfaction now deserve attention. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision. This is 'counselling with a soulful perspective'. The strongest influence in the training is Jung. In this perspective, times of real difficulty or despair are seen as holding a potential for change and growth. In our work you will be heard and witnessed.

I specialise in grief counselling and loss in all its forms — including bereavement, relationship breakdown, divorce, empty nest, and life or career transitions where nothing feels the same anymore.
I work with people living through loss — not only bereavement, but the quieter, often unspoken losses that come with relationship endings and life or career transitions, especially when life no longer feels like it fits. Grief doesn’t always look how people expect. Loss can be the sense that everyone else has carried on while you feel caught somewhere in between who you were, who you are now and the future you imagined. My work sits alongside you in that space, to help you make sense of what has changed and how it’s living in you now. What tends to happen over time isn’t that the loss disappears, but that it becomes more understood.

I help children, teens and adults feel more settled, confident and connected. With young people, I use creative and relational approaches to build emotional awareness and resilience. For adults, especially teachers and caregivers, I offer space to manage stress, burnout and identity shifts. My approach is calm, compassionate and focused on helping you (or your child) feel heard and supported. My clients are often capable people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected. For children and teens, it’s anxiety, school stress or confidence struggles. For adults, it’s burnout, boundaries and finding balance again.

Therapy My focus is working towards change. Deciding to start therapy is the first step on the road to change. Change is about understanding your own patterns of behaviour and learning new ways to deal with the difficulties life often throws at us. Leaning how to make these changes enables you to deal with any issues in your life, using a whole new skill set and a new sense of self-worth and self-empowerment. There are times when everyone needs somebody to listen. As a Psychotherapist I listen objectively, with acceptance and without judgement. I provide the space to explore your feelings and understand all the choices you have,

I offer something intentional and personal. Therapy with me feels like a conversation, but clients often find it goes beyond feeling heard — they feel genuinely guided. There is direction here, not just space. Together, we untangle the roots of what's keeping you stuck, rebuild self-worth, and work toward relationships grounded in honesty and safety. The result is greater clarity, emotional freedom, and a life that feels genuinely your own.

People come to counselling/therapy for a range of issues including relationships, stress, fear or anxiety, confidence & self-esteem, procrastination, unhelpful habits or addictions & a whole range of other issues. In the beginning my role is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what you might need. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to counselling, a little about your past, to find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to live your life to your full potential.

My aim is to help you identify the areas that are difficult and then to find strategies and solutions to overcome these.

Individuals: I help clients make significant changes. You will work through issues and events that are keeping them stuck and discover more about yourself. Mostly we will engage in weekly talk therapy; but you might draw, write, or do exercises that explore different parts of you, your family, or specific life events. For couples, it could be broken trust, poor communication, or chronic arguing that brings you here. I create a setting where you can truly hear each other, not just to the words but what is underneath. I offer insights so the two of you can reach across the divide and move forward as a couple, or separately.

People consider starting therapy for a variety of challenges. Sometimes you may find yourself repeating patterns from the past, getting stuck in relationships which may not be helpful to you or you might be overwhelmed by feelings of depression or anxiety. I offer an attachment-based psychoanalytic approach to therapy, which has at its core an understanding of the importance of relationships throughout life and how problems and distress in the present may be related to early experiences. Making sense of your feelings and experiences will help you develop your own choices and resources to change your life.

The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of any work that we do. In this relationship you are given the space to speak freely. Through careful listening, creativity and challenge, you get to know yourself better. This includes understanding how you have become the person you are, as well as finding more clarity about where you want to go. The therapeutic journey allows you to see what patterns and unconscious beliefs you may feel confined by. This may relate to specific issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem or addictions, or it could be a general feeling of being stuck.

If you’re a parent worried about your child or teenager and unsure how best to support them, you’re not alone. Your child may be struggling with anxiety, emotional outbursts, low confidence, friendship difficulties or school-related stress. I work with children and teenagers who are lost inside their emotional world. And the parents who want to understand how to lead them better. Through the Selfwise framework, children learn to understand what they feel and why. Parents learn to respond with confidence instead of control. A child who knows themselves is a child who can handle the world.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
