Hello, and welcome to my profile, thank you for coming. Clicking here means you have already made the first step towards the changes you want to make in your life, or towards the help you need and deserve. It's not easy and takes courage, so I applaud you. I believe in psychotherapy because, for most people, life is hard! We struggle with how we feel about ourselves, with relationships with others, with managing difficult feelings and experiences in life. Speaking to a well qualified and experienced psychotherapist can make all the difference. I offer an empathic, warm and safe space in which you can explore what is troubling you.

I specialize in working with couples. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or feeling disconnected, counselling offers a space for both of you to explore challenges and create meaningful change together. Relationships are complex, shaped by shared history, individual experiences, and the way we respond to one another. Sometimes, uncovering patterns from the past can lead to powerful breakthroughs in the present. I also work with individuals, helping to address a wide range of issues. The act of naming and exploring a challenge in a safe, non-judgmental space can bring relief and open the door to lasting growth.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself—carrying old wounds, facing anxiety, depression, or navigating difficult life transitions. Perhaps you’re not in crisis but sense something’s off, and you long for more clarity and peace. You want a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can explore your feelings, understand your inner experience, and reconnect with your true self. Your goal is to heal, build inner safety, and live authentically—feeling more whole, grounded, and equipped to move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

Extreme trauma exists in PTSD but in some way all of us experience trauma from the school bully to the manager who does not listen. We all have states of anxiety and depression. What is a normal state and how do we know if we are heading for a breakdown. What is a balanced happy life? We can have control of some things in our life and other things come along and smack us in the face. What therapy with me does is give you a space for observation without personal judgement or criticism , just questions from me so that I understand your motivations and help shape your goals. Sometimes your answers are in the past, often in the present.

I provide an open, warm and confidential space which enables clients to explore issues, which may have been difficult to deal with alone. I view therapy as an individual process and a journey of self discovery that create an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Hence, I incorporate integrative approach that means I can adapt therapy to each client and their individual needs. I can offer help and have worked with people struggling with a range of conditions including depression, anxiety or adjustment.

At various points in our lives, we all experience feelings, thoughts and events that we find challenging. You might be feeling anxious or depressed, finding it difficult to come to terms with something that has happened in the past, or worried about what the future will bring. Perhaps you feel stuck in a difficult situation, or caught between what seem like impossible choices. You may be seeking an opportunity to think about who you are, what is important to you, and the kind of life you want to lead.
