I work relationally, which means that, through the therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to understand how early experiences and past relationships impact on your present difficulties.

Of special interest to me is how unresolved and traumatic experiences can be healed and transformed by a greater integration of the mind and body.

I believe that therapy can help you see your current situation in a new light, with more depth and clarity.

Therapy comes in all different shapes and sizes and I believe the mode of therapy should fit the client, we are all individuals after all. I put you, the client at the centre of the work and believe that together we can work collaboratively to help you mange your life more happily and successfully.
