In couples therapy we will explore issues that are affecting your relationship and develop healthy strategies.
Are you struggling to navigate through these challenging times? Anxious, at a cross-roads in your life, relationship issues, menopause, bereavement or simply out of sorts and need someone to talk to. I am here to listen and help you unravel the issues that are holding you back from living a more fulfilling life. The outcome can be life changing - it is a journey of self-awareness, self-discovery and empowerment. Your feelings matter and you deserve to be heard, respected and live your life the way you want to live it.

  I like to work using our relationship, and do this in a warm and empathic way.
I believe that the therapist and client come together as a team to work through issues that may stand in the way of you reaching your potential. Through my training, I have mainly used Transactional Analysis, but also have some experience working in a solution-focussed way and like to work integratively as each person is an individual who may like to work in a different way. I work with people on a range of issues, but find that I work with people with anxiety or depression most commonly, and pride myself on working hard to make people feel at ease.

Effective counselling relies on the therapeutic relationship of client & therapist.
Counselling/ Psychotherapy: Effective counselling reduces confusion, allowing you to make effective decisions leading to positive changes in your attitude, behaviours & overall well-being. The ultimate aim of counselling is to enable you to make your own choices, reach your own decisions & go forward with a greater sense of clarity & self-management. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility during which positive suggestions are made to rid you of emotional blockage. Mindfulness keeps us focused
