As a psychotherapist, I view the therapeutic journey as a path that leads you back to yourself—a journey home. A place where you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to create that space for you within our sessions, where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. I believe that true healing occurs in an environment of acceptance and understanding. I am committed to creating a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and honestly about what you're going through. I create a space to explore your inner world at your own pace, with no pressure or expectations—only care and respect.

Throughout life we all suffer from personal, emotional and psychological issues. Usually we overcome these but sometimes we can get stuck, tangled up and become negatively affected. If you are finding yourself experiencing anxiety or depression, or struggling with any other issues, then know that help is always available. Whatever it is, I am here to listen attentively, with empathy, without any judgement, and in complete confidence. There are multiple approaches to counselling, but rather than push a particular one (that may not be suitable for you) I prefer we work together to decide which is the best way forward for you.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.
