As a dedicated Relationship, Individual and Psychosexual Therapist, I specialise in guiding individuals in improving their relationships. Everyone, whether in a relationship or not, deserves to reach their full potential for contentment and satisfaction in life. Throughout my work, I've discovered that communication gaps and a lack of self-awareness and understanding often strain relationships to breaking point. My mission is to support you in finding that delicate balance – whether in life, relationships, or the realm of intimacy. Don't Let Your Idea Of A Great Relationship Be Just A Dream, Let Me Help You To Make It Your Reality.

I provide a safe therapeutic space in which the problems and mysteries of being human can be explored respectfully and creatively. My aim is to bring insight and understanding to the challenges in your life, facilitating growth and change. My approach is collaborative but you would remain in control, determining the pace of therapy, the material you bring, when and how we address deeply painful or traumatic issues, the duration of your therapy and eventually how we end it.

We can all find our lives get difficult as events and emotions come and go: these are often left unprocessed until we give ourselves time to think and talk about them. You may be very unhappy or may just be feeling some discontent, or at a crossroads, lacking motivation or direction. My aim is to help you explore all or any area of your life and work out what the future might hold. W H Auden, in his poem in memory of Sigmund Freud, referred to 'a world he changed / simply by looking back with no false regrets'; like him, having explored both the past and the present, I hope you will feel 'able to approach the Future as a friend'.

I utilise a blend of positive psychotherapeutic enquiry and solution focussed approaches, to identify and reframe the cause of limiting beliefs and behaviours. I tailor my approach and work with individuals and couples. Whether you need to overcome a traumatic experience, difficulties in relationships, self esteem, anxiety or coaching to provide skills to transition through life, manage a situation or perform at your best. Building an independent, safe and trusting environment for you to explore issues and challenges in life: both work and/or personal is important for me.

I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion and simply need to talk. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and begin to understand where it began: Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and kind. My purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find purpose, meaning and peace in your life.

I see clients from across all ages, ethnicities and with an extremely wide range of issues. I help clients to come to grips with substance abuse, depression, all forms of anxiety and much more besides. I help my clients to summon the strength to put their issues behind them. I help them to find new ways of feeling, thinking and behaving. Whatever their goals might be, I help them to realise that they're strong enough, good enough and able to achieve them. I particularly specialise in working with clients on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum.

I offer a caring and non-judgmental relationship in which you can explore the issues, experiences, thoughts and feelings that have brought you to seek help. We will explore the situations and challenges you are facing in your life. Speaking about what is difficult is the beginning of feeling better. Core Process Psychotherapy combines the wisdom and compassion of Buddhism with western approaches to psychology. This compassionate and relational approach emphasises our wholeness, and our inherent resilience and balance - however hidden these qualities may sometimes seem. I work with both individuals and couples.
