My training is in Solution Focused Therapy and I work with clients to address a variety of issues. I work with individuals and Couples.
Solution Focused therapy uses a combination of techniques and questions to help enable clients to think about how they want to use therapy to achieve their goals and to make positive changes in their lives. I like to have a brief initial chat with each client before we start work together so I can introduce myself and we can discuss the client's needs and Best Hopes for therapy.

Much of my work centres on the quiet ways people lose contact with themselves.
Over twenty years of practice, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: people who were once alive to their own desires and possibilities grow quieter and more guarded because something happened along the way. Not broken. Just contracted.
I care not only about what caused that contraction, but what it feels like to live inside it. We work with mind and embodied experience — thought and feeling together — gently reconnecting them when they’ve come apart, so new possibilities can begin to come into view.

While we all deserve to have a life that we feel secure in and a future that we can look forward to, in reality there are times when this simply isn't the case. It might be that we look for help with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression, or a little nagging voice at the back of the mind that says that now is the right time to talk to someone. Or perhaps something quite clear and traumatic has happened. Working together, therapy can become a way of finding the words to make sense of confusing experiences.
