I provide a safe, affirming space for you the client to explore your world . Counselling can be emotional support for day to day struggles with low mood and anxious feelings, or historical work through trauma, childhood and relational experiences. If you are at a crossroad in your life, as your counsellor, I will stand alongside you, with unconditional positive regard and non judgement, to help you to discover your strength from within. Understanding and acceptance of aspects of ourselves including who we once were, and who we are now, can provide the opportunity for growth into the most authentic version of yourself.

Are you plagued by intrusive thoughts, constant doubts, uncertainty and anxiety?
Do you look for relief from compulsions that control your life but can’t find a way out? You find yourself checking, ruminating, counting and looking for answers when there aren’t any. Perhaps you’ve tried talking therapies before but it didn’t work - now you want specific support for OCD from someone who knows how to help.
I primarily support people who struggle with OCD and all of the consequences that go alongside such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, anger, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, self harm, relationship difficulties and loss.

I love helping people to improve their lives. So many of us carry emotional burdens, anxieties and traumas that hold us back, inhibit our happiness and impact on our relationships, and yet there is much that can be done to relieve and even resolve this pain. Through my psychotherapy practice I have been able to help many people to live their lives more fully; helping people with self esteem, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, resentment, and many other forms of emotional pain. I help people make important life decisions, find new directions and begin to realise their potential. I'd love to see how I can help you.

Welcome to my profile. I work with adults and young people, individuals and couples who are struggling in their relationships—whether romantic, family, friendships, or at work. You may feel stuck in repeating patterns, experience conflict or distance, or find it hard to communicate your needs. Some clients come feeling hurt, rejected, or unsure of their role in relationships. Together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. I help you understand patterns, strengthen communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. Psychotherapy and counselling is often called the 'talking cure'. People often value such help during a time of transition and change, crisis or loss when it is difficult to know 'what to do'? I believe it is always possible to improve the way in which people tackle their problems and to use times of difficulty to make changes for the better.

I believe that our capacity to cope with issues that arise in adult life, whether this is how we experience the world, relate to others, cope with difficult situations or understand and manage what can often be overwhelming emotions, is ultimately bound up with our early experiences. Whether we wish to or not we carry our history with us and sometimes this does not provide the strong foundation needed to engage and embrace life or weather its storms. I work with clients to recognise the origins of their difficulties so that together we might arrive at a place where life is understandable, and they feel both validated and valued.
