I have over 25 years of experience helping adults to make lasting change. Building a trusting relationship with a therapist who makes you feel understood is the most important basis for any work towards change and growth. There is a lot of self-help material out there, and most people work hard to try things on their own to feel better. But doing all this alone can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming or rather stuck if nothing seems to be working. If that is the case for you, I hope that you will reach out and we can work together to make sense of things and empower you to be able to make the changes you seek.
I specialise in recovery from trauma, struggles with sense of self, anxiety, depression, loss of focus or meaning in life, dissociation, and symptoms of ADHD. I have specialist training in neuropsychology, trauma therapy and somatic or embodied intelligence. I am available for online therapy usually in weekly or fortnightly sessions with booster follow-ups.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental attitude and insightful mind to help you get to the bottom of issues that may have been around for a long time, or to focus on alleviating current symptoms and equipping you with tools to stay well. I tailor my approach to suit your needs drawing on accredited trainings and experience in various clinical methods.

I help people work with problems such as overthinking, anxiety attacks, procrastination, poor sleep and low motivation. It usually helps to go beyond these surface signs to tackle the reasons why you feel you're not able to thrive and enjoy life. I help people feel more truly themselves and more alive and resilient with tools to cope. They tell me they feel stronger, more confident and hopeful.
