I am person centred and I work with your mind and body. Do you feel life is hard? Does it seem like everyone else is confident—careers, relationships, confidence—while you’re left feeling anxious or sad or frustrated? If you are finding this, you’re not alone. I offer a calm, supportive space to help you reconnect with your path forward. I'll explore your goals and increase your confidence. We will build a therapeutic alliance. Together, we can move towards a life that feels authentic and meaningful. This is your time to pause, reflect in a safe and supported space, and gently shape new paths together. Why not send me a contact?
I use person-centred therapy and I take a whole person biopsychosocial approach i.e. I provide evidence based therapy and rehabilitation that is appropriate for you, your mind, your lifestyle, your physical body and health status, your social world, your home, and your life. I can help you find balance, achieve your goals, and be content and healthy.
We can have a completely free remote, relaxed and friendly chat. I welcome you to explore if you can work with me, without any pressure from me. Whatever happens, I enjoy meeting new people, anyway. Also, I run a not-for-profit service, so you can tell me how much you want to invest in your future and we can find ways to meet your needs.

Integrative CBT and CFT approaches to overcoming psychological barriers to doing things, and I have been doing this for 9 years. You can expect collaboration, structure, and will learn how to recognise emotions and thoughts and behaviours that are holding you back, and you will develop some new coping skills you can take forward into your future independently and into the life you want to lead.
