With over 24 years experience, I am extremely passionate about helping and supporting people to improve their emotional wellbeing and mental health in today’s world where there are so many stresses and strains. I provide a safe, warm and empathic space, where we will work closely together to understand the difficulties you may be experiencing so that we can make sense of these and move towards change. I believe sincerely in evidenced-based talking therapies and the power they have to facilitate this. I offer individual therapy for children, adolescents and adults, and therapy for couples and families too.
I have a wealth of experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, bereavement, conflictual relationships, low self-esteem, emotional regulation and neurodivergence. I offer CBT, IPT, ACT, NVR, EMDR, DBT and systemic practice, and work collaboratively with my clients to determine which feels the best fit for them.
I adopt a holistic, person-centred, compassionate approach to therapy based on the needs of the people I am working with. I am mindful that within a therapeutic relationship a person must feel safe and contained so that they are able to share and feel held. If you feel ready to begin your therapuetic journey today please do get in contact for a consultation.
