Are things getting on top of you, so that your day to day living is a struggle, and your relationships with others are strained? Do you feel like past, or current, events are effecting how you cope with life today? I help people feel more confidence in their relationships by identifying the hurdles that are holding them back. I help people to find peace of mind by managing their anxiety or low mood. I support people through their bereavement to enable them to enjoy life again. Let me help you to make sense of your difficulties, so that you can connect more positively with your loved ones and the world.
I offer a robust, adventurous practice influenced by trust in my instinct and experience. I provide a non-defensive practice based in an attitude of openness, generosity, negotiation, spontaneity and relational availability and a recognition and acceptance of appropriate risk.
I believe that the counselling relationship we build can offer richness, depth and potential for change as well as a more respectful way of relating.

My approach is trauma informed (mainly sensorimotor and internal family systems), so you will experience working collaboratively to help you make sense of your most confusing, puzzling and even shameful symptoms; to support your recovery by providing you with ways to recognize the living legacy of traumatic experience as it affects your day-to-day life; and to practice new habits of response.
