Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings and emotions you can't understand? Do you struggle with relationships or feel isolated and alone? Do you have a difficult relationship with food? Have you harmed yourself or struggled with thoughts of ending your life? Have you experienced trauma, abuse, violence or loss? Have you turned to drugs or alcohol to help cope with difficult memories? Are you going through work stress or chronic pain? I will work with you to explore your feelings and help develop an understanding of your experiences in relation to the whole person that you are, working towards building a different and brighter future.
I am a GP and a psychotherapist. I have many years experience in helping people with a broad range of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and self harm. I have a special interest in supporting people with drug and alcohol problems and have expertise in working with people who have experienced abuse and domestic violence.
I understand that starting therapy can feel like embarking on a journey into the unknown. It’s true that we cannot know what we will discover when we start to look inside ourselves. At times this can feel frightening or uncomfortable. I will share this journey with you, at your pace, and create a safe space for you to explore your experiences and emotions.
