When people seek therapy, they are often both vulnerable and resolutely clear about the need for change. With more than 25 years working in the field, I offer the safe therapeutic space of a warm, kind and welcoming presence which allows for challenge and growth. My therapeutic approach is integrative, and I understand each client and each therapy as unique. I work at your pace, honour your individuality and value your strengths. I assist my clients in a process of self-exploration and discovery that creates a greater sense of well-being, hope and insight, along with an increased flexibility to respond to life’s challenges.
I work with many issues, including anxiety, depression and stress. I have specialisms in working with difficulties related to childhood abuse/neglect, codependency, low self-esteem, trauma and addictions. I work with people from all walks of life, including those in 12 step fellowships, expats, creatives and people who are LGBTQ+.
I welcome the opportunity to e-meet, to discuss what support you might need at this time, and what I can offer to you. I am an experienced and skilled therapist who is friendly, approachable and transparent. Please feel free to ask whatever questions are important to you. I look forward to hearing from you.

"
My practice integrates Humanistic and Psychodynamic therapies. The Humanistic component emphasises the importance of feelings, and focusses on helping you to find your true 'authentic' self. The Psychodynamic component places importance on the link between the past and present, on looking at patterns in relationships/feelings and on working symbolically with the less conscious parts of self.
