My practice is grounded in my commitment to create a safe, confidential, secure and non-judgemental environment where my clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels right for them. In our busy world, personal wellbeing is often neglected, impacting relationships and health. Therapy offers support during emotional distress or crisis, providing space to process challenges and restore balance. If you are seeking support, individual or couples therapy, I encourage you to get in touch. I offer a free initial discussion, giving you the opportunity to determine if my approach fits your needs.
I offer support across a broad range of issues, recognising that each person's circumstances and experiences are unique. My work encompasses helping clients address challenges related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I also provide support for managing stress, navigating work-related concerns and coping with loss and grief.
Together, we will take time to explore the underlying meaning behind your thoughts, feelings, and actions. By identifying and understanding recurring patterns of behaviour, with the aim of raising awareness and deepening self-understanding, together we will strive to restore a sense of self and rediscover purpose.

I work with individuals or couples to explore difficulties and challenges that they maybe facing. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
