There's often a gap between who we are and who we want to be. You're not alone in feeling this way. My approach is friendly, non-judgmental, and always very practical. You can become a happier, healthier version of you.
My core training was in cognitive behavioural therapy. It is goal-oriented, evidence-based and effective for many people. We can connect your past experience to your present life, but you decide where to go next. I will support you to make the changes needed to feel better.
Getting therapy for the first time can feel overwhelming. From our first session together you'll have a safe space to discuss whatever it is that brought you here today. If you want to find out more, get in touch by email or phone - I look forward to hearing from you!

I often use cognitive behavioural approaches, but can use others if this will help you engage better with therapy. In the first session we'll explore what brings you into therapy & identify goals. Together we will identify thoughts & behaviours that keep you stuck in a rut, then give you the tools & support to make changes. It will always be practical and grounded in reality, not theory.
