I work with adults aged 18+ who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, or life changes. Many people come to therapy seeking a safe, supportive space to make sense of what they’re experiencing when things feel confusing or hard to manage alone.

Life can feel overwhelming at times - whether you're facing anxiety, low mood, trauma, addiction, or loss - and you don't have to face it alone.
I have extensive experience working with trauma, including complex trauma, PTSD, and the lasting impact of abuse, loss, and crisis. Over the years, I've supported individuals through some of the most difficult moments in their lives - including suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and addiction recovery.

Life can throw unexpected challenges at us and whether you’re working through deep grief, past trauma, or struggling with low self-worth, support is possible—and healing is real.
I believe that healing happens in a relationship where you feel safe to speak freely and be yourself. When you feel supported, understood and not alone. We’ll work together to better understand your feelings, build clarity and reconnect you with your own strength and sense of self. My approach is gentle, empathic and grounded in genuine human connection.

Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your own? You might be the person everyone relies on, but inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, or running on empty. It’s hard to admit you are struggling when you are used to being the one who "just gets on with it." ​Perhaps you lie awake at night overthinking, or feel a constant sense of dread. You might also notice you are turning to alcohol, gambling, or other habits to numb the stress, and worry these mechanisms are taking control. You want to feel calm again and regain control over your life, but you don't know how to stop the cycle ​

My main areas of expertise are suicide, trauma, and addiction, with particular interest and vast experience in working with couples with relationship problems.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a debilitating disorder that needs to be worked with carefully, sensitively but professionally. Suicidal thinking depression, and addiction can also apply, therefor experience is essential. The same can be said when working with couples, so clients can rest assured of a professional service which is respectful and empathic.

My clients range from individuals challenged by life transitions, trauma or self-limiting patterns; to couples conflicted over intimacy and communication issues; to groups seeking connection and skill-building.
With over two decades helping clients overcome life's challenges, I have cultivated compassion and wisdom through time. My career within a transpersonal frame has focused on creating a safe space for those seeking support, using action methods and expressive therapies to facilitate insight, empowerment and healing. I specialize in psychodrama, and incorporate techniques including therapeutic sandtrays containing symbolic figurines and objects for nonverbal exploration; hypnotherapy accessing the subconscious mind's powerful resources; and regression accessing the subconscious; and art providing creative self-expression.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my profile, if you are here then you are in a stage of contemplation surrounding something within you life.
