I work with adults and children and young people. I have a special interest and experience working with neuro-divergence. It may be that you have recently started to understand what makes you who you are, or it may be that you have known for a long time. We can all benefit from a compassionate space to explore our inner experience with another. With children and young people, I offer creative therapies and am very happy to be flexible in approach.
I am a highly intuitive, sensitive person. I work from a person-centred approach to create a therapeutic relationship based on trust, allowing you to feel safe to talk about anything that is bothering you. I work very well with anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief, relationship difficulties and low mood, autism, ADHD and HSP.
I offer you a warm welcome and a calm space to feel heard, as the unique individual you are, free from judgment. I can offer you a free 20 minute initial telephone consultation prior to meeting.
