Hello, I’m a fully qualified Psychotherapist working with adults and young people to help improve well-being and quality of life. I offer short or longer term therapy depending on your needs and wants. If you are feeling low in mood, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in some way, psychotherapy can help. I firmly believe that we each have the potential to change, grow and heal when we are offered the right support. I have worked with a broad range of people on the issues that are important to them. Themes have included anxiety, depression, complex trauma, loss, neurodiversity, relationship difficulties, addiction, among many others.
I offer a warm and genuine relationship based on trust, respect and compassion. Together we can explore the issues that are important to you, at a pace that is right for you. Gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves can cultivate self-compassion and boost our self-esteem, empowering us to discover better and more fulfilling ways of living and coping.
I understand that considering counselling can feel daunting and takes courage. Finding the therapist that is right for you is important - you might try a few before finding the right one. Please feel welcome to contact me by phone/email for an initial conversation, to get a sense of what working together may feel like and to see if I'm a good 'fit' for you.
