I am a therapist working with adults to better understand and improve the relationship they have with themselves and others. As a person-centred, psychotherapeutic counsellor, I work with clients contending various issues. These may include anxiety, depression, grief and anger or be in relation to a personal or global situation or event, family or a specific relationship. You might feel stuck, unable to imagine a time when this will change. Carl Jung said: “Problems are not solved, they are outgrown”. Seeking support reflects your continued desire to grow.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you will be met with a compassionate ear and genuine connection, supporting you on your journey toward a more autonomous and joyful life. I take a holistic view, understanding clients as whole individuals, beyond the immediate struggles that brought them to therapy.
In a non-judgmental, secure and respectful space, we build a therapeutic relationship that supports clients to express themselves fully. Through honest reflection and collaboration, clients are empowered to explore their beliefs, feelings, and behaviours. As self-acceptance deepens, clients become more open to spontaneity, awareness, and intimacy.

My integrative, person-centred approach tailors methods to each client's unique need. For me, therapy is a collaborative exercise. I believe in nurturing our innate drive towards self-realisation, healing and growth - what the Greeks called Physis. I work together with clients to help them understand their inner world and identify the changes needed for positive growth.

My integrative practice is designed to foster self-healing and personal growth within a therapeutic environment. I see client and therapist as equals, each bringing their own unique skill and expertise. I'm interested in the here and now, past experiences and our unconscious mind that shape us. I help clients better understand and regulate their physiological and emotional states.
