Hello, and welcome. If you're struggling with drug or alcohol use and want a safe, compassionate space to regain control of your life, you're in the right place. Taking that first step can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Let me help you beat your addiction. With over 25 years’ experience, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space for healing. I’ve worked extensively in private and NHS mental health services, specialising in cocaine and ketamine misuse, and supporting clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, bereavement, and relationship breakdowns.
I’m trained in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches, allowing me to tailor therapy to your needs—whether you’re managing cravings, rebuilding confidence, or exploring the root causes of addiction. My approach is holistic and person-centred, focusing on the emotional and psychological patterns that drive behaviour.
You deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and truly understands what you're going through. As someone with lived experience of addiction, I offer empathy rooted in real understanding. Whether you're ready to begin or just exploring your options, reach out—your recovery can start with one honest, compassionate conversation.
