With 25 years specialising in addiction treatment, I combine frontline clinical expertise with academic leadership as a university lecturer in counselling and psychotherapy. I have developed and refined innovative, evidence‑informed approaches that have helped hundreds reclaim control from substance and behavioural addictions. I offer compassionate, tailored therapy for individuals, couples and families in a confidential private practice to start your recovery journey.
How can I help? I offer integrative psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, addiction (alcohol, substances, gambling, sex) and low self‑esteem. Using a pluralistic, collaborative approach I draw on CBT, ACT, psychodynamic and humanistic methods to teach practical skills, build confidence and strengthen self‑esteem. I support lasting change and resilience,
Addiction often grows from many causes: childhood experiences, trauma, loss, stress, isolation, and attempts to cope with overwhelming feelings or life pressures. These factors interact uniquely for each person. If this resonates, I can help you understand the roots and find recovery.
