Hello and welcome! Specialising in anxiety and OCD I am here to support you in working through your challenges so you are able to better understand your feelings, thoughts and experiences, at your own pace, with empathy and without judgement. I offer a confidential, safe and supportive space for you to explore anything you wish to. My aim is to understand you and how your world looks for you. Beginning therapy takes a huge amount of courage and I consider it a privilege to work with my clients, sharing their journey to support them in finding their own inner peace.
I am a Psychotherapeutic Integrative Counsellor. Working in an integrative way means I am trained in a number of theories and therapeutic approaches that enables me to tailor the therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs. Working in this way honours individuality and difference ensuring our sessions work in a way that brings about positive change.
The Counselling Relationship is like no other. It provides you with the opportunity to embrace all the parts of you no matter where you are in your life, how confused, challenged or unsure you may be feeling, in an environment that is completely free of judgement. The counselling relationship accepts you unconditionally which enables you to feel heard.
