I am an experienced counsellor & psychotherapist accompanying people with stress, trauma and life challenge towards compassionate understanding, clear effective coping strategies and better quality of life. My training in transpersonal; humanistic and integrative therapy; CBT; grief and bereavement; Trauma; mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) means we are not restricted by a singular lens to see what happened to you or ways to process it.
Over many years I have supported people coping with the myriad of life issues. I have specialised training and experience in those living with fear and anxiety; personal or family member addiction; grief and loss; those living with cancer or end of life; sexual violence and trauma.
I endeavour to offer a deep listening, non judgemental space where you can be safe and able to speak about what is sore and troubling. The step into counselling can be daunting and it may encourage you to know I meet you as a fellow human being and not as a label, diagnosis or condition.
