Sometimes we need a non-bias“outside” perspective to hear our own voices. As an integrative therapist I utilize approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered, Solution focused, mindfulness etc. depending on the needs and requests of each individual. Pulling apart what may often feel like a tangled ball of wool in ones head in order to recognise, prioritize and cope with the sometimes over whelming thoughts, feeling and behaviors that present. Providing a secure, non-judgmental, confidential environment in which you can safely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at a rate that is comfortable to you

I'm an art therapist who specializes in working with children and young teens. I work with childhood anxiety, illness, separation as well as with emotional and behavioral issues. I have gained significant experience working in clinical and educational settings.

I believe that we need all the help and support we can get these days, and my aim is to encourage you to feel comfortable enough to speak about whatever is troubling you. I aim to enable you to feel safe, understood, respected, and accepted without judgement. I know the courage it takes to enter a therapeutic relationship so I make every effort to create an online/ face to face space that makes each person I talk with feel genuinely heard and understood. When you speak in confidence with me, you speak with a trained professional with no agenda when offering guidance or support, only your very best interests at heart.

I am an integrative counsellor and therapist, and in my approach, I combine different therapeutic methods including but not limiting to Person Cantered, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Inner Child, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) , Choice Theory and Solution-Focused models.

Sometimes we get overwhelmed by life and what life throws at us. Trying to make sense of what is happening can often feel like we are going around in circles. We may feel we are not coping and have little options available to us. I have worked with survivors of intimate partner abuse for many years. During my time working with survivors, I have encountered depression, anxiety, addiction and low self esteem. Relationships are our key to a healthier life, if your relationships with friends and family or work are causing you anxiety, expressing what is going on for you is the first step to freeing yourself from patterns you experience.

Life may mean difficult or traumatic experiences, past or present, that can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, worried, overwhelmed, hopeless or unable to cope. Counselling can be a great support in these times, helping you make sense of your experiences, your feelings and your relationships.

In everyone’s life there are times when we need to reset our learned ways or find new ways as the current ones create emotional pain. Oftentimes it helps to look in detail how things are connected with someone that can provide a safe space to do so. We are all capable to find our own ingenious ways to live a fulfilled life. This very personal learning can be supported by a trained counsellor/psychotherapist therapist. I believe strongly that my function as therapist is to provide the space and knowledge for the collaborative work my clients choose to do and that healing will come from within ourselves where we are in pain.

Therapy is a unique journey where we walk side by side to discover a better way of living. As a therapist my focus is to create a safe space, where you can be yourself and speak without consequence, where your feelings can be shared without judgement. Everyone is an unique person with their own experiences, but each of us deserves a chance to explore them and to become the best version of ourselves. The relationship we build is different than those we have in everyday life, where you can express yourself freely, without filtering your thoughts and feelings. We all deserve to be seen and heard.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) involves the horse-human connection to assist in the healing of clients emotional and psychological wounds. Horses respond to our internal worlds, making them a useful tool in a counselling/psychotherapy session. EAP allows clients to use multiple senses while identifying and processing emotional issues. The outdoor environment and use of horses lend a unique dimension to psychotherapy. During each session, clients do ground-based activities with horses while I help the client process their emotions. There is no horse-riding involved in EAP sessions.

Life can be quite difficult at times; dealing with stresses, relationships or conflicts within ourselves and with others. It can often feel lonely, confusing or overwhelming. Counselling offers a space for you to be heard and explore some of these struggles. It can be hugely effective to help you develop coping skills, manage life challenges more effectively and discover the right way forward for you.

I am a CBT Psychotherapist and Mindfulness trainer. My aim is to create a warm, non-judgemental and safe space to help you to overcome whatever you are struggling with in life. My aim is to support you to overcome these difficulties, and to live a life that truly matters to you with health, wellbeing and vibrancy.

Research shows that the most important aspect of therapy is the working alliance between client and therapist, and my approach is informed by this. I believe that the most crucial thing I can provide is an honest, human-to-human connection; and before anything else this requires trust. I strive to be warm, present and above all human for my clients.

I believe in supporting you to lead a more balanced life no matter what experiences you have had or what issues you are currently dealing with. Sometimes stressful or traumatic events can hamper our ability to cope with life’s challenges and leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck and worn out. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress or processing trauma past or present, I will support you in your journey to finding your feet again. I have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of the body and tools that support working with instead of against ourselves.
