I offer a safe heart centred space to help my clients unpack at a gentle pace that suits them. No problem is too small to bring to counselling. Talking things through with a stranger can help find and bring resources and solutions into sight and is therefore "the gift of therapy". I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly to match your requirements. I have a wide range of training and approaches such as choice therapy, Positive thinking, meditation, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and shamanism.

I have been working with clients since 2006 and my aim is always to offer a space for each client, adolescent or adult, to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to me to offer an experience of ease and flow to the client. I work in a non-judgement and real way which I have found leads the client into a relaxed place within themselves. I am holistically focused, so this means I have quite a few tools in the toolbox to approach the various topics or issues which arise in each session. My motto is Answering the Call of The Heart and embody this in my everyday practice and that spills into my work in the therapy room.

Do you feel like you’re constantly on, yet never doing enough? Whether you are struggling with the weight of perfectionism, navigating a difficult relationship, or feeling lost in the fog of burnout and anxiety, you don’t have to carry it alone. I help adults move past self-doubt to find a sense of balance and self-worth. In our work together, we’ll look at the why behind your current challenges. I have deep experience helping people navigate complex family histories - such as adoption, addiction, or growing up too fast (parentification) - and understanding how those early years affect your life today.

I Specialise in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. I suffered from anxiety&panic attacks for 22yrs due to bullying & narcissistic abuse, which held my back from achieving my goals until I got help. Being a Co-dependent people pleaser meant that I was putting other people’s wants and needs before my own, trying to get acceptance, manage the situation and to keep the peace. This was exhausting until I learned how to take my personal power back

As a therapist my role is to work with you, to bring about a more harmonious and connected relationship with yourself and in the case of Couples Therapy with each other. When you feel you are unable to talk to each other, I facilitate and show you how that can be very different. I can remove that stuck feeling and empower you both to communicate with ease and successfully address conflict resolution in your relationship. Sometimes we feel as if we are so stuck within ourselves and within our relationships, and its a perspective not a reality. When we approach issues differently, we create an oppportunity much understanding.

Whether you saw it it coming or didn’t, the feeling is the same: You’re devastated. You gasp at your vulnerability and wonder, “Why did this happen?” Life dishes up so many hardships: heartbreak, illness, injury, death, abandonment. Though we may share similar experiences, every hurt is personal. No matter how many times well-meaning people say, “We understand,” they don’t.

Often what brings people to therapy are anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, or self-harming behaviours. You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or stuck. These difficulties tend to reflect deeper patterns of feeling, thinking and relating that began as ways of adapting to our unique life circumstances and relationships. As these patterns develop outside of our conscious awareness, they influence our day-to-day life without us fully knowing why and how. My approach to therapy is based on the assumption that becoming conscious of the why and how affords you the freedom to live a more fulfilling, satisfying and meaningful life.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
