I aim to give clients a healing environment that is private, strictly confidential, and judgment-free so they can recognise, investigate, and ultimately address their issues. I am an integrative psychotherapist, with a BSc Honours Degree, and have a genuine empathetic personality. In addition to integrating different models and methods of theory, I use a person-centred approach that is specifically customised to address the needs and concerns of each of my clients. These include internal family systems, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychoeducation.

Ask yourself a few questions. Are you experiencing a challenging stage in life, a conflicted state of mind, or difficulty within yourself that keeps on returning to trouble you? Are you finding relationships unfulfilling, stressful, or lonely? Do you worry about the future or are affected by the past? Do you replay everything you could have done differently but are consumed by guilt and regret? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? Maybe you are asking yourself how did my life turn out like this? It's exhausting. Isn't it?

I complete educational assessments- to screen for dyslexia, dyscalculia and general intellectual ability . I refer on for further assessment, where appropriate , if there are indicators for autism, Adhd, dyspraxia or other challenges which need addressing.
My reports contain recommendations which will support the child/teenager to access the curriculum and attain the level they are capable of academically. Protecting a young persons self esteem, and their self confidence, is I believe of great importance when they are struggling with challenges educationally - be they academic, emotional or behavioural .

Counselling and Psychotherapy can help with a variety of challenges - addressing difficulties in the present as well as overcoming experiences that belong to the past. A respectful and attuned therapeutic relationship I believe to be the foundation for all therapeutic work. Beside talk therapy we may use art materials to help you express yourself. Often people find that they want more life quality or that important relationships in their lives are impacted by their difficulties and want to find a way forward that feels right for them.

Feeling trapped in a painful 'push-pull' cycle? One of you constantly seeks closeness, while the other needs space, leaving you both feeling lonely and misunderstood. These predictable patterns are often driven by our attachment styles, creating a dynamic that feels strangely familiar yet difficult to break. I help individuals and couples move beyond managing symptoms to understand and change this dance. Together, we can decode your pattern, heal its roots, and build a secure, loving connection. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you relate to each other in a new way fostering security, intimacy, and mutual support

I am a fully Accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist who works with adults. I believe that by providing a confidential and safe environment can allow an individual to speak freely about their life and/or psychical suffering. This important work can provide insight into one’s relationships, life experiences and lead to the easing of psychical suffering. I place the individual’s unconscious in a privileged position within the work and I believe that it is through speaking that understanding can come about and change can take place.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
