Feeling low, anxious, over-analyzing, being detached, feeling lost, feeling guilty, having a strong critical voice, having relationship problems, being told you are over-sensitive-these are all issues we can look at in-depth. You may have a diagnosis but it is usually much more helpful to look at a formulation or map of your difficulties.
I am passionate about working with people who want to really understand what is contributing to their difficulties, and want to engage in experiential work to deeply address these. I specialise in Schema Therapy as it not only seeks to bring deep understanding, but also deep healing.

People come to therapy for many different reasons including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, trauma, unresolved childhood issues and more. Some people will know their reasons for coming to therapy or the type of therapy they want, while others benefit from talking to a professional to gain understanding about their thoughts and feelings. I would love to hear from you so that we can begin working in a style and at a pace that suits you.

People can choose to come for therapy for a variety of reasons. People often choose to come for therapy because they are feeling dissatisfied with life, feeling lonely or isolated, or are experiencing difficulty or distress. Often times, it may be easier for you to discuss these concerns with someone who is not in your circle of family and friends. Some people may simply want a safe place to vent their frustrations, and some people may want to work on changing their circumstances for the better. There is no right or wrong reason to seek therapy. This process is always about what works best for you.
