Reading this shows that you are being proactive about taking care of yourself. While the motivation to seek support can often come from a place of discomfort or distress, therapy can help people move from crisis to personal growth. I offer compassionate expertise, psycho-education, support, reassurance, validation and guidance as healing resources for those that choose to work with me. You do not have to have anything "figured out" before contacting me; I know that starting therapy can feel like asking for something that is hard to ask for but important to get.
My existentialist philosophy means that I am curious about the part each of us plays in designing our lives. I appreciate the individuality of every client. My experience has taught me that support, compassion and a genuine interest in your world can really help. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore the things that matter to you.
If you’re experiencing emotional or psychological distress, counselling can provide you with support. However, if you’re looking to make deeper changes to your emotional habits and behaviours, psychotherapy is the name used for such work. Many clients finds themselves experiencing a blend of both. Contact me for a free 15-minute telephone call.

The first session generally involves you sharing with me as much or as little information as you feel comfortable to do so about your presenting concerns. It is also an opportunity for you to decide if I am the right fit for you, and if crucially, you feel free to speak candidly. You know more about your inner world than I ever will and I respect what you do and do not choose to share.
