Whatever challenges you're facing, you don't have to face them alone. Therapy can help. By developing a deeper understanding of what you're experiencing, we can work towards greater insight, a better quality of life and meaningful change. Some of my areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship problems, trauma and PTSD, LGBTQ+ issues, men's issues, and abuse and its impact.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, which means that I draw on a range of approaches rather than being limited to one. Empathy, genuineness and non-judgemental acceptance are always at the heart of my practice. (For more information, you can view my website by clicking the 'My website' link on the right.)
The fact that you find yourself on this page suggests that a part of you wants support. Deciding to start therapy can feel like a big step and it’s normal to feel uncertain. When you feel ready, I invite you to make contact. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and, if it feels right, to arrange a session so we can begin our work together.

My approach is integrative, which means that as I get to know you and your story, I will naturally incorporate ways of working that best suit your needs. For instance, I might use attachment styles to help us understand relationship issues, trauma theories to work with traumatic experiences and PTSD, or CBT to work on disordered eating patterns or negative core beliefs.
