I help individuals with communication in relationships and sexual issues. My clinical specialities are depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I also work with trauma, crisis, and childhood abuse, and loss and bereavement. Overwhelming emotion and anger management are also areas where I can be of help. If you have psychiatric diagnoses I can liaise with your team. I can help with CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy and help with coping skills. Personal development skills may be assertiveness, boundaries, and working on self-esteem and meaning in life issues. I'm particularly interested in helping adults who don't feel grown up to mature.
I provide a non-judgemental approach. I am a respectful, open and genuine person. I am an integrative practitioner with a strong bias towards Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. This means that together we will tackle any issues that you wish to work on by addressing what you are doing and how you think.
Starting therapy can be daunting for some. Please feel free to call or email and I'll respond within 24 hours.

Most of my clients are referred by their GP or Psychiatrist but you can self-refer. I work a lot with BPD, OCD, and anxiety disorders but anyone in distress, crisis, burnout, or with a dilemma will benefit. You may want to work on personal development if self-acceptance is difficult or if you are hard on yourself, people-pleasing, perfectionist, or 'stuck'.
