Does life sometimes feel like a struggle? Are you simply surviving? Would you like to feel fulfilled and relaxed? You can be okay despite the difficulties you can't control. I can help you learn to manage your reactions in your thoughts and feelings which are counterproductive for you. I can help you find practises which wire up new neural pathways in your brain and help you to stay more regulated and capable of enjoying your life. You are not alone. Together we can work to find more meaning, as you discover who you really are and what you need. Get in touch to arrange a free 10 minute consultation over the phone.
I am an integrative therapist which means that I practise a wide repertoire of therapies. This allows me to tailor my approach to each individual client’s needs. I practise Gestalt, person-centred, transactional analysis and internal family systems. I am trauma informed and emphasize emotion regulation, compassion practises, mindfulness and breathing.
I believe that you have your own answers within and that I can help you to discover these. You may feel stuck, undecided, down or lonely. I can help you become aware of and express what is happening within you. I also believe that therapy is as much about enhancing, resourcing and strengthening as it is about healing difficulties. I would like to help you.

I use grounding, breathing and mindfulness techniques. I use compassion focussed approaches to improve your ability to tolerate your emotions. I use neuroscience based practices and somatic awareness for nervous system regulation. Gestalt helps me to detect your patterns and where you might be stuck or holding yourself back. I integrate other therapies on an individualized basis as I see fit.
