Are you distressed? Are you suffering with low mood, anxiety, anger or shame? Perhaps you’re struggling to get along with people or to be effective in work or relationships. Maybe you're frustrated with your partner, upset about the constant fighting, lack of intimacy or just not feeling so much love for each other?
If any of these problems are troubling you, and you’re wondering how to address them, talk to me! I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your issues and I can help you find solutions and new ways of thinking and behaving.
With over 15 years as a therapist, I've a proven track record of helping people make lasting, positive life changes. I use established techniques (CBT, DBT & concepts from Gottman Couples Therapy) to explore thoughts, feelings, & behaviors, finding ways to overcome unhelpful habits towards more effective, successful approaches to a happy, meaningful life.
A strong, trusting relationship between me and my clients is crucial to the success of my therapeutic approach. That's why I always try to ask the right questions and to listen carefully to your answers to help me understand what things are like from your point of view.
