Many people reach moments where something shifts such as a loss, a new role, a relationship change, or simply the feeling that life is asking something new of them.
I work with individuals and couples who find themselves in these transition points, helping them process emotions, gain clarity and move forward with greater intention and emotional resilience.

Have you been finding yourself struggling lately? Do you feel heavy hearted with feelings of hopelessness? Are you emotionally exhausted? It's okay to ask for help. You are safe here, and you are not alone. As Carl Rogers once said "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination." Reaching out is the first step into the direction of the good life that you seek. Whether you and your partner are experiencing some rough patches, if you as an individual are finding your anxiety levels have risen, or if you have unresolved trauma that you can feel creeping in and taking it's toll, I can help.

I've been a psychologist for 24 years, after a long business career. I'm committed to fostering a trusting relationship where individuals feel safe to open up and share their true selves. Together, we cultivate an environment in which people discover their inner qualities, strengths, and resilience, make sense of challenging situations and often painful pasts, and build a future where they maintain a strong sense of well-being. My experience shows that clients seek an open, honest, practical and future-focused therapist.

I offer counselling and therapeutic life coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and be able to see what started it. Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and my purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find success, purpose and meaning in your life. I will be with you all the way

Starting counseling can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to carry the weight of your story alone or keep pretending you’re fine when you’re not. Healing doesn’t start with having it all figured out; it starts with being brave enough to talk about what hurts. As a Specialist Counselor and Trauma Practitioner, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can untangle the thoughts, patterns, and emotional pain that have kept you stuck. My approach blends psychological science, trauma-informed care, and practical tools that help you regain clarity, confidence, and control of your life.

You may be self-aware and capable, but still feel trapped in anxiety, burnout, or repeating emotional patterns; therapy can help you shift what insight alone has not changed. I specialise in working with thoughtful, emotionally aware adults who understand their struggles yet still feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in relationship patterns. Together, we explore the deeper drivers behind these experiences and work to shift them so you can regain emotional balance, confidence, and a greater sense of calm and control in your life.
