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 can help with relationship issues, marriage problems, stress, anxiety, low self-confidence, and grief, while I also offer counselling for caregivers.
I truly believe that every human being needs a counsellor at some point(s) in life, because life is hard and the list of problems a person can face - and the impact those problems can have - is, seemingly, endless. Needing or wanting help to live a meaningful and fulfilling life is a natural and healthy response. Please know that it is possible.

The way we see ourselves, often shaped by past experiences, can become the biggest obstacle to our growth. To move forward, we must challenge these self-imposed limits and reshape our mindset to welcome new possibilities. One of life’s most incredible realisations is that we are not bound by who we’ve been - we have the ability to change.

As midwife, mother and Master in Infant Mental Health, I have great insight into Fertility, relationship challenges, loss and depression.
No doubt you are looking at this site because you want something in your life to change. You want to feel better, get out of a repetitive rut, make some relationship changes or improvements, or just feel better within your own skin. My clients find it a huge relief to share and process their concerns - within the safe space of my counselling room or via secure online therapy. I believe strongly in a gentle therapy method - a non-judgemental and compassionate attitude - creating a safe, nurturing space for healing and change to begin. I am very aware of how vulnerable one feels in making that first appointment. It is worth it!

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.

Fairytales make us believe that love is easy. Typically there is a one fight, and then they live happily ever after. But real life relationships take a lot more deliberate action, conversations, and redefining of roles and needs to create lasting, happy connections. You're not broken, and he / she might not be the wrong one! So often our childhood set the tone for what love can and should look like and it unconsciously continues to keep us stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. You can be seen, supported, loved, and happy again. Let's untangle your childhood, equip you with tools, and breathe new life into your marriage.
