I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. I work from the person-centred approach and place a high value on your innate ability to change and grow. Just because we cannot see a mental health problem, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental health should carry the exact same weight as a broken leg; you wouldn't walk around on a broken leg, don't walk around with untreated mental health problems; reach out for help! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" C. R. Rogers

Sometimes you may laugh or you may cry, but you can expect therapy to be a space dedicated to you. It allows the freedom for self-exploration and healing without judgement or restriction.

Sometimes the demands of life can become overwhelming, and we could do with kind heart to journey alongside us as we explore a life of more meaning, purpose and joy. Whilst life is challenging, and hurtful things happen, often not of our choosing, resulting in trauma, grief and distress, I believe that through this we can grow and heal. At times, we need someone to really listen to our story and other times; we need to be guided to acquire skills to help us navigate distress, difficult relationships and overwhelming emotions.

For me, therapy is not only one thing but many different things. I believe that therapy is a sacred space. A space that holds both pain and growth. A learning space, a teaching space. A space where we get to better understand ourselves and a space of freedom. Freedom to experience, express and explore the most vulnerable parts of ourselves free of judgement and instruction. A space that, at times can be challenging but brings with it an opportunity for change. In a world filled with expectations and demands, this is a space of acceptance, where being yourself, just as you are, is good enough.
