I am kind, warm, open & honest. With me, you'll find a caring & reliable therapist, with whom you can safely explore your troubles & find your way forward.

Therapy with me...

*Please note I will be on extended leave from December 2024 until further notice*

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, trained in a variety of theories and techniques, including Transactional Analysis, Person-Centered Therapy and Gestalt. I also offer a Life Coaching service.

I work holistically and integratively, combining tools from many different approaches to help you form a better understanding of yourself and your struggles, and to also develop a “coping toolkit” with practical strategies that you can use when hard times hit.

As your therapist, I'll be right there beside you, guiding you on your way, listening carefully & putting myself in your shoes, so I can truly understand your story on a deep level. In a safe & non-judgemental space we will explore your thoughts, feelings & experiences, celebrate your triumphs & lean in to understand your pain.
