About me
Are you over the age of 40, feeling stressed, confused, frustrated with life or seeking direction?
Do you want to feel happier, less anxious and/or more confident in your relationships?
Do you find yourself feeling lonely all the time, confused about life and overthinking possible causes or solutions? Do you feel angry much of the time?
I care about the wellbeing of others and like to help adults like you to feel better in themselves. I do this because I enjoy enabling you to be the person you would like to be, to overcome anxiety, compulsions, insecurities or overthinking so that you can become the person you want to be and enjoy life to the fullest.
I achieve this by using a deep intuitive sense to understand what is going on for you and by applying various techniques to help you move forward and find answers. We work together to resolve those things that stop you making progress or prevent you feeling happy and content.

Member organisations

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership

Further information
I am a professional and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist offering support to adults who are dealing with psychological and emotional difficulties caused by a wide range of issues.
Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and lack of confidence. The turmoil caused by such struggles often lead to difficulties in their personal, work and family relationships.
