Profile

Many people experience tough and difficult times and sometimes overcoming them feels too difficult to cope with alone. Sometimes, events or accidents happen unexpectedly, or the outcome of decisions we make are disappointing or relationships with others are difficult or fail.

I am an experienced, qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who has seen men and women of all ages. They come with many struggles and are weighed down with problems that feel overwhelming and make daily life very hard.

I believe that psychotherapy and counselling can make a difference. Working with the right therapist can offer the opportunity for hope that life can be better. It is possible to change habits, gain more control in your life, build self-esteem and for healing to take place.  As a result, it is possible for you to make new choices and change old ways of being that has caused difficulties that often lead to anxiety, depression and other problems.

At the heart of my work is the relationship that I build with each client. It is important that you feel safe and that you can trust me. I am understanding and empathic and will listen and not judge.

We can work for a few sessions or over several months. The length of therapy will depend on your needs, wishes and the issues you bring. I will always try to work in ways and at a pace that are appropriate to you and your story.
