About me

I am an experienced psychotherapist offering short term counselling, open ended psychotherapy, group work and couples counselling. You may be in the midst of a crisis, looking for resolution around a particular issue, feeling dissatisfied with life or in need of a space to unburden your thoughts and feelings in a safe setting.

Counselling and psychotherapy can help you to live in a way that feels more authentic and to respond creatively, rather than habitually to circumstances and others. Our work together might include increasing your self awareness, re-evaluating habitual thinking and behaviour, and processing thoughts and feelings. This can help you to find more fulfilment in life. This is done within the context of a relationship that offers warmth and acceptance as well as appropriate levels of challenge.

Just some of the things that counselling and psychotherapy can help with are anxiety, midlife issues, being highly sensitive, anger management, menopause, abuse, bereavement, depression, work stress, relationship issues, traumatic experiences, transition and much more.

If you are interested in finding out more please contact me to arrange an initial assessment session. This gives us the opportunity to explore what you want to gain from therapy, and to see if we feel comfortable working together. If you wish to proceed we would normally meet weekly for 50 minute sessions and regularly review our progress to ensure your needs are being met.
