I am an experienced psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can explore what may be troubling you and begin to understand and make changes to patterns that may no longer be serving you.
My specialist areas are psychosexual therapy and couple and relationship therapy. I work with individuals and couples experiencing difficulties with intimacy, communication, sexual relationships and connection, helping you explore these issues with sensitivity and without judgement.
I also work with people experiencing loss, depression, anxiety and significant life transitions. These can be times when the ways we have previously coped no longer feel sufficient, and therapy can provide a space to make sense of what is happening and find a way forward.
I have a particular interest in supporting women through menopause and the changes that can accompany this stage of life. Menopause can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, sexuality, confidence and our sense of identity. I offer a space to explore these changes and their impact, while helping you reconnect with yourself and what matters to you.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I believe that feeling heard, understood and accepted is an important starting point for meaningful therapeutic
