I am an experienced psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience. I am passionate about helping people have better relationships and be more ralational with each other. I can help you look at how early/past experiences shaped your responses and how you can learn new ways to connect and communicate
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
I am a qualified supervisor and offer supervision to trainees and qualified practitioners help with gaining accreditation/registration.
