About me

I offer weekly counselling for adult individuals, face-to-face or online. I work within the psychodynamic and attachment-based models, which focus on making sense of both your current situation as well as your past, and relationships. I can help you to make sense of things that feel too difficult to process and work through on your own. I may also offer insight into a situation so that we can look at it with a different perspective. I work with honesty, impartiality and respect.

I offer regular weekly 50-minute sessions (both face-to-face and online), with the space held for you at the same day and time each week. My room is in a peaceful ground-floor location with off-street parking.
