About me
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or low. Sometimes, life's events, losses and relationships can leave us with tangled thoughts and feelings that feel hard to work through on our own.
Trained in attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches, I work in a gently analytical way to help you to make sense of both your current situation and past experiences. Together we can think about what is troubling you, and explore things from different perspectives, so that you can begin to find your way back to yourself.
I offer weekly, or twice-weekly, 50 minute sessions (either face-to-face or online). The work is open-ended but if you would like a time-limited set of sessions, we can discuss this.
My room is in a peaceful ground-floor location with off-street parking.
