Feeling stuck can be frustrating, but creative thinking approaches can help us be more open to different ideas and perspectives. I provide innovative and effective solutions to life's challenges in a safe place, empowering people to become more confident, move forward thinking, and be kinder to themselves.
I provide a creative solution to life's challenges, being informed by psychotherapy, creative psychotherapy, CBT, and solution-focused approaches. With individual psychotherapy services to children, adults, and families. Sessions provide a safe therapeutic space combined with a non-judgmental approach.
We can enhance our capacity for growth by working through feelings, building our resilience, and improving our emotional regulation. This can increase our confidence, unlock our potential, and help us be whole again.
Due to high demand session times are booked depending on availability. Therapy is a place to take time out for yourself, explore, and be comfortable in one's skin.
