About me
When you come to therapy, you may feel that your ways of coping are no longer working for you. You may be experiencing vague dissatisfaction or a desire for something more in your life. You could be feeling anxiety about the future or pain from past events. Whatever you are currently experiencing, coming to therapy is a brave step. I want to meet you where you are and welcome what you bring.
In psychotherapy, we will try to create space where it is safe for us to explore your experience in order to discover what is happening for you and how you may be getting stuck. By doing this we can begin to create more choices for you to move forward.

Therapies offered
Fees
It is important to me that you find the right therapist for you. To see if we are a good fit for each other and answer any questions about the process you may have, I offer a free assessment session in which we can explore your reasons for coming to therapy and give you a sense of working with me.
Sessions are £65 per hour.
