About me
Do you want to break free from substance use, anxiety or something else which has taken up residence in your life? I am a psychotherapist specialising in helping people separate from anxieties (specific and general), addictions (substance and process), distressed eating and the effects of trauma. This also involves relationship issues, problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour, body image, sex, shame and guilt. These problematic coping mechanisms are often tangled up with underlying pain and distress, which remains hidden from us, and I use a variety of counselling and psychotherapy practices to make these visible to clients.

Further information
I incorporate a variety of clinical counselling modalities to alleviate pain and distress and to build better ways of coping. I apply Narrative Therapy to help clients understand the underlying causes of the problems they have sought consultation on and to re-author their stories in ways that make them stronger. I use Rites of Passage and rituals to integrate these different modalities.
