About me

I offer:

  • A positive therapeutic space to help focus on your strengths and capabilities as well as things that challenge you like; health or social anxiety, addiction, bullying, burnout, depression, loneliness, relationship difficulties etc. 
  • Authenticity and connectivity so that you feel comfortable to explore things like loss of confidence or self esteem, attachment issues, professional/life stresses and trauma to name a few. 
  • An opportunity to make life changes, set goals, re-focus with clarity so that you can face beginnings and endings with greater confidence, be that job change/loss, starting/ending relationships, leaving home, new parenting, empty nesting, retirement etc. 

We'll think together about:

  • Relationships, be that with Yourself, in a couple, as a family member, friend, work colleagues, community, society and everything in between. It is how we are in any of these relationships that often shapes how we experience or process things. 
  • Life experiences, expected or unexpected, brand-new or repeated, stretching or debilitating! I help you to navigate what can feel like difficult life events so that you feel more equipped to understand change in all it's forms. 
  • You, in a space that is confidential and non-judgemental.  I help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour to increase personal awareness, acceptance and insight.
