About me

Are you struggling to cope with what life is presenting to you, perhaps in your personal relationships, with family or colleagues and maybe even with yourself?   Working with our body, mind, and spirit can result in the most profound transformations greatly improving and enhancing our quality of life, improving our relationships and life decisions.  We all have a natural tendency to heal and grow from within us, a place that can be a difficult to go to without support.

As part in my own journey, I trained to become an Integrative Psychotherapist to offer support to others navigating the challenges of modern life, in areas ranging around anxiety, depression, stress, family issues, addiction, relationships, bereavement, addiction, redundancy, life crisis/events, spirituality, culture, religion, domestic and sexual abuse, OCD, PTSD and ADHD.

I work in a relaxed, client-led and integrative approach offering online and in person sessions informed by various schools of psychotherapeutic thought using creative methods to complement and support our work. It takes courage to reach out for support, but the results could be priceless. I warmly invite you to do so.
