About me
Are you coping but not really coping?
You might be managing day-to-day, while quietly struggling with your emotions beneath the surface. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or a sense of overwhelm.
Perhaps your life has changed recently and you feel confused, lost or isolated. Or maybe that something from your past is holding you back from living the life you want today.
I offer a welcoming, caring and supportive space where we can begin to explore what you are going through.
While I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs, the steady thread running through my work is my commitment to building a collaborative relationship with you.
Your wellbeing and emotional safety will always be at the core of our work.
I work with adults in-person from my quiet, private therapy space within easy reach of Wantage, Hungerford and Newbury. I'm equally happy to work with you online if you prefer.
It is hard to know at the outset how long therapy will last. You may need just a handful of sessions to navigate a particular difficulty. You may need longer. Together we'll find the right frequency and duration for you. I'll work with you to accommodate your preferences whether that's for weekly, fortnightly or ad hoc sessions.
If this sounds like it could work for you, please drop me a message (via WhatsApp or email) to request a free, no obligation introductory call with me, and we'll start the conversation. I look forward to hearing from you.
