Email meAbout me
I provide an open and receptive environment for whatever you might bring, and give you space to talk freely and be heard.
About your situation
You may find yourself unhappy with how things are and you want them to be better. Perhaps troublesome thoughts, feelings and behaviours are repeating over and over. It may be frustrating to consider that life is passing by and you are not making the most of it
These are some common issues where I find psychotherapy is effective:
- repetitive patterns of anxiety, depression and distress
- feelings of low confidence and low self-worth, a sense of not reaching goals
- trouble in relationships with a partner, family or friends, or finding it hard to form new relationships
How psychotherapy can help
A basis of mindfulness (paying attention to your experience of the present moment) provides stability and openness.
As you talk freely to a skilled listener, you may find that you can look more deeply into your concerns, and explore with a sense of kindness and clarity. This allows you to see and understand aspects of your life that have been difficult or confusing. When this happens, you can start to let go of unwanted patterns and live life with greater enjoyment and satisfaction.
Through our work together we aim to increase:
- enjoyment in your day to day life
- feeling OK with who you are
- a sense of safety and security
- the energy to get on with the things that are important to you
The nature of this work and the time it takes will be different for everyone. We determine the pace and depth of work that feels right for you.

If this sounds right for you, there are a few things you can do to explore further.
You can find out more about my psychotherapy work on my website (link above).
You can call (07909107447) or email (use the red button). I would be happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions that you may have, with no cost or commitment to proceed further.
You can arrange to meet for an initial consultation. During an initial consultation we can talk in depth about your situation and how we could work together to improve it. By the end of the initial session we aim to agree if we would like to continue working together.
If we decide to work together, the ongoing sessions will be 50 minutes long and will be provided on a weekly basis.
