About me

Life can feel really tough at times. If you are feeling low, anxious, stressed or know that there are things in your life holding you back, I can help. I offer a space where you can explore what you are going through. As your counsellor, I want to provide a safe space for you, where we can look at what is happening in your life, explore what might be the cause of your pain and what change might look like for you. 

I am an integrative therapist trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic traditions with a keen interest in existential therapy. My main focus throughout our work together is getting alongside you, as you embark on your therapy journey in a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental way.  Building our relationship is central to the work we will do together, and I look forward to getting to know you and working with you. 

There is a lot of choice out there when it comes to therapists, so I offer a free 15 minute phone call where I can tell you more about how I practice and we can decide together if we are a good fit. I offer in-person and online sessions. I am currently working with clients who have experienced trauma, sexual assault, grief and loss, difficult family issues, depression and anxiety. 

I am an approachable and empathic practitioner, fully committed to helping you make informed decisions about how you want to live your life.
