About me

Hello, you may be finding life a struggle and hard going at the moment and you might be thinking about counselling as a way to explore yourself and the possibility of making changes in your life.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, a crisis, low self-esteem, exploring neurodiversity, relationship/family difficulties, work related stress or historical experiences including childhood abuse.  You may have a specific problem you want to address or you may be less sure of what you need and just know you need to talk.

Reaching out is often the hardest part and asking for help is often hardest when we need it most.  

I offer an initial consultation of up to 30 minutes on the phone free of charge without commitment.  This is an opportunity for you to tell me what you are looking for and for both of us to make an initial assessment as to whether we think we can work together.

When we talk at depth with a trusted other about what really matters to us we find ourselves growing in awareness and insight.  Exploring difficulties with a therapist and gaining clarity around feelings and thoughts deepens self understanding.  

At the heart of all my work is the relationship we form together and within this space it becomes possible to uncover known and unknown patterns of relating and beliefs that may no longer be serving you.

I am an experienced therapist and offer a safe and supportive space for you. I believe effective therapy is grounded in warmth, compassion and exploration.

My professional background spans over 25 years working therapeutically with people from all walks of life including previously working in mental health hospital & rehabilitation settings.

I have a special interest in working with anxiety, neurodiversity and childhood abuse.
