About me

If you are struggling with anxiety, relationship problems, depression, low self-esteem, addiction problems and more, then you will no doubt find psychotherapy and counselling very helpful. If you are struggling with any of these problems, then I know the isolating pain they can cause, but I have seen depression turn to joy, despair into hope and self-hatred into self-love.  It is very important that you feel safe and comfortable and that is why I offer a free session to start with, so you can see if I am the right person for you*

I offer a confidential space to explore the parts of us that we would not normally wish to face. A place to drop our mask and show our hurt, fear, anger or shame. Being real and honest with someone in a trustworthy setting can be a great healer. My areas of expertise include recovery from addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling etc.) recovery from depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, shame and much more.

I ask you at the start what your goals are and we agree a plan going forward. I am integrative in my approach, meaning I taylor the sessions towards you, drawing on many approaches for example CBT or deeper inner healing work.

If you are feeling anxiety, confusion, hurt, anger, shame, depression, fear or struggling with an addiction, then I suggest you are kind, gentle and loving towards yourself by taking a risk and starting the process of change. I offer a free initial session*

I also offer Skype, phone and couples counselling
