About me
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist. As an experienced professional, I am dedicated to working with people who are experiencing difficulties within their lives.
My philosophy is to promote health by helping clients develop a good relationship with themselves and others, and to have a fulfilling life.
With an engaging and friendly manner I am empathic while at the same time gently challenging individuals to set and work towards achieving realistic goals.
In addition to my psychotherapy and counselling services, I am a qualified fitness instructor. I strongly believe in the importance of health in our bodies as well as our minds, and as a psychotherapist I am able to use what is happening within my clients' bodies as an additional way of helping them understand themselves and reduce their symptoms.
