About me

People use my therapy services for many reasons - because they are feeling anxious, depressed or stuck. They may have relationship, family, work or career issues. Some have long term mental health issues and others are experiencing a trauma or crisis.

Recently, clients have sought help for:

Workplace stress - whether bullying, discrimination, difficult relationships, lack of confidence or burnout

Trauma - both from childhood (e.g. from emotionally immature parents, Complex PTSD) and as an adult (e.g. from abusive or Narcissistic relationships)

Illness - diagnosis of physical illnesses such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or mental health issues such as ADHD or emotional dysregulation) 

I am an integrated therapist - drawing on a variety of therapeutic approaches - depending on the needs of my clients. Both my short and long term clients report feeling calmer and more focused after therapy and most achieve significant change in how they feel, think and behave.

I spent decades running my own business in professional services and have worked with executives, lawyers, accountants and surveyors as a qualified coach as well. My clients find the combination of warmth, support and focused therapy with coaching both challenging and helpful.
