About me

I am a qualified psychotherapist with over 17 years post qualification experience. I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

I have experience working with all different kinds of people from all kinds of social, economic, cultural and faith backgrounds. I have experience working with lots of different problems/symptoms including anxiety, stress, low mood, depression, bereavement, grief and loss, work based stress, building a sense of self worth, self confidence and self esteem.

Psychotherapy gives you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, supporting you to build resilience and manage emotional distress. This gives you strength in yourself and confidence to change, carry on and re-connect to your values and what you find important in your life.

I am skilled at working with clients to understand how their childhood experiences and relationships have impacted on their sense of self and how this may play out in current relationships and cause distress. This form of psychotherapy helps you to make changes and builds a more complete understanding of yourself and how you relate to others at work, home and socially.

I am resilient, warm and empathic. I am non-judgemental.

I work confidentially with you to understand your difficulties and find solutions, helping you live a happier life.
