About me

An accredited counsellor using a mixture of person centred, CBT, psychodynamic, internal family systems and trauma-informed modes of practice.

Working with a range of presenting issues from anxiety, depression, and stress I help clients understand their coping patterns and if these still work and are healthy today.

I work with issues like:

- Experiencing a dysfunctional family
- Growing up with family addictions, mental health issues, domestic violence or abuse
- Experiencing unhealthy adult relationships and repeating relationship patterns of unsuitable partners
- Experiencing codependency in relationships
- Experiencing divorce - as an adult or child
- Experiencing step-parents and blended families - as an adult or child
- Growing up with emotionally unavailable or emotionally immature parents or caregivers
- Bereavement (including pets)
- Loss of future expectations e.g family, relationships, health, career
- Family estrangement

These types of experiences can impact your personal relationships (including with your own children) your communication style, your self-esteem and self-confidence, your boundaries, assertiveness - and how you feel.

Working with me

I'm down-to-earth, honest, straight forward, compassionate and accept you just as you are. Experiencing this acceptance and compassion creates a secure relationship where you can openly express yourself, can feel safe enough to be gently challenged and know the relationship won't be changed by anything you say.
