About me

As an experienced person-centred, integrative therapist, I work with adults, couples, and adolescents.

People often want to talk to friends or family about their struggles. However, embarrassment, shame, worry or a sense of being stuck and just not knowing where to start, can prevent us from taking that first step. Talking to a therapist can help because it is a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space in which to explore relationship issues, personal difficulties and how you are coping with everything. Being open and honest with someone trained to help you unravel the mess can help you to find a pathway towards a better life.

Sometimes people develop ways of coping that are maladaptive or personally damaging. Risky behaviours, such as self-harm and substance misuse can feel scary and overwhelming to share. If you experience suicidal ideation this too can feel extremely hard to share with those closest to you. If any of these things are something you need to explore, we do this together in a calm, safe manner and I am confident in safeguarding & safety planning, plus I can help you find new coping strategies.

I aim to offer a professional, yet down-to-earth, therapeutic relationship where we can work together on the issues that have led you to seek therapy for yourself, you and your partner, or your child. I aim to offer you a compassionate safe space to talk - without fear of judgement. I acknowledge it can be challenging to trust someone with your innermost fears and worries; it can feel awkward or even painful. Yet therapy can offer you an opportunity to grow, to gain insight and to feel empowered to make changes or to accept yourself more genuinely.
