About me

My integrative style of therapy is down-to-earth, kind but focused. I've been described as warm, funny and supportive but also challenging and straight talking. I believe therapy is a two-way process so I will listen more than I talk because I'm always interested. But my training and nearly 20 years of experience has given me many tools, techniques and strategies which I will want to share with you to see if they could help.

We will start with your current situation but it might be that you are being influenced by events from your past so we can explore that together, looking for old ways of thinking, behaving or coping which you may be holding you back.

My therapy style brings together elements of CBT, therapeutic coaching and solution focused work, combined with a dose of Freud, some existentialism and all underpinned with a client-centred approach to each session.

I work with a wide range of human experiences including:

modern-mind anxiety (overthinking, over-achieving, busyness, perfectionism, stress)
low self-esteem (about who you are, how you look, what you've achieved, what people think of you)

life fatigue (lack of motivation, drive, direction, enthusiasm)

relational and communication problems (understanding and expressing your needs in healthy relationships with partners, friends, parents, at work)

life-stage changes (marriage, parenting, divorce, menopause)

behavioural changes (work-life balance, sustainable routines, self-care and wellbeing, managing addictive behaviours)

I understand it's difficult trying to choose a therapist off a directory but if what I've said sounds like it might be an approach that works for you, do get in touch and we can discuss.

I am a Senior Accredited member of BACP, fully qualified and insured.
