About me and my therapy practice

Since 2006 I have helped individuals and couples, work through complex emotions, traumatic experiences and unhelpful thought patterns. In doing so, the approach reduces feelings of inferiority, builds confidence and develops trust to do the right thing for you. 

Reflecting how you are with others, and how they make you feel, can be revealing and bring about change, so you can feel more present and involved in your life. I work with a warm non-judgemental approach, whilst at the same time I may challenge you to explore your patterns and thinking, at a pace that works for you. 

​Therapy puts words to the feelings, that would otherwise remain painful or unresolved. Its ok to start therapy, without knowing exactly what's wrong.

Working together you'll gain a new outlook on your circumstances enabling you to;

​Let go of past hurt

Make choices

Take charge of your life

You can discuss anything, including what might otherwise feel taboo. I have particular experience of working with the following issues;​

​A lack of self love or self compassion

Problems within relationships (Sex, Fidelity, Conflict)

Low Sexual Desire "Cant be bothered"

A difficulty in trusting others

Sexual Anxiety

Feeling angry

Interest in kink, fetish and alternative relationship models

Thoughts that can't be got rid of

Putting other peoples needs, before your own.

A difficulty in getting things done

Problematic use of the internet

Burdening Relationships and Responsibilities

I work on a long and short term basis.
