How I can help

I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor.

I offer both Short-Term and Long-Term Therapy.

I have been in clinical practice for 10 years and have gained experience working with issues ranging from, working towards a promotion to deep rooted trauma. I am is passionate about supporting and empowering those in my care to make the changes they would like in order to increase fulfillment and enjoyment in their own lives. I work collaboratively with my clients emphasising the importance of autonomy whilst working on key areas and moving towards living more contently and fully.

I have a particular interest in working with those who are lacking motivation or direction in their personal life and or career. Maybe you have a big decision to make in your life and wish to explore this in a safe confidential space.

The initial consultation allows us the opportunity to meet each other, explore the issues you wish to work on, answer any questions you may have etc. I will ask you about your mental health both past and current, your support network, any medication you may be taking etc. This will allow us both to establish if we are 'good fit' and explore next steps.
