Choosing me as your therapist means partnering with someone who is genuinely committed to your personal growth and wellbeing.  I bring a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach that ensures you feel heard and understood throughout our sessions.

My aim is to help you navigatelifes challenges in a relationship where you will learn to flourish and make lasting change.

I started out as a Humanistic Therapist which is a client centred approach that emphasises personal growth. This involves a focus on each individuals unique experience and perspective, encouraging them to explore their feelings and thoughts ina supportive environment.

Over my years in practice I have moved to a more integrative approach which is increasingly necessary in today's complex world, as it combines various therapeutic ideas to address the diverse needs of the individual.

This provides a more holistic approach which enhances the therapy and brings a deeper understanding of each individual, promoting over healing better outcomes for all.

So I invite you to take the courageous step towardsyour own healing and personal growth by joining me for a 30 minute initial consultation either by phone or in person. Please don't hesitate to reach out, I am here to support you every step of the way

I 

 I believe that each person is  unique  so therapy is adapted to meet each persons  individual needs. This also allows for therapy to be long or short term depending on requirements, and this we will review together.

I believe that the challenges that life now brings can take us to the limits of our coping abilities. We have seen many increases in stress, anxiety, depression, and psychosis which all can be seen as attempts by our mind and bodies to deal with the difficulties we face. Therapy helps by asking 'why is this happening for you' and 'what do you need' .  By exploring your world we can find the root of your distress and look for ways to move towards to a life that is not shackled by doubt and concern.

I am aware of the amount of people that suffer from PTSD due to trauma. I became proficient in Rewind Therapy in order to help those that are trapped by traumatic incidents. This therapy takes one session and is free to veterans, so if thats you please do get in contact 

I was pleased to be approached by the Police Firearms Officers Association, who asked me to become an approved counsellor for them and as such,have carried out work on their behalf.

A therapist must be someone you feel confident will do their utmost to see your world . Someone who will hear your words without judgement or analysis. This is why I offer a free initial consultation, without obligation, so that you can decide if you feel I am the right therapist for you.

Some prefer therapy that offers structure and others prefer creative and less rigid ways of working. The therapy I offer meets the needs of the individual who can decide the way forward
