Life can get overwhelming, and you might find yourself at a crossroads, feeling stuck or seeking clarity amid chaos. Remember, it's okay to feel lost, anxious, or weighed down by your emotions; these are natural responses to life's ups and downs.

I offer a compassionate space where your feelings and experiences are heard and valued and where I can join you on your path to self-discovery and healing.

You might be navigating various emotional landscapes, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, or addiction. I've dedicated 18 years to the addiction field and become a psychotherapist in this time, working with individuals facing varied challenges.

I am:

Non-Judgmental: Here, you're free to express yourself without fear of judgment. It's a secure and confidential space to be your true self.

Empathetic: I approach counselling with a deep understanding of your unique story, struggles, and strengths. I listen without bias and offer steadfast support.

Collaborative: Our journey is a partnership. I'll guide you, but the direction is yours to determine. We'll set achievable goals and work at your pace.

Believe in Holistically Healing People: I believe in a holistic approach, recognizing that emotional well-being is intertwined with various aspects of your life.

It is important to know that I understand the weight of your experiences and the emotions you are carrying. I have spent many years supporting individuals facing challenges like addiction and mental health issues, and I am here to walk alongside you too.

I have worked with clients who have experienced similar feelings and situations, and I have seen how powerful counselling can be in creating positive change. My promise to you is one of empathy, respect, and a strong belief in your ability to heal and grow.

You do not have to face these challenges alone. Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or personal growth, I am here to offer steady support and guidance. Your journey starts with taking that first step – reaching out.

I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation to help me understand why you're reaching out and to answer any questions you may have. During this conversation, if we agree that we can work together, we will arrange our first session.

The first session is focused on getting more details about the issues that have brought you into counselling and the agreement of working together.

Take the First Step, you don't have to navigate your challenges alone. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or personal growth, I'm here to support you. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.

Contact Information: Feel free to reach out for a free initial consultation. I'm available throughout the week and offer face-to-face, online, or phone sessions. I also offer walk and talk therapy.

Your healing path begins with the first step—reaching out. I look forward to connecting with you.

After our consultation, payment for the first session will be needed if you decide to move forward with therapy sessions with me. This secures the session and allows us to begin our work together seamlessly.
