About me and my therapy practice

My first experience of therapy was during my training, maybe like you reading this now, the thought of sharing/exploring my deepest fears, feelings and thoughts with someone was scary. Through my own person experience, I feel I can share that this was one of the hardest, uncomfortable and difficult journey's I have made, but also one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences too. If you are considering how therapy can support you through challenging life events , I am here to walk beside you, exploring emotions, thoughts and fears which may feel impossible right now. Together we can work towards your goals and your happiness.
