I use IFS therapy to help children, adolescents and adults. I work with mental health issues around depression, anxiety, trauma and grief. I also help with deeper underlying issues such as being a 'people pleaser', 'finding it hard to say no', 'needing to get things right', difficulties with anger, and difficulties with intimacy and forming relationships.

I have experience in working with young people, and adults in learning how to manage anxiety, whether it be related to work, relationships, diagnosed anxiety disorders, or from a history of trauma.
Whilst it's exciting to live in a new country, it can also bring up issues in relationships, jobs, and generally increase your anxiety. Speaking with someone can help to alleviate the anxiety, and help by giving you tools, strategies, and a place to talk with someone who provides a safe, non-judgemental space. Whether you are going through relationship difficulties, struggling with anxiety, or dealing with the difficulties of living in a different country, I can be there to support you. Sometimes you don't want to burden friends and family, and a counsellor provides a safe, non-judgemental, non-biased space to talk.

These may have been smart adaptations as a child, but may not serve us as adults.
My therapy approach is trauma-sensitive, attachment-based and acknowledges that suppressed emotion and unresolved trauma is held in the body. Avoiding our emotions is one of the main contributors to mental health issues and my approach provides a greater understanding of our emotions and the behaviours that go with them. Our emotions organise our inner experience and avoiding them means missing out on the vital information they hold. For lasting change to occur, we must fully engage with our emotions, rather than fear them.

I am a registered Clinical Social Worker and have close to 20 years’ experience in the community and health sectors - working with children, adolescents, adults, families and groups.
Most of us spend a lot of time doing things for others, and it usually means we don’t take the best care of ourselves. Overtime many of us will experience a number of concerns or face unforeseen challenges, such as relationship worries, family dynamics, parenting, trauma, employment or educational problems, bereavement, becoming a Carer or unexpected illness. When we forget to make time for ourselves and take care of our own needs, we can lose our sense of who we really are. If you’re feeling lost or are uncertain of how to make the changes. If you’re feeling like you need to reconnect with yourself and refocus, then I'm here help.
