I enjoy working with individuals of all ages seeking to think together about and make sense of their experience and how this has come to shape who they are, their relationships and their way of being in the world. This approach may be helpful for people experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety; difficulties in relationships; issues relating to past trauma, grief & loss; difficulties arising from childhood experiences; or difficulties with adjustment/transition to life events. I also enjoy supporting parents in understanding their child's emotions, addressing parenting challenges, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.

Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact our emotional well-being and mental health. Often people tell me they have not felt comfortable discussing sexuality with other therapists and seek me out to explore issues of concern without judgement. As an accredited psychosexual therapist and mental health social worker I have worked for nearly 30 years supporting people to improve their sexual and interpersonal relationships, manage depression, anxiety, low self esteem, body image issues, sexual pleasure post trauma, grief, loss, communication difficulties and other concerns.

Mental and emotional wellbeing is essential for us to achieve our goals and be the best version of ourselves. Not understanding the functions of our emotions can lead to poor emotional regulation or ineffective communication. This can cause depression, anxiety and interpersonal difficulties. We sometimes develop unhelpful ways to cope with life's challenges. I can help you discover ways to decipher important information about our emotions so that you can learn to use it as a guide map to achieve your goals, and build fulfilling relationships.

As parents, we're pressured to have perfect families and bombarded with advice on how to raise our kids. But so many of us are struggling with little support - we usually don't have the 'village' people speak of. It’s no wonder we end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed instead of enjoying family life. If you feel exhausted, anxious or angry, or you feel guilty that you're not the parent you want to be - you are not alone. So many parents tell me they wish they'd enjoyed the early years more. I don't want you to have those regrets.
