People consider therapy for many different reasons. It offers space to focus on your difficulties in a safe and constructive way. It can help you to see things more clearly and deepen your understanding of yourself and your life.

I aim to offer a safe, caring and non-judgemental space where you will be accepted as you are.

Life is not always easy. Often we carry symptoms from our past that cause us to struggle on our journey. Talk therapy can help alleviate those difficulties so that you do not have to suffer in silence.

I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.
