I specialise in supporting adults, young people, and children aged 6 and up. My clients seek to explore and understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours stemming from life events. They face challenges that have been caused by past difficulties and suffering, and they aim to achieve a harmonious and balanced life.

I strongly believe that in order to provide the best possible psychological help there is a need to build tailored, high-quality programmes for each and every client. I offer a bespoke approach with a strong focus on discretion, privacy and confidentiality.
