In an ideal world, we would feel unconditionally loved and accepted, free to be openly ourselves, able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships and eager to explore the world around us. The reality is that many of us have had challenging experiences in our lives and we carry inner hurts and wounds. You may be experiencing overwhelming anxiety and/or panic attacks. You may feel depressed, stressed, worthless or have suicidal thoughts. Feelings of anger, sadness, grief, tearfulness or loneliness may be unbearable, perhaps due to bereavement, trauma, abuse or family issues. Maybe you struggle with low self-esteem.

In therapy, we work together to increase your awareness of what is happening for you, as well as any patterns you have developed in response to significant events and relationships in your life that may no longer serve you. Therapy offers a safe space to explore what it is you need now, and how you might move towards that. My approach very deliberately engages with your "whole-you" experience: your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, as you are, right now. I also pay special attention to how you are "in relation" with your context: the life situations you are in, the people in your life, and even the therapist in the room.

If you're seeking an experienced therapist with a deep understanding of both professional and personal life challenges, contact me. I provide a safe space where you and I explore difficult feelings and gain enhanced awareness of how past and present relationships, break-ups, grief or traumas may be affecting you from day to day. Your feelings of enjoyment and fulfilment in life may be painfully disrupted. Work pressures, difficult relationships, lack of support, sleep interruptions are just some of the factors that can drain your energy and leave you feeling low, lacking motivation and depressed.

Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you have a need to prove to others that you are good enough? Do you depend on the opinions of other people? Do you have repetitive scenarios in your relationships? Are you fed up with your old habits? Whatever challenges you have it is very important to understand that we are all learning and nobody is perfect, otherwise we would not be here on the planet Earth. I invite you to explore and release what is on the way to the real You, what is holding you back. Imagine what it would feel like to have a true freedom in your life. What would it look like? What would it sound like?

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with many years of experience working with a diverse range of people and whatever they choose to bring to their therapy.

I believe in helping you feel seen and heard - really listened to, perhaps in way you have not previously experienced.

Thank you for visiting my page. I am currently working online only. Life can present us with many challenges, some of which may be harder to deal with than others. I work with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, bereavement, addictive behaviours, and abuse to name a few, which can leave us feeling blocked, hopeless and unaware of what to do. I use an integrative approach to therapy which includes, gestalt, person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT therapy to deepen awareness of these blocks and to help you make a healthy change.

Are you feeling stuck? Like you are just going through the motions, living in autopilot? Maybe you feel on edge, overwhelmed, and like your emotions are going to spill over at any time. Maybe you swing from feeling really anxious and stressed, to feeling numb, shutdown and spaced out. Feeling sad, lonely and hopeless. Or a mix of all of these. You might understand what the issue is, and why it’s there - and yet you still feel the same. You don't understand why you haven’t just been able to move on. You might feel deeply ashamed about how you feel, hiding this or withdrawing from others. You are not alone. I can help.

I am an integrative therapist offering talk-based therapy, drawing on multiple therapeutic approaches to suit my clients. I work from a soulful (transpersonal) perspective which means I consider what meaning we might make of the difficulties we face as well as looking to understand what events and patterns might have created those difficulties. An important factor for therapy to be successful is the relationship between client and therapist. I work in a warm and sensitive way welcoming open conversation. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore both your internal world and the situation you find yourself in.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting. There are so many types of therapy out there. It can help to know a little about the way your therapist works. My view is that we all have the potential to lead fulfilling lives but we sometimes get stuck along the way. My task is to work alongside you, creating a warm, supportive and non-judgemental environment for us to figure out what isn’t working for you and support you to find more creative ways to face what life throws your way. You might have a specific goal we work towards or you might not know exactly what you need but feel you need someone to speak to. That's fine.

Most of us feel like we need extra support at one point or another in our lives. We might be feeling adrift or unable to navigate life’s obstacles or we might feel incapable of verbalising what is getting in the way of leading a joyful life. We may sense that we need to make a change but we don’t know where to start. Talking to friends or family might feel uncomfortable or even impossible, which can leave us feeling lonely and unsure if we will ever feel happy again. My role is to provide you with a safe space where, together, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings and enable you to make positive and lasting change.
