My approach is also strongly informed by humanistic approaches, where the core values are of meeting you where you are, being genuine, authentic and non-judgemental.
Are you struggling with anxiety or feeling low? Feeling stuck? Has life become confusing or difficult, are you having relationship or family issues? Did you have difficult moments or experiences in the past? Or maybe things aren’t working out the way you want or the way you hoped? Life can throw up many problems, and we all sometimes need someone to hear us. — For a fuller picture please visit my website.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 20 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

Are you struggling with anxiety due to loss, relationships, work or coming to terms with episodes from your past? Maybe you want to explore why you behave, think or feel as you do, which can lead to positive change or self-acceptance. Have you kept worries to yourself for a while, not sleeping and not sharing how you really feel because you’re frightened that people won’t understand or that you’ll be a burden?

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, alone, or confused about life and relationships? Are you feeling overwhelmed and wanting to explore who you are and what you want from life? Depression, trauma, and anxiety can lead to feelings of despair or numbness, persistent sadness, and making it hard to move forward. During these difficulties life can get us down, making it hard to focus on what we need and struggling to see a way through. We can work together to identify the source of your difficulties and support you to connect with and better understand your feelings.

At any stage in life, we can experience changes or moments where it becomes difficult to cope with our thoughts and feelings. This can result in feeling stuck and not knowing how to process what we're experiencing. What can make this more difficult is knowing who or how to open up to others or feeling like what you're experiencing is too much for someone to understand. Having a therapist allows you to share all parts of you, parts that are accepted wholeheartedly without shame or judgement, which may not feel possible even with those you feel closest to.

It is not uncommon to feel this way, especially if you have been trying to navigate life’s complexities on your own.

Feelings like sadness, guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety are all too familiar to many. These emotions are part of our shared human experience.

Events and relationships from our past can sometimes, out of awareness, impact us in the present. This can feel confusing, unsettling or even scary. I offer a warm, safe and compassionate place where you can feel heard and where we can try make sense of what is happening in your life. For the past 10 years I have supported people with a range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, shame, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, self harm and suicidal ideation.
