I have a special interest in the transitions and dilemmas that can occur at any point during a woman’s life. These might include marrying; pregnancy; changes in role; relationship difficulties; and the challenges presented at menopause and during the aging process. It is common to experience uncertainty, confusion, fear, and pressure at times of change or loss. Depression and anxiety may emerge as well as other, less common mental health issues. Times of change or loss can be difficult for everyone. I work with all genders, without discrimination. It is not necessary to have a mental health diagnosis to benefit from our sessions.

I offer a safe and totally confidential space for us to work closely together to help you understand yourself and your relationships better, and to explore what may be going on behind the difficult emotions, thoughts and behaviours troubling you.

I am an experienced psychotherapist specialising in an evidence-based therapy that accelerates psychological change. I help people to overcome whatever is preventing them from living fully and freely; addressing the issues they bring with compassion and integrity, in a collaborative, focused and emotionally therapeutic way. There are always reasons for suffering, and when we do not tackle this it tends to be repeated throughout our lives, often without understanding why. Therapy can be life-changing; bringing confidence, vitality, purpose, a realisation of potential, and more satisfying relationships.
