I believe that therapy can offer a space to reflect, think and hear your authentic self without judgement. Providing a working therapeutic relationship allows us to understand your experiences and, in turn, can help to gain perspective on and overcome difficult narratives. I’ll support you to find your own way and to use your experiences as a way to grow and to discover a meaning that makes sense to you.

I understand that sharing your thoughts with someone new can be tricky, so I will always look at ways to support you to feel safe enough to begin and maintain the process of therapy.  You and I will have a mutual assessment appointment and a chance to see if working together will likely be helpful.

I use a variety of approaches and techniques in order to meet your unique needs. I will listen to you to gain an understanding of your presenting issues and we will see how these may have affected your here and now. We will learn how you feel about yourself and others, how your subconscious beliefs may be affecting your actions and what can be done to challenge them and change behaviours.

I can also help you to understand how your feelings link to coping mechanisms. We all find differing ways to cope with our emotional charge, some healthy and some not. I can help you learn to tolerate distressing feelings which can help us cope healthier.
