About me

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in supporting those who find life challenging. I am best placed at helping individuals find their way, making sense of who they are and where they wish to go. My strengths lie in helping make closure on the past to achieve a brighter future.

I am warm, caring and creative, I offer both a safe place to reflect and explore as well as a place to grow and learn. I use a variety of tools such as Narrative Therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, person centred, transactional analysis, psychodynamic approach.
I also make use of creative techniques to overcome parts of our self that we may struggle with and ways to manage those overwhelming feelings and emotions.

I have successfully worked with clients who present with depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, hurts, habits and hang ups, loss and grief, parenting problems, career issues, adverse childhood experiences and trauma.

I am a passionate advocate for self-efficacy, firmly believing that no one knows us better than we know ourselves. However, we all need a little guidance from time to time to help us navigate life’s challenges and move towards our full potential. Just like a sunflower needs sunlight to flourish, we all need a little direction to grow and thrive.

If you feel ready for change and growth, take the first step and reach out. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
