I am a warm and open-minded qualified and experienced therapist and will offer you compassion, honesty and a safe space to explore whatever is going on for you past or present.

I understand that life can be challenging, complicated and painful, and sometimes we don't know where to turn. It can be hard to express our thoughts and feelings to family or friends, but we can still need someone who will be by our side who can help. I would love to be that person for you, to help you with respect and care, human to human allowing you to know you are not alone.

I will work with you in a supportive way, where you can explore and reflect on whatever you wish to bring, leading to a sense of clarity and a way forward.

Why me?

People choose to come to me because they want to find a way to make changes or work on a specific goal. They want to understand themselves more or they simply wish to be heard and valued. I do this by offering my warm acceptance of you, within an honest, kind and caring relationship. I hope to put you at ease whilst you achieve greater awareness and sense of self.  

I also understand the effects that the below can have on us both physically and emotionally, and can help you to feel safe whilst we explore these through talking or creative ways. I can help ground you and give you time to pause if you need it, I always work at your own pace.

I typically work with people who have experienced or are experiencing abuse, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, self-esteem/confidence issues, depression, relationship and family issues, and the menopause. I also work with people who are neurodivergent (autism, ADHD) or have family or friends who are and have personal family experience with this too. 

This is not an exhaustive list, as life is complicated and can throw a whole host of issues in our path.
