How I could help you...

Clients describe my style as warm, personable and directional. I would hope that you feel empowered and comfortable in the therapy, and that you feel you are talking to an imperfect human with life experience, and some expert knowledge. In therapeutic terms I am a relational integrative therapist, which means I draw on many different tools, theories and perspectives, to develop a tailored approach for each client. This, as well as honest feedback and reviews, ensures that you get what you need from therapy.

I work with Adults and Young People.

You may want to make more sense of your previous or current experience, to better your relationships with others, or with yourself, to improve your mood, or to find more peace and meaning in your life.

I am energised by nature, healthy living, uplifting music, and connection with others. As well as being a therapist I am a mother, a wife, a sister and a friend.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I held various senior roles in big businesses , so I know and understand the pressures of working in the corporate world.

Working as a therapist is a great privilege. I can help with abuse, anxiety, bereavement, depression, health related issues, loss, personal development, PTSD and trauma, parental mental health, redundancy, relationships, self esteem, self harm, stress, work related issues.
