ABOUT ME

It is a big thing to be truly heard by someone who is unbiased and doesn't know you. If you are afraid you will feel embarrassed or won't know what to say, or if you secretly believe you might be totally unlike anyone I've counselled before, it's OK. You're OK. I don't judge, I know it is what it is. Counselling is about you, the client; with my help you are likely to experience a boost in self confidence, and the tools and skills you learn can apply to many challenging situations in your life. I know a lot about what it is like to recover from anxiety, depression and relationship strife. As a young adult I received a lot of counselling help which saved my life, so for me my psychotherapy practice is also a way of 'paying it forward'.

My Services

Anxiety, Depression, Overwhelm

Clients frequently ask me for tips, tools and strategies to help them resolve their difficulties in a
practical way. That may be you also. I can oblige. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a clinically
proven, practical approach to helping you cope with anxiety, depression, anger and relationship issues

Grief

I help grieving clients cope with their loss; it is possible to recover from grief. Unlike a friend, acquaintance or family member I offer objective insight, I accompany you on your grief journey during your time in session, and the insights I offer can help you in your progress.

Relationship

Communication skills are vital to all relationships, whether we are talking about cooperating successfully with work colleagues, family members or your intimate partner, improved relationships depend in part on deeper self-understanding, authenticity and confidence. I offer LGBTQ friendly relationship help for couples and individuals, as well as counselling for problems at work and school including bullying and workplace politics.
