I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I will work with you as a whole person to support you to create a space for change and growth. It is my belief that healing is possible. Counselling and psychotherapy is one way to begin that change you are searching for. I know that you are the expert on your own life.
In listening deeply alongside asking questions, I will reflect aspects of you which may struggle to be known. It is my job to hear what makes life difficult in all its complexity. I know the importance of feeling heard and understood in relation to another. I will work to identify the resources which emerge in the work with you. This therapy will not only be about processing the hard stuff. I find that often the journey is a matter of guiding you to find your own right balance of being.
I work with a broad range of clients from those who are struggling with deep trauma to those with less complex difficulties.
I am Psychodynamically trained in the understanding of how our histories shape us and how we might find ways to reconnect with ourselves. I also work from relational, transpersonal and somatic perspectives, tailoring what is the right approach to each client. I work using a parts based model. This means that I am conscious that all times of your life matter and need to be listened to and considered by me. I work to help you clear the blockages that prevent you being grounded in your true self.
Alongside my work as a therapist I have many years of experience working in mental health and creativity.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
