Taking the first step towards emotional well-being can feel daunting, especially when faced with the pain and complexity of trauma or unresolved childhood experiences. As a client-centred therapist with 20 years of experience working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I am committed to placing you at the very centre of your healing journey. Your needs, your pace, and your story shape our work together. The client-centred model of therapy means that I am led by you—offering support and understanding as you explore yourself, life transitions, and the challenges that arise from early childhood experiences. I recognise how these experiences can deeply influence how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we move through the world. Sometimes, these patterns lead to mental health difficulties, self-doubt, and emotional distress. Healing begins with awareness. Together, we can gently examine the impact of your past and present experiences, always working at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, aiming to create a supportive environment where you can understand yourself more fully and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of living.

Making the decision to find a counsellor can be a difficult task, whether it is your first time or you are returning back to counselling. It can be a huge step in itself, as you may be experiencing a number of feelings, such as: what if I look silly, what if my problems seem unimportant or what if I don't know where to start? This is normal; honestly do not let this stop you. Please don't hesitate to call me and ask any questions, and then decide if you would like to come along to a free consultation? It's my belief that we all have our own answers to our difficulties and sometimes all we need is a safe place to explore our concerns. Also there are times when the ones closest to us aren't the best people to discuss our concerns, as our relationships with family and friends can often be the source of our distress. At Building Bridges I provide  a safe caring, non-judgemental and supportive space which allows people to explore issues within their life that are presently causing distress. Therapists use different approaches and interventions to suit the requirements of the client. The goal within the therapeutic relationship is help the client work towards making more positive choices.

I love helping my clients develop the tools they need to cope with all of life's challenges. Contact me today to learn more and book a session.
