I qualified as Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist in 1992. It is my passion to continuously learn and expand my knowledge and experience in the field.  Psychotherapy offers you a safe and confidential space to explore any issues that may be causing concern or discomfort. In the process most people report a sense of resolution, empowerment and more wholesome wellbeing. It is very beneficial in addressing anxiety, unhealthy habits and addictions, mood swings, existential crisis, difficulties with relationships and communication, trauma resolution, stress related symptoms, and also to increase the expression of your full potential.  In the process we may use CBT, Gestalt, Bodywork Sensorimotor, EFT, Focusing, Transpersonal, depending of the topic and your needs.

I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist offering a safe and supportive environment for clients  to deal with issues such as stress and anxiety, sexual and domestic violence, trauma, loss and grief, anger management, chronic illness, relationship problems, low self-esteem, bullying, suicide. Counselling and psychotherapy give clients the opportunity to deal honestly and directly with their troubles and to see what's happening in a clearer light so that they can make positive changes. Feelings of inadequacy, blame, fear, guilt and shame can undermine our efforts to sort out our problems and we can fall back on unhealthy ways of dealing with the stress of our situation which sometimes involve hurting ourselves and/or others.  Understanding and accepting ourselves, making an honest appraisal of our strengths and weaknesses, learning to deal with difficult feelings and challenging limited thinking can rekindle hope and self-confidence and open a new path towards recovery and personal growth.  Counselling is a shorter term process that focuses on the client's immediate needs and where the client attends every week for anything from a few weeks to a few months. Psychotherapy is very similar to counselling but the process involves a longer commitment from the client to work on more complex or deep-seated patterns of behaviour that touch on buried or unconscious feelings, thoughts and experiences.
