The decision to come to therapy is by no means an easy choice. It can take great effort to summon up the courage to speak about deep and personal issues which are affecting our lives and of course, making change in our lives can be a difficult task. Therapy can offer a helping hand along the way, it may help us to achieve personal growth, it may aid us to achieve a sense of stability and an outcome of good mental health. Perhaps you have been suffering mental anguish and no longer feel that you can cope with your life situation. You may feel that you are immobilised by anxiety or that you are affected by sudden bouts of unexplained anger. Have you been affected by depression or have you ever had suicidal thoughts? Do you feel unhappy or stuck in a marriage/relationship and feel that you are unable to resolve your relationship difficulties? Or are you simply stuck in a rut in some area of your life and need some help in moving on? In our therapy sessions, I will work with you to explore issues, past or present, which are emotionally difficult and which are affecting the quality of your life. Together we will explore ways in which you will be able to lead a fuller and a happier life. Families and friends can be great resources but sometimes we need an objective view of our situation to help us see, more clearly, our way forward.

I provide professional counselling and psychotherapy services on a one to one basis in which the client is encouraged to compassionately engage with their challenging thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Through understanding and acceptance real change is possible and a new way of being can be discovered. Whether clients are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relational problems, sexuality, or issues with their identity counselling and psychotherapy can help.My work is non-directive, focusing on non-judgmental empathetic alignment with the client. Of primary importance to a successful therapeutic outcome for a client is fostering a secure and trust-worthy working relationship. I do not provide a one-size fits all therapy but instead tailor my work to suit the needs, history and behaviours of each individual client. I believe that within each of us is contained a seed for growth that has been more or less nurtured depending on our life history. I see my role as helping the client to uncover and nourish that seed, to help it flourish. My wish for my clients is that together we may discover the strength, love and wisdom contained at their centre.
