I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist.  I provide a safe space for people to explore elements in their lives that may not be working for them anymore and the opportunity to look at difficulties, challenges, hurts and struggles.  My aim is to help people to access their own capacity to regulate challenges and to work towards cultivating some contentment and happiness in their lives. I integrate Person-Centred, Psychosynthesis and CBT approaches in my work.   Some of the issues I can work with you on include: stress, child issues, guilt, loneliness, shame, bereavement/ grief, isolation, depression, separation, relationship issues, fear, anger, low self-worth and low confidence/ self- esteem, overwhelming anxiety, job loss, gender issues, sexuality and more.

Stress, work related and other

Anger issues

Counselling helps us cope with life's struggles and un-expected events that life throws at us. Having a professional listen and empathize with your situation and leading you to a suitable outcome that works for you is part of counselling. I work in a pro-active way with my clients that leads to identifying the cause of the problem so that peace can be restored

Life coaching helps you focus on your true purpose in life. It allows you explore the best possible route to achieving your goals.

Stress is the result of poor life management. Often can be the result of trauma, abuse and loss. Identifying the root cause often allows the client to make better choices going forward.

PTSD can vary from person to person.  I offer therapy in a way that does not re-traumatize the person. I give safe and trusted guidance to resolve past or immediate traumas. Those in dysfunctional abusive relationships often suffer PTSD and may be unaware of it.
