I

If you find yourself overwhelmed by difficult emotions or feeling stuck in life and want to understand yourself better, please get in touch.  

I offer a safe place where you can explore your feelings, understand how you got here and ultimately begin healing and feel stronger.

I have a special interest in working with people affected by domestic abuse and childhood sexual abuse. I am LGBTQ+ inclusive in this work.

Recovering from abuse and rebuilding self esteem can be very challenging and I offer a gentle and accepting approach to understanding and finding yourself again.

Working Psychodynamically involves holding in mind that our past experiences can influence how we feel about the world, relationships and ourselves.  

I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is important in allowing you to explore whatever may be going on for you and to get to a place of compassion for yourself and the confidence to move forward in your life.

I mainly work weekly, sessions would be at the same time and place each week.  However, I can offer flexibility so please do get in touch if you require any other accommodations.

My therapy room is not wheelchair accessible as the building does not have a lift however, I will arrange accessible accommodation to make it possible for us to work together in person if that is useful.

The first contact following an enquiry would be a 15 minute phone call (if requested).

The first session would be a standard 50 minute session and we would look at your reasons for coming to counselling and what you hope to gain from it.  It is also a chance for us to get to know each other and ensure that we feel like a good fit for your journey.
