About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes we all get stuck and need some help working through life's challenges. We will work together collaboratively to process life's ups and downs at a pace that feels good for you.
I provide a safe, confidential, non judgemental space to explore and reflect on emotions and feelings so you are able to unpack and process issues.
My approach is to enable a deeper understanding of yourself which raises self awareness to help improve your sense of self and encourage a change in behavioural patterns.
I work with a trauma informed approach and have experience of working with clients who want to explore past trauma that affects the way they live in the present.
I am an Integrative Therapist - my approach empowers you to make decisions that feel right for you in a support environment.
