Life can be hard sometimes. Feelings of anxiety, anger, or sadness can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or unhappy with our current situation. Significant life events are often difficult to cope with or adapt to. Are your relationships facing challenges, at home with family, or in the workplace? Are past experiences continuing to affect your present well-being? Whatever it is that has led you to seek counselling, this step is an important one.

Counselling offers space to explore your experiences, to understand difficult and painful feelings and examine your thoughts. It gives you time to recognise your needs and find your path to emotional wellbeing. Whatever challenges you face, you don’t have to face them alone.

As a psychodynamic counsellor, I offer a calm, safe, collaborative, confidential therapeutic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, make sense of your past experiences, and find a way forward. Our sessions would take place either in person in my therapy room, online or over the phone. You choose what feels most comfortable for you.

I work with awareness and respect for difference and diversity and welcome enquiries from all cultures, the LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse communities. I aim to create a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels respected and valued. My therapy room is wheelchair accessible.

Counselling offers space to explore your experiences, to understand difficult and painful feelings. Somewhere new ways of doing and being can be discovered.
