About Me

I approach therapy from a humanistic and relational stance believing that we always have the capacity to change and grow in positive ways. I believe that the way we cope in our present-day lives is influenced by our past experiences and that going back into our childhood and examining that experience we may find clues as to where many of our coping mechanisms originate. When we become aware of this it gives us the opportunity to change these ways and find healthier, kinder ways of treating ourselves in our present day lives.

Adults, Couples

I can help with

I have worked in the fields of addiction rehabilitation and eating disorders and have also volunteered for many years on crisis helplines. I also have lived experience of problematic alcohol consumption, stress and anxiety and recognise what it feels like to be a woman getting older in Western society. I am also trained in couples counselling and EMDR.
