Potential outcomes are heightened self-awareness, unveiling of hidden/unconscious truths, emotional blockages released, increased self-esteem, heightened clarity, reduced confusion, improvement in general wellbeing.

Change is inevitable so the saying goes. Changes in our relationships are changes we often feel deeply: with our partner; in our family; with our children as they grow; with our parents as they get older; in our workplace; with friends. We can also experience change in ourselves: the place we live; our health; our life goals. Mostly we have the capacity and resilience to thrive through change. But sometimes we experience frustration, hurt, pain, anger, sadness, despair. Sometimes we can feel stuck. It may be working with a counsellor like me will help better understand the experience and rediscover your resilience.

I specialise in the treatment of mood & anxiety disorders, PSTD and trauma, self-harm and suicidal ideation, emerging personality disorders, psychotic disorders, identify and self-esteem, restricted eating behaviours, emotion-regulation difficulties, parent- child relational issues and family therapy.
Seeking support takes a tremendous amount of courage and is an important first step in addressing issues that cause distress or unhappiness. I believe that creating a safe, welcoming and accepting space is essential in helping clients make contact with difficult experiences, and in developing a richer understanding of themselves and their emotions. With 20 years of experience working in community and inpatient mental health services, I use a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach which is client-led and tailored to individual needs. I have capacity to see people short-term or long-term.
