As a play therapist, our goal is to use play as the child’s natural means of expression to tap into the subconscious and allow them a space to work through their emotions and become empowered to effectively reach their own solutions to a wide range of needs or struggles that your child may be facing.

Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, and for some this tends to be more difficult as they struggle to understand what they're feeling, never mind find the words to describe them to someone. People often find that when they voice their experiences, feelings, and worries, and confide in a professional who can offer support and help them make sense of these, they feel heard, understood, and often a little lighter from sharing the weight of these. I aim to help my clients to feel that little bit lighter.

Hi. Welcome to my page. I know it can be difficult to reach out, but you have already taken the first step towards positive change. We all struggle with the ups and downs of life at times. It can be difficult to work out why our actions and behaviours are not working to benefit us in life and why we might feel stuck. Counselling can help you to reflect on this and become aware of blind spots you have in order to free yourself from unhelpful patterns. I work therapeutically in many areas including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, abuse, trauma, relationships, work related issues, phobias, and self-esteem, to name a few.

Sometimes life can just feel out of kilter and we don't know why, or the weight of every day life is heavy. When we feel like this it can be helpful to have someone to talk to who is not already involved and invested in your life. Whilst I work across the spectrum of mental health concerns, I specialise in trauma therapy. Trauma therapy is suitable for anything from single incident events, birth trauma, Troubles related events, first-responders, complex childhood trauma, relationship trauma (and more), whether there is a diagnosis of PTSD or not.
