Are you wondering if your life can ever change?

Experienced and approachable  therapist, with a track record of helping individuals become their own person, and couples to communicate, the things that need to be said.

​You'll gain a clearer perspective on your circumstances. You'll also experience a positive change to the feelings, thoughts and reactions that are affecting your enjoyment of life, and relationships.

​Together we will identify how old patterns of thinking, significant relationships, people-pleasing, or unhelpful relational behaviours, have been holding you back. Its possible to replace self-doubt, with self-worth.

​I have particular expertise in supporting people  with;

​​​​​​

A lack of self love

A difficulty in trusting others

Thoughts that can't be got rid of

Problems within relationships

A pattern of choosing unavailable partners

Sexual Anxiety

Low Sexual Desire

A difficulty in getting things done

Managing Anger

Problematic use of the internet

Burdening Relationships and Responsibilities

​.I work on a long and short term basis.

​I work with members of AXA, Aviva and Vitality Health

​

The first session is a chance for you to explore how it feels to work together. It is focused on you, and what you want to achieve by working with me. I will explain how I work, and if we feel we are a good fit off we go.

The first session, is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns, and explore whether the experience and approach I offer, suits you, and the issues you want to work on. We will discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy, and what you may want to achieve.

If we decide that we are to work together, we will arrange a regular time, and day to meet.
