Life can get overwhelming, and you might find yourself at a crossroads, feeling stuck or seeking clarity amid chaos. Remember, it's okay to feel lost, anxious, or weighed down by your emotions; these are natural responses to life's ups and downs.

I offer a compassionate space where your feelings and experiences are heard and valued and where I can join you on your path to self-discovery and healing.

You might be navigating various emotional landscapes, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, or addiction. I've dedicated 18 years to the addiction field and become a psychotherapist in this time, working with individuals facing varied challenges.

I am:

Non-Judgmental: Here, you're free to express yourself without fear of judgment. It's a secure and confidential space to be your true self.

Empathetic: I approach counselling with a deep understanding of your unique story, struggles, and strengths. I listen without bias and offer steadfast support.

Collaborative: Our journey is a partnership. I'll guide you, but the direction is yours to determine. We'll set achievable goals and work at your pace.

Believe in Holistically Healing People: I believe in a holistic approach, recognizing that emotional well-being is intertwined with various aspects of your life.

I've walked alongside clients who have faced similar but not the same emotions and situations, and I've seen the transformative power of counselling in their lives. My commitment to you is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep belief in your ability to heal and grow.

You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Whether you're in search of clarity, healing, or personal growth, I am here to provide unwavering support and guidance. Your journey of self-discovery and transformation begins with the first step – reaching out

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation to help me understand why you're reaching out and to answer any questions you may have. During this conversation, if we agree that we can work together, we will arrange our first session.

The first session is focused on getting more details about the issues that have brought you into counselling and the agreement of working together.

Take the First Step, you don't have to navigate your challenges alone. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or personal growth, I'm here to support you. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.

Contact Information: Feel free to reach out for a free initial consultation. I'm available throughout the week and offer face-to-face, online, or phone sessions. I also offer walk and talk therapy.

Your healing path begins with the first step—reaching out. I look forward to connecting with you.

Empowering You to Reclaim Your Life:

Recovery is not about judgment or blame; it's about empowerment. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your addiction, the emotions you've been coping with, and the behaviours that have led you to this point. We can begin to heal and make positive changes by understanding the underlying issues.

Helping Families Heal Together:

Addiction doesn't affect just one person; it ripples through families and relationships. If your loved ones have watched you spiral into addiction, I'm also here to support them. I offer counselling sessions designed to help your family members navigate the complexities of addiction, enabling them to understand, support, and heal alongside you.

Non-Judgmental Space:

My counselling sessions are a judgment-free zone. I recognize that addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue, and I approach it with empathy, respect, and the understanding that it's a condition, not a moral failing. You can share your experiences, thoughts, and emotions without fear of criticism or condemnation.

Holistic Approach to Recovery:

Recovery is not just about quitting a substance or behaviour; it's about rediscovering your purpose, passions, and joy. I approach addiction counselling holistically, addressing physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We'll work on relapse prevention, coping strategies, building healthy relationships, and self-care to ensure your long-term success.
