I believe a welcoming, safe and supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing and personal growth. Working together, we will make sense of whatever has become a problem for you in the 'here and now' or enduring issues with their roots in the past. My hope is you will not only begin to feel better but know that you have been understood in the context of your history, gender, ability, sexuality and culture. I believe often when we are faced with fears linked to uncertainty, uncontrollability and unpredictability or feeling hopeless about the future, counselling/psychotherapy can provide us with the insight and skills that we need to make a lasting change.

My areas of interest are supporting individuals who are experiencing difficulties with OCD, anxiety (social or generalised), depression and low mood and trauma.
