We all have our own unique stories to tell. Our stories holds significant clues about the struggles we experience in the present with our own needs and relationships. By exploring these things through therapy, we may open up new possibilities and maybe even rewrite our stories.

There is something both supportive and practical about taking some time each week to sift through the complexity of your life, and come to understand yourself more fully. What therapy provides is a space to be really heard, with the kind of attention that is deeper and more focused than that available in everyday conversations.

I offer weekly therapy, combining clinical knowledge with a down to earth and straightforward approach and I am able to help with a wide array of issues that are difficult to tackle alone.

If you think you might be interested in working with me you are very welcome to contact me to arrange an initial meeting. I offer a free 30 minute zoom call so we can meet and see if we might work well together.

Please email, text or phone and leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

We work together to explore the transition you are experiencing: relationship issues, intimacy, relocating to a new country, adjusting to a new job or changing careers, dealing with grief or loss, coping with changes in life as we age, or dealing with traumas or worries that seem stuck. We will  develop a plan for therapy, that feels safe, supportive and personalized to your hopes from the therapy.

I take great care in the initial session to explain the counselling process, explore your expectations and needs, and ensure that you really feel I am the right person to help you. After this we can commit to a further 6-12 sessions if you have a specific issue you want to work on or longer open ended work if appropriate.

I currently have availability during the week on the evenings until 8pm, Friday and on Saturday mornings.

It is my belief that counselling is not about seeking perfection, but is, rather a process towards acceptance of the whole self.

All of us are conditioned by our surroundings — our families, communities, societies, culture — without exceptions. No matter your creed, gender, colour, etc., we carry experiences from our past, tinted by the world around us.

Understanding who we are requires understanding these influences; otherwise, we cannot tease out who we are at our "core," from what we've been taught. Even if there is overlap, there is also a difference! I look forward to sifting through the layers with you.

I am an integrative Relational counsellor, which means I combine a variety of therapeutic approaches so that as we work together I can adapt to your needs.

In the initial 30 mins free consultation session we will be talking about yourself and the issues that have brought you to counselling, and I will answer any questions you might have about counselling and us working together. 

At the end of the initial 30 mins session if you decide that you would like to have counselling with me then we can agree a regular weekly time for your sessions.
