About me and my therapy practice

My approach is non‑judgmental, compassionate, and grounded in creating a safe therapeutic environment where you can be your authentic self. I provide a space where will not only be heard you will feel that you are heard. You will be respected, and supported to explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy takes place on a weekly basis at the same time in the same location.

I work with clients experiencing a variety of issues, including anxiety, bereavement, bullying, cancer, depression, discouragement, domestic abuse (male & female), emotional abuse (male & female), family issues, ill health, living with pain, loneliness, loss, low self-esteem, obesity, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, shame, violence against women, workplace issues, relationship issues.

My first session

Your initial session will be different from our regular sessions. This first meeting gives us space to get to know each other and for you to get a sense of how I work. You’re welcome to ask anything that’s on your mind, nothing is too small, too personal, or too awkward. If it matters to you, then it matters to me and it's important that you have a safe space where you can ask it.

During this session, I’ll ask some questions to understand what has brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. I’ll also complete an assessment form to build a clear picture of your experiences so that we can work together in a way that feels safe, supportive and meaningful for you.
