​
Therapy aims to help you achieve your natural state of well-being and the ability to regulate and manage emotions as and when they arise.
​​
We can't eliminate life's challenges, but we can learn to cope with whatever comes our way with calmness and compassion for ourselves and others.
​
Although no two outcomes are the same, people leave the process, reporting that their relationships have improved, and they feel more decisive, optimistic empowered and able to relate to themselves and others in a more confident and authentic way.


I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. Integrative Therapists are unique, in that we are trained to a high standard in more than one therapeutic approach, allowing us to tailor treatment to you and your needs.
​
The integrative approach recognises that many of the problems, that affect our lives, and are difficult to change, can be traced back to the unconscious part of the mind. I am trained to listen carefully, and at a deeper level, to help you understand your unconscious patterns of relating. This will help you to gain clarity, and resolve those thoughts and feelings that are holding you back.

I work sensitively and in a non judgemental way, helping you to understand what is on your mind.

I have helped people of all ages, genders and sexualities.

I am qualified and accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
