I understand that it can be difficult to cope when life events stop us from living life as we want to and how difficult it can be sometimes to reach out for help. You don't have to go it alone; I am here to help.
As your therapist I can offer you a warm, confidential, safe and non-judgemental space where you will be heard and understood. I offer face to face and online therapy.
Facing difficult issues or even thinking about how to make changes can often feel scary and daunting. In your first session we will discuss what has brought you to therapy and what changes you may want to make. We can explore your thoughts and feelings and set some goals for change when you feel committed and ready for this.
I have 26 years experience as a therapist working with issues such as anxiety/stress, low self esteem/self worth, bereavement, depression, attachment issues, separation anxiety, health anxiety, OCD and complex PTSD. However, I specialise in working with clients presenting with adult and childhood sexual violence
and domestic violence.
