I work with people with a wide range of difficulties and situations. People often come to me for therapy struggling with
Anxiety & panic attacks
Lack of confidence & self-esteem
Depression, feeling low & hopeless
Feeling unsure who you are or what you want
Loneliness & difficulties reaching out to others
Unsatisfying or abusive relationships
Problems coping with loss and grief
Often these difficulties have roots in early relationships and traumatic experiences, and so making changes requires patience and time within a trusting relationship. In therapy, at your own pace, we’ll your explore your life situation together and make sense of it.
My approach is Gestalt, which means as well as talking about your past and current life, I’ll encourage you to stay with your experience in the moment as you share with me. I’ll focus on what’s happening for you physically as well as your thoughts and feelings. I’ll often explore ways to help you get more in contact with your feelings as so often depression and anxiety are a result of a long history of suppressing emotions. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship, and it is through sharing yourself with someone you feel safe with that difficult feelings become more manageable and new choices become available.
The first step is to meet me for an initial assessment to see if we might be a good fit.

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
