I help adult individuals who are experiencing difficulties due to: a current or past relationship; family estrangement; or bereavement. These experiences may lead to various symptoms such as anxiety, anger, overwhelm, low self-esteem, people pleasing and many more. If you have a particular symptom and you’re not sure whether I can help with it feel free to ask.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through the contact form to schedule a free 30-minute consultation. In this meeting we can discuss your difficulties, and address and questions or concerns you might have about therapy or about me. I can also talk to you about how I would address with your specific concerns.

Many people come to therapy with a strong understanding of their past and their patterns, yet still feel emotionally stuck. My approach goes beyond insight alone. Rather than trying to get rid of symptoms, we work to understand them as meaningful responses shaped by your experiences. By creating safety and compassion within your inner world, deeper and more lasting change becomes possible.

You can reach me anytime via the contact page

Working with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced to what feels right for you. Clients often say they feel at ease, understood, and safe enough to explore things they may not have been able to put into words before. I’m attentive to both what you say and what feels unspoken, and I ask questions that help you gently go deeper without feeling overwhelmed.

If you find it difficult to open up, that’s exactly where we start. Most of the time this is a behaviour learnt from past experiences and I can help you with that. This behaviour ca be our friend in therapy as it sets the limits that are right for you. You will never be required to share anything you’re not ready to share. Every question I ask, every suggestion I make, is always conveyed as an invitation not a requirement so that you can feel in charge and safe at all times.

Yes, actually around half of my clients tend to be men. Many of the men I work with come to therapy wanting a space where they do not need to perform, be strong or hold everything together.

If this is you, you’re in the right place. It can be very disheartening and you might be very skeptical. If it didn’t work previously, why should it work this time round? There are various reasons why therapy doesn’t work. Sometimes it’s the affinity between the therapist and the client, sometimes it’s misunderstandings about what therapy is or isn’t, sometimes it’s the type of therapy or how it’s delivered. That is why this is one of the first questions I ask all prospective clients. I want to know what you’ve tried before, how it might have been helpful or unhelpful, so that we can learn form the past experiences and avoid making the same mistakes twice.
