I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship where my clients feel safe to be open and vulnerable. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental, and empathetic space for you to share your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and struggles.

 

I take a collaborative approach to help you to identify your own priorities and goals and I aim to assist you to implement changes and build skills that will continue to help you beyond our time together. Importantly, I hope to help you to both reduce distress and improve your well-being and life enjoyment.

 

To assist in supporting you to reach your goals, I bring maturity, broad life and professional experience, along with kindness, lightness, and humour.
