Individual Therapy

I am an integrative psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of working with a wide range of issues including: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, postnatal depression, parenting, bereavement, anger management, OCD, eating disorders and family problems.

All of us face challenges in our lives and at times these challenges may feel overwhelming or too difficult to cope with, the way I work is conversational and supportive, I provide a confidential and accepting place to help you manage and explore whatever you are going through.

Psychotherapy can help us to understand and gain awareness of ourselves and our behavioural patterns, allowing us to take control of our lives and have choices about what we do and how we do it. We can become conscious of how we respond to and express different emotions, how we communicate, how we form and maintain relationships or how we manage conflict, and therefore we can develop the capacity to change things for the better.

Couples Therapy

Relationships can be one of the most fulfilling aspects of life — but also one of the most challenging. I work with couples using Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy (RLT) method, which focuses on fostering deeper connection by addressing the core patterns that cause conflict.

RLT encourages direct, honest dialogue while helping both partners take responsibility for their part in the relationship dynamic. The process involves recognising old patterns that no longer serve you and developing healthier, more supportive ways of relating. Together, we’ll work to create a relationship that is both loving and sustainable, with mutual respect and understanding at its core.

I work via Zoom mainly, with some in-person sessions available
