Considering therapy can feel daunting at first, but most discover that being supported to share concerns in a confidential, welcoming space with a skilled listener, can have far-reaching effects on their lives and the lives of those close to them.

​

With over 17 years of experience, I offer a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy. Whether you are looking for short-term counselling, or longer-term therapy, my aim is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and able to explore your concerns.  

​

I combine a core Psychodynamic training with Compassion-Focussed Therapy (including practical techniques) where relevant.  Psychodynamic counselling explores the way in which past experiences may be contributing to current distress and facilitates healing through insight.  Compassion-Focussed Therapy explores the relationship we have towards ourselves and supports the development of a kinder relationship to self, alleviating often deeply held feelings of shame, guilt and fear. 

​

This combined approach can work well with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, eating disorders, as well as bereavement, loss, relationship issues, work-stress and many other areas of concern.
