About me and my therapy practice

No issue you bring is too trivial for us to explore together. I will meet you with professionalism and without judgment and to help you decide if we could work well together I offer a free 30 minute consultation.

Sometimes, understanding how or what we are feeling, or why we feel a certain way can be confusing. At other times, we may know exactly what feels most pressing. Knowing where to begin in resolving some of these difficulties can prove challenging and overwhelming, impacting on your relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself. You may experience this as:

Low self esteem
Anxiety
Conflict
Sexual issues
Disconnect
Inner critic
Loneliness
Uncertainty
Procrastination
Feeling stuck
Unwanted patterns of behaviours
Sleep problems
Racing thoughts
Anger
Low mood

Therapy is a personal and intimate process, focused on your emotional and relational needs. Through discussion and careful exploration you will have the opportunity to safely process, reflect and make better sense of what feels most important to you. Therapy can provide you with tools and strategies to better manage life鈥檚 challenges and relational difficulties. Therapy is a great opportunity to recognise and understand just how resourceful you are. The work we do together will be supportive and collaborative, enabling us to work towards the outcome you desire.

I work part-time as a Student Counsellor at a local university and have previous experience as a Youth Mental Health Instructor, Independent Sexual Violence Advisor, and Support Worker for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

I have a particular interest in how sexual behaviours can impact wellbeing and relationships.

I hold a deep understanding, personally and professionally, of those who identify as being from a minority group and appreciate the potential discomfort and impact this can have on the sense of self. I offer a space free of harmful judgments and attitudes and welcome all difference seen or unseen. The opportunity to explore and express your identity freely, in what can sometimes feel like a limiting world.
