Welcome
SPECIALTIES
Currently offering hybrid appointments that include face to face and Zoom.
I value the courage and commitment that is needed to embark on a 1-2-1 therapeutic process.
Our feelings are information and at times feel unbearable or overwhelming. In therapy, having a dedicated safe space will enable you to make sense of them.
As therapist John Bradshaw writes, "Anger is a boundary that guards us. Fear is telling us to go slowly and carefully. Sadness helps us complete things and recognise that life is a profound farewell. "
