I believe that a safe space in which to explore our experiences and thoughts can help us find a way forward with our lives when things seem too difficult to manage and that, given the right environment and support, we all have a great capacity within us to find the answers for ourselves.  

​

In essence, I believe that a warm, genuine and non-judgmental relationship is the most important element of therapy and at the very heart of the way I approach working with my clients.  

​

As an integrative practitioner, I draw on different approaches to the therapeutic work depending on the needs of each client, as no two people are the same.  And after many years as a massage therapist, I believe that body and mind are inextricably connected, so part of the way I work might be to use mindfulness and increasing the awareness of what goes on in the body as well as in the mind.

​

I have experience in working with a range of issues including 

• anxiety 

• depression 

• self-esteem 

• gender and sexuality

• stress 

• relationship difficulties 

• work related issues 

• pregnancy and childbirth 

• suicidal thoughts.

​

My fees are £55 for an hour and I offer both long and short-term therapy.  

​

I offer face-to-face sessions or can also work online, via Zoom.
