Hello and welcome to my profile. Seeking help can be daunting, particularly as you may not fully understand your unhappiness. I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your difficulty, whether that is anxiety, depression, obsessions, sex and relationship difficulties, low confidence/self-worth/self-esteem, or any other issue which is causing you suffering. I work collaboratively, building a safe and trusting relationship in which we can understand your difficulties, their meaning for you and their impact on your life, as well as helping you decide what you want from therapy.

We all experience difficulties in our lives, often made worse by assumptions and beliefs about ourselves, others, relationships, and life in general which cause emotional suffering. I’ll help you explore these assumptions and beliefs, so that together we can help you find healthier and more positive alternatives, leading to greater peace and happiness. I use Transactional Analysis (TA) to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours in a way similar to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), building a strong therapeutic relationship to find a way of working suited to your individual needs, using mindfulness to help you connect with your feelings and heal emotional pain.
