I offer an adaptive and integrative style of working to help you get some clarity and cope with your current circumstances and past experiences. I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with BACP and have trained to work with individuals and couples.

What you want from therapy

You may know exactly what you are looking for in therapy or you may simply know that the way you are right now is not working. In both cases I can work with you to understand what you are looking for and to help you get there.

I work with couples and individuals on all sorts of presenting problems. This includes relationship problems, anger issues, sex problems, anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, etc.

My style of working

I work integratively, which means that I adapt my style of working based on two things.

1) What brings you to therapy. This could be a life change, divorce, anxiety, stress, addiction, anger issues, sex problems, or something else.

2)   Your preferred style of working. Some like to work cognitively and want to understand the problem they face while others like to understand why they feel the way they do. You may find a way to feel better, find a solution of perhaps simply seek clarity. It may be something you have not through yet.

I generally work with my clients to develop a short-term coping strategy first. To go deeper or not is your choice. I believe the past and the present are inextricably linked. In some cases, understanding and working through a traumatic incident(s) in the past may be the best way. If you want to explore the past then I can help you do that or we can work through what you are experiencing in the present. We will work at a pace and to a depth you decide. Regular reviews will ensure that we remain aligned with the direction you want to go in.

What I offer

I offer an empathetic, confidential and safe environment for you to explore whatever it is that is troubling you.

I work with families (adult members only), couples and individuals on all sorts of presenting problems. This includes relationship problems, anger issues, sex problems, anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, etc.
