How I Started

I discovered counselling as a second career after spending a number of years in both the gaming and hospitality industries. Having lived through my own difficulties, these experiences led me to train and pursue a career in counselling and therapy myself.

How I work

How I Work

Engaging in therapy with me at my home-based practice consists of an hour-long session each week where I will listen closely to what you want to say and what you need me to hear. I promote the opportunity to engage in an honest, open and realistic dialogue and endeavour to

work collaboratively with you in order to help you find your own path. I believe that working strongly together will help you discover a new way forward towards an independent and autonomous existence.

The relationship that we build and develop between us will be the key to that process. I am particularly interested in areas such as jealousy/envy, self-identity, the power of self-acceptance and the relational dynamics between the adult, parent and child ego states.

I am trained and work with an Integrative approach using a wide range of theoretical models to help shape me and my thoughts in relation to you and your process. As we navigate and explore the conscious and unconscious we will endeavour to unpick unhelpful behaviours, beliefs, processes and assumptions you may hold, to help enable you to find a different way of being in relationship to both yourself and others.
