As your therapist I will engage with you as a person rather than a set of symptoms. My aim is to help you make changes, to come to terms with difficult dilemmas. I will offer you a safe and confidential place to explore, express and understand your thoughts and feelings. I am an integrative therapist which means that I can work with a wide set of therapies rather than a fixed approach. We are all faced with difficult struggles in our lives, most we work through but some leave us feeling trapped and unable to see a way forward.. I work holistically taking into account all the aspects that makes us human. Steps and emotional pain can sometimes cause us to shut down some of these aspects causing anxiety and depression; our work together is to understand and heal from this.
When I completed my training I worked for sixteen years a therapist in a centre for alcohol and substance abuse. This has helped me to understand the root cause of addiction and to list this as one of my specialisms. I then worked part time and for eight years as a therapist and coordinator in a project for domestic violence. I supported survivors of both gender who were in violent and abusive relationships. For the past ten years I have solely had a private practice.
