The presenting issue can be complex and the solution doesn't have to be

What made you want to become a therapist what do you specialise in and why? 

I am no stranger to anxiety, depression, addiction, crippling self-doubt, and feeling stuck. I know what it’s like to wake up in the morning convinced that the sky is falling... 

I have felt the frustration - and desperation - of saying “NEVER AGAIN!” Only to find myself wondering YET AGAIN(!)...how i could forget so quickly. 

Happily and gratefully, I also know that these obstacles can be overcome. When I came across the human givens approach  I was immediately struck by the simplicity and elegance of their organising idea: when our essential emotional and physical needs are met in a healthy balance, and we are able to use our innate mental resources (internal guidance system) effectively, we will be emotionally and mentally healthy. 

It made perfect sense to me. No psycobabble, evidence based, tailored to your needs, solution based, collaborative...

What will i get out of a session with you? 

• You will feel listened to, understood, and supported without judgment

• Together, we will explore whatever you bring to therapy, crafting a personalized approach that best aligns with your unique needs and goals

• I am committed to providing insights and information that illuminate your path forward and address areas where clarity is needed 

• If you’re feeling tense or anxious or have panic attacks I can help you relax, using evidence-based techniques 

• If you have experienced trauma or have a phobia, I can help take the emotional impact out of the debilitating memories that have kept you in a state of high alert

• I will also suggest practical, achievable tasks that align with the outcomes you desire

• One of my goals is to ensure that you leave our first session feeling empowered and hopeful for the journey ahead
