I am passionate about personal development and have been working in the health and well-being world for many years. My own growth in therapy began with a greater awareness and understanding of how my childhood relationships have influenced my adult relationships. In sessions, it was sometimes really hard to spend time with little me, yet it was both revelatory and life changing. 

It has taken a lot of exploration into my past to leave behind a lack of confidence, shyness and feelings of not being good enough. Patterns of behaviour like these may be linked to adverse childhood experiences and trauma in our past when we learn to push down our feelings. We can potentially damage our physical and mental health if we are not aware of the relationship between past trauma, repressed emotion, anxiety and depression and the strength of the mind/body connection.

I can support you, in either short-term or long-term therapy, to navigate any difficulties you may be facing as a result of something that might be happening right now or something from your past.

In long-term therapy we can work together to help gently release and let go of long-held emotion to understand and heal the wounds of the past. In short-term therapy, tailored to your needs, we can find tools and strategies to help resolve current problems. Whichever approach you choose, you will be supported in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and bound by the BACP ethical framework for good practice. I review my work regularly with a supervising therapist so that I can work positively, safely and effectively with my clients. I am also a registered therapist with betterhelp.
