Psychotherapy Services – In person and Online

I have worked as a therapist for more than 20 years helping people create the positive change they are looking for.

I provide a warm, non-judgmental, confidential space where I work with you, on your therapy goals. Together we can explore areas of your life, thoughts and emotions, that you are struggling with. I focus on creating a supportive, trusting relationship, and use my experience to provide individualised therapy that matches your needs and situation.

I am experienced working with:

  • anxiety
  • attachment issues
  • self esteem
  • identity
  • depression
  • adoption issues
  • grief
  • problems with relating and conflict
  • trauma and abuse
  • anger
  • sexuality

Therapeutic Approach

I am trained and skilled using a variety of effective therapeutic approaches, including:

  • Attachment and Psychodynamic therapy which focuses on in-depth insight into how early life and attachments have impacted on our present experiences.  Making way for new ways you can relate to yourself and others.
  • EMDR helps process traumatic events, anxiety, and PTSD to reduce triggers and the experiences of feeling overwhelmed. 
  • DBT provides skills for managing emotions and relationships, including how to manage triggers and improve communication.
  • Internal Family Systems helps understand the parts of us and roles these parts have, including vulnerable parts. Opening up new energy, new choices, and different outcomes. 
  • Mindfulness helps us pay attention to our thoughts, emotions, and body sensations which support better self regulation.
