Professional Profile

My experience in the last five years have taught me how to be approachable in all situations, I want my clients to feel welcome and that they are able to discuss with me anything that is playing on their mind without feeling judged or disliked. I believe I am able to provide a space for my clients that is serene and calm, helping them to feel relaxed and more open to sharing their thoughts.
From personal and professional experience, I have found the use of a therapy room for counselling a ‘safe’ environment. The sessions allow you to express yourself at a deeper level exploring areas of your mind or life whereby you may have some ‘unfinished business’.

Please feel free to give me a call to discuss how I can help you. If I’m not available please leave a brief message and I will get back to you. Alternatively, email to make an enquiry or arrange an initial assessment.

Relationship and Couple Therapy

Sometimes relationships may undergo periods of stress and it may feel as if they are a source of unhappiness or confusion. Relationship counselling helps couples and individuals explore problematic patterns that may be affecting their quality of life. The problem may be recurring or after an event or series of events.

We work with a wide range of couples from different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations

Psychosexual Therapy

Psychosexual therapy is an integrative approach which combines talking therapy with behavioural therapy. It can take place on an individual basis or with a partner. It will involve an assessment of the sexual issue (including any associated medical factors) whilst exploring further how the relationship, sexual development and personal history may be affecting the sexual issue. Behavioural exercises may be discussed in the sessions, which will then be carried out at home to help the individual or couple address their sexual difficulties.
