About Me : I work with people from all walks of life to identify what is causing distress, and how to remove obstacles to growth. In psychotherapy, we unlock opportunities to see things from different perspectives and consider new ways of being in the world. Whether you come with a specific issue, or a generalised sense that life could be better, I welcome your inquiry.

My Approach : Are you looking for change, but you're not sure where to start? Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to make sense of experiences, feelings and thoughts in a safe, professional relationship. During our first few sessions I’ll support you to describe what life is like now, and what it’s been like in the past. As our work progresses, I will ask you to bring whatever comes to mind. I will not, however, push you to discuss anything you’re not really to explore. I will listen closely to get a sense of your experience. As the work deepens, with your permission, I will use “here and now” feedback to compassionately share emotional responses. This will unlock opportunities for you to relieve symptoms and consider new ways of being in the world.
