I offer a warm and compassionate approach to therapy enabling you to feel safe and at ease.

My intention is to do my utmost to fully understand the thoughts and feelings that are distressing you. My aim is for you to feel truly heard without feeling judged.

This is done in a safe and confidential environment and working in this way will allow you the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings on a deeper level.

I also work with clients who are suffering from sex and pornography addiction. This is an area that clients can feel ashamed to discuss at first . I would like to let you know that this is quite normal. If this is a problem that you are facing please be aware that like all my clients I will not judge you.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss anything further prior to booking.
