At a young age, you made unconscious plans which determined the best way to survive life; this was reinforced by parents and caregivers, and influenced by events.  As an adult, you often respond to the here and now reality in an outdated way.  THIS CAN BE CHANGED.  I will help you to identify how your current strategies, perhaps necessary in the past, may not be serving you well today.

I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is crucial to the success of therapy.  I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and confidential setting; a place where we can fully determine what is really going on beneath your defences; defences which may have protected you in the past, but may be impeding you today.

I work integratively, inspired by a variety of Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches. I offer both short and long term counselling
