Special interest areas

I have particular experience with bereavement and loss among adults of all ages.

Personal Statement

Anybody can get stuck, feel lost, depressed or anxious. There might be a crisis or bereavement that has just hit you. I can help you identify negative patterns, challenge them, manage emotions and help you process a difficult event. My aim in therapy is to provide a warm, safe, open and confidential space where change is not only possible but also encouraged. I work with General Anxiety, Trauma, Family/Relationship Issues, Depression, Low self-esteem, Work issues and more. I specialize in any form of loss, especially bereavement.

 

I work with clients on a collaborative basis. We will think together about a focus for our sessions. The client can expect an open, non-judgemental, confidential space, where they can safely share what has been concerning them.
