Special interest areas

I have substantial experience of working with depression and anxiety disorders. I have a particular interest in self-development and personal growth.

Personal Statement

My first aim is to provide a safe space to talk, explore and find ways to cope with problems and difficulties of life. Whether this is focusing on a specific problem, helping to find the right path or to straighten out your life.

Therapy takes a structured and practical approach, focusing on present day problems and clear goals, working to balance, normalise and put thinking into perspective. Learn and develop skills, put these strategies into practice safely through experimentation, monitoring results, and adapting strategies as required.
