Making the decision to seek help or engage in therapy is not always easy. It is important to find someone who listens to you, and whom you feel you can trust. Training, skill, and experience is important, but so is the willingness to engage with you as a person.

I believe that we all have patterns of thinking, reacting and behaving that are not in our best interest. Equally, we have inner resources and strengths, of which we are sometimes not aware. Therapy should not only improve the problem, but also teach skills for tackling future problems.

Most of the therapy that I provide is short-term, designed to achieve long-lasting results in the minimum time by using therapies proven to be effective. I work with people across the age spectrum, and offer appointments for individuals, couples, or families.

The areas in which I specialise include anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, parenting, and emotional and behavioural problems in children. I have particular interest in mental health issues, blended families, step-parenting, grief, adjusting to disability, and adoption.

In addition to therapy, I provide supervision, assessments, consultation, and community education.
