How I Work

She offers weekly therapy to individuals and couples and supervision to Counsellors, Psychotherapists, and Social Care Workers. Whether you are thinking of coming to therapy at a time of crisis, or to understand more fully what is happening in your life, talking with a therapist can be very helpful.

She will provide a safe and confidential space and support you to explore thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may affect the way you think about and relate to yourself and others.
