How I Can Help

I am a qualified psychotherapist with many years of clinical experience supporting adults aged 18 and over. I offer both online and face-to-face (F2F) therapy, working with a wide range of individuals facing different challenges.

Over the years I have developed extensive knowledge and experience working with issues such as trauma, stress, anxiety, confidence, and self-esteem.

I believe that each person has the ability, capacity and know-how to change the way they see themselves, and that shift in their perception of themselves can profoundly influence how they experience life. 

We live in an open world and therefore everyone has the right to think and feel as they wish, but many of us become so highly self-critical and judgmental toward ourselves—and this becomes a significant obstacle to our wellbeing.

All too often negative self-views affect every aspect of life and our interactions with ourselves or others, distorting how we provide and care for ourselves. This distortion muddles our perception and creates a constant stream of negative thoughts and difficulties that quietly influences our confidence, our self esteem, including our ability to recognise our own strengths and achievements.

My approach may be slightly different from what some people expect. I don’t see myself as the “expert” on you. Instead, my role is to work alongside you—helping you explore where these negative thoughts and beliefs have come from, how they developed, and whether they are truly accurate or even helpful for you today.

Many of these thoughts and beliefs developed from a coping mechanism that formed long time ago, most often as a way to help us cope with difficult situations or to protect ourselves in some way however, and over time, they can become overly critical or limiting.

I don’t claim to have a magic formula for a perfect life, I do offer is a supportive, non-judgmental, and safe space where you can speak openly and explore your thoughts and experiences at your own pace.

Through thoughtful discussion, some gentle (some more challenging) questioning, and most importantly plenty of encouragement, we can begin to test the validity, assessing the value of these unhelpful perspectives and move toward a more balanced and compassionate understanding of oneself.

Life can already be challenging enough. Perhaps we can work together to make it a little less difficult—and create a healthier, more supportive relationship with yourself.

Let’s see what we can do for your future self.
