As both a “trauma-informed” coach and a Root Cause Therapist, my passion is working with clients who recognise that they have underlying thoughts and emotions which continue to keep them stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour on a day-to-day basis.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

Feeling distressed and like life isn't how you''d like it to be ?

Look no further. As an experienced Counsellor and Coach my expertise is to provide a healing and growth container where you can explore your emotions and ultimately work towards more empowering solutions.

The supportive space I provide is designed to give you what you need to heal from any distress and then move to a life of greater empowerment and wellbeing.
