About
I've always viewed therapy as a tool - a tool that can be used to facilitate growth and change and an opportunity to learn new skills and explore your own internal world. In the words of Bessel van de Kohl: “Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel, is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.”
The therapy I offer is practical and collaborative. My aim is to to share the skills and knowledge I have, with you, so that you feel fully resourced within yourself. Therapy is a space that's just for you, in a world that doesn't prioritise that enough.
