As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist & client is a crucial catalyst for positive change. With attributes such as warmth, empathy & emotional intelligence, I create a caring & non-judgmental space for clients to explore their issues. Drawing from my extensive experience, including specific expertise in working with the LGTBIQA+ community, gay males & addressing sex & relationship concerns, I help clients realise their capacity for inner peace & personal growth. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs by utilising appropriate therapeutic modalities, fostering a safe & confidential environment for their healing journey. Clients say they choose me because I seem kind & calm.

As a counsellor, I believe people are ultimately the experts on their own lives. I see my role as one to walk alongside clients & support them by: hearing their story, offering suggestions or new information & validating their strengths & resilience. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understood, validated and supported to be the best version of themselves possible. I understand one counselling model does not fit all as everyone is unique. I am a person-centred therapist; although I often incorporate other modalities, depending on client needs, which may include CBT, SFT, ACT, MI or EFT. I predominantly work in the areas of: grief and loss, suicide and bereavement, relationships, mental health and addictions.

I am a trauma-informed clinical psychotherapist. I work primarily in the areas of trauma, mental health and addiction supporting individuals and their loved ones. I seek to create a deeper awareness of self and enhance connection with others. By understanding our life’s journey and what shapes it, we can move towards a balanced relationship with the world and the connections it brings. I draw on techniques from existential and strengths-based therapies, attachment theory, EMDR, mindfulness practices and somatic therapies. My work is person-centred, collaborative, and experiential, focussing on reconnecting body and mind and supporting you to live a fulfilling life.
