I aim to be supportive, caring towards my clients who I realise are making a significant step towards understanding their problems and feelings.
Everyone has a time in their lives when they feel they cannot cope, when others seem to not understand you or when life is just confusing.
I work with a wide variety of problems: anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relationship problems to name a few.
I work on a weekly basis for as long as is necessary. In the sessions you are given time to explore what is happening for you, working through your thoughts and feelings in order to move forward in life in a positive way.
As an integrative therapist I use whatever material you bring, which may mean staying with the presenting problem or it may be that we look back to the root of a problem from your childhood.
I work with small groups to relieve stress, anxiety and depression through discussion and sound meditation.
I run sound meditation workshops for individuals and professionals.Qualifications & Training
