Everyone needs support sometimes... reach out if you are looking for help.
I’m an experienced therapist and work with children, teens, adults, couples, and older adults. My approach is practical, kind, and non-judgmental. I focus on helping my clients address unmet emotional needs. I hold an advanced DBS check for working with vulnerable people and children.

The Human Givens (Human Needs) approach provides effective tools and teaches skills for everyday challenges as well as more serious issues such as chronic illness, grief, depression, and divorce.

If you have questions or would like therapy for your child, book a free 15-minute chat. ​
​
Here are some of the client populations and areas I specialise in:
1) Unresolved physical symptoms e.g. functional gastrointestinal conditions (IBS), functional seizures, chronic pain, migraines, and autoimmune conditions.
​
2) Chronic or terminal illness
All relationships hit a bump in the road sometimes. Relationship skills are learned, not something we are born with. ​
​
​​4) Dissociative Disorders
It's more than just zoning out. Dissociation is thought to be a form of childhood PTSD and is often misdiagnosed. You might lose time, have fuzzy thinking, or feel disconnected from your sense of self.
​
5) Stop smoking or vaping
Even if you've been smoking for decades, or you have relapsed many times, change is still possible. Quit and improve your health now!
