Profile

Hello, I have worked with individuals and couples for 19 years as an integrative and interactive therapist. I know life can be complex and challenging; stuff happens and we get hurt.  We develop ways to never get hurt again which unfortunately can lead to more unhappiness and anxiety, sometimes leading to health concerns. 

I assume you are trying to get a feel for who would be the right therapist for you and preparing to make informed decisions. Successful therapy can be potentially life changing and "therapy" can seem overwhelming at times.

I offer a safe, supportive environment during which you can explore, gain awareness and the confidence to attain your goals and live life well.  My personal style is warm, engaging and down to earth.  Clients tell me I am easy to talk to and they feel understood.  I see myself as emotionally stable and friendly but I am very serious about working with people so they gain skills and confidence through the therapeutic process.  I provide support, information, guidance but importantly, aim to facilitate your own inner insights for change and direction. 

Psycho-therapeutic interventions are tailored to your unique needs, addressing the dynamic of what is presented, and the underlying cause.  I have found this to be the most empowering and effective, long term approach.  Depending on their engagement and motivation, my clients tell me, and I witness, amazing results in a session. Just how many sessions and adjunctive "tasks" just depends on the complexity of what you want to achieve and your resources.

People come with a wide range of difficulties including low self esteem, anxiety and depression, frustration and anger, work and relationship difficulties; just trying to cope. Some are exhausted by trying harder, working harder...some have almost given up. Most end therapy by empowering themselves to move forward in their lives with greater awareness and confidence. Some state they have never felt so good.

I specialise in (PTSD/PTSS) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, (OCD) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Addictions and Depression, including childhood issues, and chronic or acute health issues.

People need different support at different times during their "cycle of change" and I provide a flexible range of services.

You have read this far so take the next step so you can continue the ripple of change towards success in many areas of your life.   Call me today to help you further make informed decisions for yourself and your wellbeing. You have come this far...keep going.
