“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.”
Carl R. Rogers

I’m a fully qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I have experience of counselling on a range of issues, some of these include grief, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, abuse, trauma, relationship breakdown, relationship issues, family problems, illness.
I have a special clinical interest in narcissistic abuse and tailor sessions specifically for clients who have been impacted by this. I also have a special clinical interest in trauma and post-traumatic stress & have recently undertaken an academic research project about the effectiveness of my therapeutic approach for people impacted by this.
