Counselling is a personal, confidential and rewarding relationship, which has the potential to positively change your life.

In my private practice I specialise in, but am not limited to, problems with relationships, substance addictions, family work and breaking self-destructive patterns. I work with individual adults and couples, in clarifying, understanding their problems and sorting out conflicts so they can make better decisions. This can result in peace of mind and harmonious relationships.
I offer an integrative approach to therapy using techniques and interpretations tailored to specific issues and clients. I help clients explore their feelings and life situations , so that they can make better choices and decisions for themselves. These choices will allow them to experience their authentic selves and to move forward with their lives in a productive and fulfilling way.

Life Issues
Is life not quite the way you would like it to? Understanding your feelings and behaviours is one of the first steps in enabling you to bring positive changes to your life. Counselling means you don’t have to go through this alone.
I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and general life stresses. Sometimes career and money issues are difficult to deal with, perhaps family problems are getting you down and there doesn’t seem to be any solution.
There are many reasons why individuals seek counseling. In the safety and privacy of my consulting room, we can work together to understand what you are going through, and create a plan to help turn your life around.
Couples and Relationships
Both individuals and couples can benefit from Relationship Counselling. Whether you are currently in a relationship, or have recently come out of one, or you find yourself in a pattern of unhealthy relationships. A relationship can be a fragile thing. Couples therapy can help get your relationship back on track and enable you to deal with issues that may be too difficult to deal with alone, in a healthy and supportive setting.
Relationship counselling can offer you time and space to reflect on your patterns of behaviour and to help you understand why you feel and respond the way you do. It can help you face past relational experiences, which may be unresolved, and which may be re-playing in your current relationship. At times, it is our learning in our own early family and childhood, which may be getting in the way of our current intimate relationships.
Problematic Behaviours
Whether you are struggling with a dependent or compulsive behaviour my extensive expertise in the field of addiction can help you break that cycle. Whether it is cyber addiction, substance misuse, an alcohol problem, gambling or eating disorder, if it is starting to cause you problems or you are starting to feel uncomfortable, help is available.
In privacy and safety, we can together explore the symptoms, possible treatment options, and the underlying causes that influence your behaviours. Addiction counselling is designed to do more than simply reduce or remove alcohol or drug use. It also focuses on getting the addicted person to examine and change their lifestyle whether it is addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, food or gambling etc.
