Philosophy & Vision

My mission is to provide therapy tailored to you! If you're ready for change, together we can work out the best fit method for you to reach your goals. I'm an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist and uniquely I'm also a qualified personal trainer. I'm a certified DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) practitioner and offer DBT Skills groups and individual DBT sessions in person as well as online.

Background

I've been working in the mental health sector in a variety of client facing roles over the last eight years. I've worked in large NGO's, with multi-disciplinary teams, in small grass roots organisations and in private practice providing therapeutic support to clients with complex mental health, addiction, family conflict and trauma. I work with individuals, couples & families.

Services

  • Counselling, Psychotherapy, Couples Therapy, Group Therapy, Coaching / Mentoring, Phone Consultations, Online Video Consultations
  • I support clients to work towards their goals in whatever way suits them best. For those wanting to work through a specific problem or issue, I work in a strengths based, practical and solution focused manner. For those who looking for deeper understanding of self, I work in a psychodynamic manner where clients are supported to explore and increase their awareness of their emotions, patterns and behaviours in order to create long-term change.
