Therapy

What is Therapy?

Therapy is like tending to a garden. It’s not about “fixing” yourself — you’re not broken. And it’s not just digging up old roots or endlessly pruning leaves. It’s about understanding what helps you grow, clearing out what’s holding you back, and making space for new things to bloom. Sometimes, you just need someone to help you figure out what your garden needs to thrive.

Individual therapy

With decades of experience, I tailor each session to what you need, using approaches like CBT, psychodynamic, and creative therapies. Whether you want short-term clarity or long-term support, we’ll find the path that works best for you.

Your first consultation is free — let’s start the conversation.

Couples therapy

Relationships can feel like a dance — sometimes graceful, sometimes stepping on toes. Therapy offers a space to rebuild connection, improve communication, and navigate conflicts with care. With years of experience, I help couples understand patterns, express needs, and find healthier ways to move forward together.

No pressure, just a chance to reconnect — book a free consultation.

Teens & child counselling

Growing up can be tough — for kids, teens, and the adults who love them. I specialise in working with young people, providing a safe space where they can explore feelings, build confidence, and develop coping skills. Using creative, age-appropriate approaches, I help children and teens navigate life’s challenges, from school stress to emotional struggles, while supporting parents along the way.
