It takes courage and honesty to decide that you are not satisfied with your life. You might know that you need change, but you are not quite sure what, or, how to go about it. Alternatively, you may have a very clear idea of what is getting in the way of you thriving. Perhaps you have found the last couple of years a challenge, or you are generally feeling a bit lost or confused having difficulty processing the impact of the pandemic on you, or your young people/person, or any other barrier/s. Regardless, we can work together to rediscover hope, purpose and joy in your life.

I became a psychologist because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live the best life they can. Life is constantly changing and this uncertainty can be a challenge for some people, and may lead to anxiety and depression or other disorders. I utilise a range therapies to meet the differing and deeply personal needs of my clients. I work in collaboration with clients to identify the areas of difficulty and together we set goals and work towards them from a strengths based perspective.
