Therapy that Works
Does life feel drained of all color and meaning? Do you sometimes feel you have to drag yourself through the day, like you’re wading through mud?
Or maybe you’re plagued with anxiety, your chest tight, your mind racing, obsessive thoughts torturing you, day and night.
Or you’re stuck in the same frustrating patterns in your relationships, or in your work, and you can’t figure out why – but it’s like Groundhog Day, and you’ve had enough.
Whatever your difficulty – anxiety, depression, relationship issues – you don’t have to keep suffering. Research consistently shows the average person at the end of therapy is better off than 80% of those who have not had therapy*.
The right therapy is transformational and I am committed to helping you achieve the change you need. I won’t just sit and listen; I will guide you and challenge you. We will work together in a focused and intensive way, aiming to get to the bottom of your difficulties and resolve them.
The result? More connection to yourself and others, and more meaning and purpose. You’ll get the color back into your life.
So what happens first? We’ll meet for an initial session – a trial therapy – to see if we’re a good fit. Get in touch today, if you want to take that first step towards change.

The wounds of the past can keep us caught in destructive patterns in the present, leading to depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and other problems. Inside each of us, though, is a great promise which increasingly emerges as we begin to resolve these inner conflicts.
I take an active and engaged approach to our work, in partnership with you, as we explore the underlying causes of your difficulties, and seek to resolve inner conflicts and free your full potential.
People often feel anxious, taking the first step to contact a therapist.
This is understandable, but in my experience, most people who take that first step find the journey of psychotherapy deeply rewarding.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to know more. And if you’d like to book a trial therapy session, to see if therapy is for you, I’d be more than happy to hear from you.
