About me and my therapy practice
Do you feel guilty because you never get everything done? Maybe you feel like you're letting people down?
Perhaps you are not sleeping because you are worrying about how the day ahead will go. Everyone else seems to be coping and you ask yourself, "What's wrong with me?"
If this vicious cycle is familiar to you, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands that life is placing on you. You will probably feel exhausted, and frustrated that you can never find time for yourself.
Relationships might be difficult or fraught. You may be feeling resentful anger towards those closest to you, which makes you feel even worse about yourself.
Practice description
How Therapy can Help You
I can help you to understand and accept yourself, and when this happens a number of things become easier:
- You will be able to accept other people, and your relationships will improve.
- You will feel less guilt and it will become possible to make choices about where you want to focus your energy.
- You will feel more in control and this will give you a sense of being able to cope.
Imagine what it would be like to live without guilt, to feel as though you are coping with life, and to have better and more meaningful relationships at home and at work.
Why Choose Me?I know from personal experience how powerful it can be to have someone really listen. I was in my forties when I first worked with a coach who helped me realise I could make choices about how I wanted to live and work — not just react to what was expected of me.
That was a turning point. I began to understand what truly mattered to me, stopped saying yes out of guilt, and saw my relationships and confidence improve.
That experience shapes how I work now as a therapist and a coach. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, explore what’s important to you, and begin to make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.
Clients often tell me they feel safe, heard, and accepted — and they leave therapy feeling more in control, more grounded, and more hopeful about their future.
