I create an atmosphere of compassion and focus that lets us get to the root of the problem in a considered, non-judgmental way.
Together we work through the patterns and obstacles behind the difficulties you are facing, keeping anxiety at a workable level so you can stay present while facing hard things.

Get in touch
Reach out through the contact form to ask about face to face availability.

Initial assessment
The first appointment is ideally a two-hour session, giving us time to understand the problem fully and plan the work ahead. If needed, we can spread this across two sessions.
03
Ongoing sessions
After the first session, we arrange regular 50-minute appointments and review progress together as we go.
04
Consolidating change
As anxiety settles and automatic defences ease, feelings and memories that were out of reach can be worked through at a pace you can manage.
