About Me
I’m a passionate therapist who holds a high standard of practice and shows up to every session with integrity, grounded presence, and warmth.
I have lived experience of mental and physical health challenges and was inspired to enter the field due to feeling that I could make a difference in people’s lives in a meaningful way.
Having done a lot of therapy myself, I have an understanding of the challenges of creating meaningful change, and also the immense value in it.
Diagnosis and Assessment
While, as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I am not able to offer clinical diagnoses and formal assessments, I have a broad understanding of a number of clinical presentations that you may bring. For example:
Bipolar
Major Depression
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
ADD and ADHD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
If you are not sure if I can help you based on another diagnosis, I will happily discuss this with you before booking in a session.
