Personal Statement

My role as a therapist is to be alongside my clients, supporting them while they seek further understanding and ways of managing emotions and situations.

I believe in my client’s inner wisdom and inner capacity to fulfil their potential in life. 

I can bring creativity when exploration with words might be difficult but also an understanding that we are all unique. Within this understanding I strive to support clients achieving their own needs and aims for the therapeutic work.
