Relational Integrative Psychotherapy
I am a relational therapist with each person being of equal value. I work with you to help you find the answers and direction that is right for you.
As an integrative psychotherapist I use a range of models of psychotherapy. By working with both the mind and body I work creatively and in collaboration with my clients to explore ways of working that suit their unique personality. I work with openness, understanding and self-acceptance without judgements, attitudes or expectations.
My blog categories:
1) Anxiety and excessive thinking
2) Crippling shame
3) Connecting with our emotions.
4) Interactions with ourselves and others.
5) Reclaiming Calm.
It is widely known that there are not the resources to meet our mental health needs. I have seen the results of this in many years immersed in communities suffering from issues such as addictions, anxiety, anger management, shame and abuse. In my experience many who are suffering do not see how therapeutic journeys can help, or are relevant to them.
To help break down barriers about mental health I continue to share relevant theories and insights from my own journey and my work as a therapist through various blogs.
By using everyday language and situations I hope to give some understanding into the most common issues of mental health. I discuss how having therapy can help us overcome issues, help us make healthier choices and better connect with ourselves and others.

I find myself on a journey which I never planned or
even wanted and at times I find it is tearing me apart.
Yet it is such a precious journey taking me to destinations
I never thought I could go.
