About me
I have 20 + years of experience in psychotherapy. I have worked with people from various backgrounds in different countries and know that whilst we can sometimes change our scenery, we often carry our internal difficulties with us from one place to the next . It might be that old sense of being “stuck”, a familiar feeling of insecurity or low self esteem, a recurring pattern of relating to yourself or others that you would like to change , or the present day effects of past trauma. I am offering you a space to change those old beliefs and let go of the repetitive patterns that might be limiting so you can start to live your life more authentically. I offer a brief, free 15-minute initial call to see if we are a good fit

Approach
My approach is insight-led and focused on creating not just awareness but real progress and change.
I integrate EMDR as a gentle way to process those emotional traumas that keep you repeating unhelpful cycles. We will use it to “unlock” the present, clearing the path so you can move forward with more awareness and confidence.
Currently my focus is on:
- individuals seeking to understand and change recurring life patterns that are creating distress.
- Expats navigating the gap between where they are and how they feel, or experiencing burn out.
- Personal growth : moving beyond old “stuck” versions of yourself.
Please note: to ensure the best focus for my clients, I work exclusively with individuals and do not offer couple therapy sessions or acute crises management for personality disorders.
