Practitioner Statement

Are people always telling you that you’re too sensitive, too deep, that you’re over-reacting, or that you think too much? It may be that this is just the way you are, or perhaps you are going through a difficult time such as menopause or empty nest. You may be feeling that life is a daily struggle, and that you feel fragile, anxious, frustrated, lonely, exhausted, burnt-out, or tired of being criticised. You may be busy taking care of others but your own needs are unseen, and you’ve lost – or never found – a sense of who you are.

I work with adults who are sensitive, highly sensitive, or are struggling with menopause or other change in life, and would like to understand themselves better and find out what really matters to them. Together we can explore different ways of coping when emotions are running high or relationships are difficult.

I am a kind, gentle and compassionate therapist with over 15 years’ post-qualification experience. I have undertaken further trainings including trauma-focused therapy and self-compassion, and am a qualified Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping) practitioner.

I offer a free, no-pressure 15 minute call to see how we can work together. Please do contact me.
