I provide support for victims who have been  betrayed by their partners helping them to heal, gain clarity and make decisions about their future.  I also  work with those who have betrayed their partners and maybe experiencing feelings of guilt and shame. 

Self- harm

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

I provide therapy for those engaging in self-harm, self injury and/or thoughts of suicide.  Self-harm can take many different forms and is often an outlet for unresolved issues.  Building a trusting relationship and confiding in that person can be the first step for change.

OCD can be time-consuming and distressing.  It is often misunderstood so finding a therapist who can help you manage your obsessions and compulsions is key to recovery.  I can offer you therapy without judgement and give you the tools to help you to reclaim your life.
