Trust In The Process

Life can be challenging, and fear of change can be difficult. Starting therapy provides a great opportunity to create change if you trust in the process. Focus on the here and now – where change and awareness can take place. Shifting perception has enormous benefits to your wellbeing and I can help you identify the strengths you already possess to make significant changes in your life.

Welcome to

Crossroads Psychotherapy

As a fully qualified psychotherapist with over twenty years in the field, I’ve worked across a diverse range of clients with a multitude of issues for therapy - I specialise in people, not stigmatising language, or labels. I create the space for you to be and support you to look at obstacles as opportunities, rather than blocks for growth.

Success in therapy centres on our relationship as therapist and client. A true partnership is based on mutual commitment, transparency and authenticity which builds during our sessions. At times, it might feel uncomfortable. But therapy is a safe space and discomfort is where change can take place – at your pace.

I offer short-and long-term sessions either face-to-face at my Bournemouth practice or via zoom online or telephone.

What happens during a psychotherapy session?

I offer a safe space where you can talk openly and freely about any difficulties you face. I draw upon a range of therapeutic modalities and tailor it to your needs.

Psychotherapy can help you gain clarity on an issue, change old patterns, untangle complex personal issues, or embark on a journey of self-development.

I provide in-person sessions at my private therapy room in Bournemouth, Dorset and online sessions via Zoom or telephone. These are flexible and effective ways to undergo therapy if meeting in person is inconvenient.
