They’re looking for clarity, understanding, and practical strategies to feel more grounded and confident. Their goal is to heal, grow, and create a life that feels calmer, more balanced, and true to who they are.

I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their struggles with body image, burnout, work/school stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I help clients build self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-compassion. Together, we focus on identifying strengths, celebrating progress, and empowering clients to create meaningful changes in their lives.

I have been working on myself for the past 6 years and healing childhood trauma to make me the best version of myself I can be. Since starting my own private practice to assist women with these issues, I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing women and help them on this journey called life and bring them back to themselves to remember who they are before the world took that away from them. Life throws us curveballs and it is not until we sit back and look do we realise how much it affects our every day life, relationships, work and the list goes on. These deep rooted problems will trigger us before we know why.

I work primarily with adults who experienced childhood trauma. If you have suffered from emotional neglect, physical or sexual abuse or any other trauma I can help with the emotional or psychological impact; the possible impairment of self- esteem/self worth, the dysfunctional relationships you may have at times and the physical health consequences of childhood trauma. I help you to identify how you experienced these as a child and what kind of feelings arise as you now look at the experiences through an adult lens. We keep one foot in the present whilst accessing the trauma experienced and help you move to resilience and recovery

I enjoy working with adults (over 18 years) of all genders and backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with older adults, neurodivergent individuals, people in the (peri-post)menopausal period, and people who have acquired PTSD from work, such as police officers.
I aim to create an environment where you can show up as your authentic self. So I am genuine and straight talking (in a supportive way). This means I listen carefully to your experiences and concerns, explain things clearly, am approachable and share my thoughts and ideas kindly, respectfully and honestly.

Every person's journey is unique, and I like to understand the background and goals of the people I support to ensure we create a personalised plan for them. I am very experienced in supporting adults, and adolescents and I have a strong interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, developmental trauma, and the myriad of life's challenges. My approach is twofold: I believe in equipping you with immediate tools to cope with present concerns, while also delving into the roots of these issues – be it past events, deep-seated beliefs, or coping mechanisms – to pave the way for a brighter future.

I support women in mid-life to navigate complicated and changing emotions and a world that doesn't always feel like 'home'. Maybe you've been on a quest for self improvement and greater self understanding. You've seen umpteen therapists, read the books, joined the groups, listened to the podcasts. But deep down, something still feels off. Relationships just aren't working, you struggle to express yourself without upsetting people - or you just stay silent - and the weight of old wounds, self-doubt, and a silent ache you can't quite name, continues to linger.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with the impacts of childhood experiences - things like sexual abuse, emotional neglect, or simply not getting the kind of support they needed early on. These early dynamics can leave a lasting mark, even if life looks fine from the outside. But therapy doesn’t need to start with a clear story. Some people come in just knowing something isn’t quite right. My approach tends to suit people who’ve found short-term strategies helpful but limited, or who’ve had trouble feeling connected in past therapies. We go at your pace, and take the time needed to get to the heart of things.
