I love helping people to find their inner peace, to understand themselves enabling them to live a happy life and have happy relationships. I especially love helping men to become emotionally intelligent, to become better communicators, fathers and partners. I am experienced in couples counselling assisting my clients to see their situation through more enlightening and empowering perspectives; training couples and singles how to express vulnerability – i.e. feelings, needs and wants – in a constructive and authentic way; offering practical and down to earth advice.

As a dedicated therapist, I empower individuals to navigate the complexities of intimacy and self-worth. Specialising in attachment issues, I help clients unpack how anxious and avoidant attachment may be impacting their current connections and internal dialogue. My approach blends empathy with insights to dismantle the roots of low self-esteem. By understanding your unique attachment style, we work together to transform insecurity into resilience and conflict into closeness. Whether you’re feeling "too much" in relationships or struggling to find your voice, I provide a safe space to cultivate lasting security and self-worth.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable people who feel exhausted from holding everything together. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the lasting impact of complex trauma. Many carry a quiet feeling of being “not enough” while also worrying they are “too much.” Some feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating grief, life transitions, or hormonal challenges such as PMDD. They want to understand themselves more deeply, feel calmer in their nervous system, and build a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.

Many of the people who come to me have reached a point where they’re ready for something to shift. They’re tired of repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected, or sensing that life could be different but not knowing where to begin. Some are navigating depression, anxiety, or grief; others are carrying the impact of trauma, family violence, or crime. Many are simply starting their personal development journey and feel unsure where or how to start. What they all share is a readiness to understand themselves more deeply and take steps toward meaningful change.

Many people come to counselling feeling stuck inside a story about themselves or their lives that has become heavy or limiting. Perhaps a problem has begun to define how you see yourself, your relationships, or your sense of direction. When this happens it can feel as though the problem has taken up too much space in your life. Counselling can offer a place to step back, reflect, and begin to see the fuller picture of who you are and what matters to you.

At Saltmarsh Psychology, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand the patterns, experiences, and emotions that shape their lives and relationships. Many of the difficulties people face, such as anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma, can be connected to long-standing ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that developed earlier in life. Through therapy, my aim is to provide a safe and reflective space where clients can process difficult experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and build more balanced and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

Do you often find yourself putting everyone else first, while struggling to know what you need? Perhaps you're stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. You care deeply about the people around you and often find yourself anticipating their needs, managing their emotions, or working hard to keep the peace. Yet despite all that effort, you may feel unseen, unheard, or disconnected from yourself.
