I offer trauma informed, evidence-based counselling and psychotherapy for teenagers and adults struggling with anxiety, stress or depression. I help my clients understand and manage the fears, anxieties or negative self-beliefs that hold them back from living the life they hope for. I also work with late-diagnosed ADHD, autistic and AuDHD clients within a neurodiversity affirming framework.
I help teens and adults overcome anxiety, stress, depression and burnout to re-engage with a richer, more rewarding life. I tailor my approach and environment to suit my clients' unique needs. I have worked with teenagers for many years, and I help clients of all ages build on their strengths and embrace positive change.
I offer you a safe space to share just what you need to, without fear of judgement. I can help you manage your anxiety and other difficult emotions to find inner strength to live the life you want to. I will work collaboratively with you and tailor my approach to suit your situation and comfort.

Anxiety is often at the heart of many difficulties. My clients benefit from my holistic approach which fosters awareness of emotions as they arise in body sensations, thoughts, beliefs and automatic behaviours. Emotional regulation is improved through acceptance, reappraising beliefs, and, importantly, through body-based techniques to calm the nervous system.
