Maybe you feel like you don't fit in - that others seem to have 'it' and you don't. Maybe you think you don't do the 'right' things, the things you think you should be doing.

It could be that you are struggling to succeed in a relationship , a job, or being socially worthy and you are frustrated at what you see as your limitations.

During my initial years as a Psychologist, I have dedicated most of my time to understanding suicidality and the complexities behind it: complex family dynamics, traumatic upbringings, psychosocial developments, as well as personality structures. It is my goal to provide my clients with a holistic point of view, an understating of their psychological needs, and how previous events they had no control over shaped the person they have become. I focus not only on the current manifestation of symptoms but the effect of them from within.

I can provide pre/post diagnosis, trauma, relationship and life transition support. I can assist in screening and assessing for conditions such as Autism, PDA and ADHD to inform how best to support you and support identity formation. I enjoy and have training in supporting Sex Workers, Poly/NM/RA, Neurodivergent, HIV+ and Sexual/Gender diverse individuals.

Having a baby is often a time of transition and stress. Brighter Beginnings Psychology & Wellbeing is a dedicated perinatal practice. We work with women and their families, pre-conception, throughout pregnancy and into the years following the birth of a baby.

Being listened to as you talk with someone you can trust helps you remember that you are not alone. It feels good to share, and talking about things can open up the door for healing. When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. When we try to keep things stored in our head, especially strong feelings, it gets overwhelming, which fuels our anxiety. Talking frees us from that. Together, our conversations will uncover the hidden meaning behind what's happening, and help you to find your way, as you make sense of the challenges you have found yourself facing.

Life often presents us with confusion, uncertainty, and overwhelming emotions. If you find yourself grappling with anxiety, distress, or emotional pain, hindering your ability to fully engage in life, I'm here to help. Collaboratively, we'll explore your unique strengths, cultivating resilience and coping skills. We'll navigate your challenges and discover pathways to move forward. My approach is rooted in safety, warmth, and respect for individual differences, underpinned by a trauma-informed practice. Utilising strengths-based, person-centered counseling, I integrate deep listening, art therapy, goal setting, and mindfulness.

Are you alone in your pain? Don't feel good on the inside? Can't trust? Not sure who to talk to about all the hurt you're holding onto? Maybe all you really want is to feel close to someone. Someone who will be gentle with you and work slowly with you. Someone who wants to understand you just the way you are. No-one wants to feel separate. We all crave close human connection. To belong. To know we matter.

Are you a woman who's got what you always wanted but find that it doesn't make you happy? Are you in a relationship but struggling to feel connected now that the honeymoon period is over? My clients often feel this way. Both my individual and couple clients often compare themselves to others and struggle with perfectionism. They tend to feel frustrated they haven't achieved more and worry that their lives or their relationships will never be all they’d hoped for. They can also be quite self-critical or have a tendency to people pleasing. Some also experience anxiety or depression on a regular basis. Does that sound familiar?
