My website
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, trauma and intrusive memories, low mood and depression, grief and loss, identity and self-realisation issues, life transitions, and relationship patterns, including difficulties that are hard to put into words.
I work integratively, drawing on CBT, DBT, ACT, schema-informed approaches and evidence-based therapies for trauma, adapting to what each person needs rather than applying one fixed method. My background is unusual. I'm both a registered nurse and a counsellor, which means I take the body seriously alongside the mind.
If you've been carrying something for a long time and haven't quite found the right words for it, that's often where this work begins. I'd welcome you to reach out.

I work with clients to understand the patterns shaping their experience, including how past events, beliefs, and emotional responses affect the present. Sessions focus on making sense of what's difficult, building emotional regulation, and finding a steadier sense of self and direction.
