You’ve been through a lot. You’re tired of dieting, restricting, bingeing, masking, and short-term fixes. You want therapy that’s evidence-based, compassionate, and respectful of who you are. I work with adults navigating eating disorders, body image issues, burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism. My approach is weight-inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and designed to support self-understanding, agency, and long-term wellbeing.

Life can throw up sticky moments which can feel experientially ‘heavy’. Where once we seemed to have managed well enough, where now it feels like something else is needed to meet that moment in a more enduring way. I platform a space that is safe, secure and stable that holds our work together in finding a more enduring way forward. “The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the process is its own reward”. Amelia Earhart

Life can be both exciting and challenging. One of the toughest challenges is learning to be open and realizing that we often repeat the same mistakes over and over again, asking ourselves, 'Why is this happening to me?' We develop patterns of behavior that we repeat unconsciously, almost as if we're blindfolded, without even realizing it.
If you recognize that these patterns are damaging your life and the lives of the people you love, I'm here to support you. If you're a man and you realize that your anger is affecting your family life and you want to work through it, feel free to reach out.

Do you feel somewhat stuck? Perhaps overwhelm, physical pain or yearning for something different? Maybe you'd simply like to do better? Why not consider a coupling of counselling, clinical hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy? Unaware, you may be running outdated patterns which are at odds with the YOU of today, making it difficult to navigate and effect change. I use permissive Ericksonian hypnotherapy (particularly the Gordian Pillars) to uncover well-worn patterns of stuckness, then gently infuse the subconscious with alternate options. Safe, effective, gentle and life-changing.

You may notice that despite your best efforts, stress, conflict, or painful memories keep resurfacing. Your mind might race, your body may feel tense, or you may find it hard to stay present and calm. These experiences are not signs of weakness. They’re signs that your nervous system has been working hard to keep you safe. Over time, those protective responses can leave you feeling disconnected, on edge, or exhausted. Healing begins when we start to listen to these signals with curiosity and compassion, understanding what your mind and body are trying to tell you, and gently creating space for balance and renewal.

Compassion for the human condition and the premise that we are not passive victims of our circumstances but have freedom to choose how we want to be, are the main foundations I work with. I believe that we all possess the natural self-healing capacity that is seated in the deep center of our being, and I see psychotherapy as the work of finding, unlocking and opening doors through which healing can flow, and seeds towards transformation can be nurtured. I also approach all the suffering and pain that clients present, as an opportunity to use the crisis for personal growth and as a pathway to a deeper connection with the true self.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
