I offer and integrated approach in a safe, supportive, and empowering space. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist. With empathy, and effective modern techniques, I help clients manage Trauma, intense emotions, build coping skills, and improve emotional regulation. Sometimes you need to process Complex Trauma before you arrive to resilience, but you are helped all along the way. I blend deep psychotherapy with practical techniques. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, my goal is to support your growth, boost self-esteem, and help you feel more connected and fulfilled in life.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re navigating one of the most intense and transformative times of your life—whether that’s trying to conceive, experiencing a loss, going through pregnancy, or adjusting to the early days of parenthood. It’s a journey filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes, overwhelming challenges. You might be looking for a place where you can catch your breath, feel understood, and get the support you need. I want you to know that you’re not alone. I’ve been where you are, feeling the weight of uncertainty, the hurt, the emotional ups and downs, and the need for someone who really gets it.

If what you really want is a relaxed, no-judgment space where you can be yourself—messy bits and all—and work out how to feel more like you, without the pressure. Maybe you’re neurodivergent or queer, dealing with anxiety, burnout, or just feeling a bit out of place. Maybe you’re done with masking and juggling everything. You’re not here for surface-level chats—you want a therapist you can genuinely connect with. Someone who gets the deeper stuff, and helps you make sense of it at your own pace.

Relational Coaching is my personalised approach to helping people get on with one another and with life. I like coaching as a metaphor because it is positive, outcome orientated and has an everyday feel to it. One way of looking at counselling is to see it as a safe place to say what you need to say, to discover ways of saying what you need to say, to have someone hear (really hear) what you need to say, and to help you say it well!
