Everyone has their own strengths and potentials - often all you need is a leg-up to help reach for them. We experience life differently, too. One person's anger, trauma, grief or self-doubt is not the same as the next person's. My interests in animals, nature and outdoor sports taught me to value the whole person; mind, body, heart and intuition. So you won't have to perform in any way. Each session is designed for you, based on Master’s degree-level expertise, evidence-based approaches, compassion, respect and experience.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want to acknowledge the courage it has taken to get this far. Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply looking for a space to reconnect with yourself, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

I provide a relaxed, confidential space to explore what's creating distress, preventing you from feeling fulfilled or causing difficulties in life & relationships.

Using evidence-based neurobiological and emotion focused, experiential interventions we'll process what’s happening to you, explore your resources & strengths & develop further skills to manage your challenges.

I get it. You're struggling with balancing work and life and trying to make sense of how to not be so frustrated and angry about the state of your world when it all seems too much. Then trying to explain it all to someone (perhaps your partner) when it gets too much but who can only offer a sympathetic nod or unhelpful advice such as 'just get over it' or 'you're being dramatic!' (which rarely helped in the history of advice!). The problem is not having space or the ability to try and untangle your thoughts amidst trying to just stay afloat in an ever-increasing complex world with competing demands on your attention and sanity.

Many of us are striving to be the best person we can. Sometimes we lose connection with that person and the satisfying, and enriching, often preferred life seems out of reach or only for others. We can have this preferred life. It's possible! Sometimes experiences of trauma, adversity and pain form stories around us that recruit us into thinking we can't. Some stories can even invite actions we regret that can separate us from people we care about, even from who we would prefer to be. Examining these ideas and stories in therapy can free up new ways of thinking and living for more fulfilling and joyful lives.

I support adolescents and adults who are tired of living in survival mode and are ready to create real, lasting change. Many of my clients face trauma, PTSD, BPD traits, neurodivergence, anxiety, eating-disorder patterns, domestic violence,grief or ongoing crisis that has left them overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves.
My approach is steady, grounded, and practical. I help clients regulate their nervous system, understand their patterns, and rebuild a sense of safety within themselves. Together, we work toward clarity, stability, and a life defined by self-trust rather than fear or chaos.

Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, trapped in their thoughts, or frustrated that their body and mind don’t seem to be cooperating, no matter how hard they try. You may seem like you’re coping from the outside but inside your mind can’t switch off. You may also be wondering whether therapy will help, or how to find the right support. It’s a lot, but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialise in supporting adults with anxiety, OCD, & trauma, as well as those navigating chronic pain/health conditions, autoimmune conditions, PMDD, endometriosis, or perinatal/postpartum challenges. Proudly neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive.
