Adults often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, disability or major life change. I offer practical, collaborative therapy to help you understand what’s happening, clarify what matters, and take realistic steps toward meaningful change.
My approach combines professional training, evidence-based therapy and lived experience, tailored to the needs of each person I work with. I aim to make therapy practical, relatable and collaborative, helping you better understand what’s happening and develop strategies that fit your life rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
If talking feels hard, that’s okay. We can find a way of working that feels comfortable and easy to engage with. Your therapy can be practical, flexible and tailored to you, without pressure to do things a certain way. The aim is to create a space where you can be yourself and work through what matters at your pace.

As a lived experience therapist, I know what it's like to seek help from a therapist. I use that understanding to help make therapy feel safe, relatable and easy to engage with. Sessions are practical and tailored to you, helping you understand what's happening, build useful strategies and make changes that feel realistic in everyday life.

I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from different evidence-based therapies and tailor sessions to what works best for you. Values-based work is often part of this, helping you identify what matters and make choices that move you toward it. I also include practical education and skills to help you better understand yourself and build confidence outside therapy.
