Hello, I work with individuals, couples and families who may be dealing with loss, grief, trauma or difficult life transitions. Many wish to explore the impact of these experiences on their identity or sense of self, often with or without ASD, ADHD, AuDHD or other diagnoses, and reflect on how this could be impacting on their relationships. Others wish to develop the communication tools to help feel seen, heard and understood. Together we navigate a range of challenges in a strengths-based way to reframe unhelpful thoughts, process internal conflicts and tune into deeper insights.

I can understand that for many taking those first steps to seek professional help it can be quite daunting. I am mindful of the need therefore to set people at ease from the outset. I accommodate what differing clients are looking for from a psychologist ranging from finding solutions and learning strategies to process-oriented approaches that provide the opportunity to safely explore, understand, and heal the emotional pain that often underlies psychological stress and problematic behaviour.

As a psychotherapist I create a field, I prepare the ground and the conditions, I set processes in motion, I resonate and synchronise with the rhythm of the person. I help the person to centre inside, to anchor in the body, in the present and in reality. What I am most interested in is the relationship people have with themselves. Most problems that occur in interpersonal relationships have to do with conflict within us. My work is about lowering fears, taking small and big courageous steps, regaining the capacity to love, rebuilding trust in ourselves so that we can find and follow our path.

I offer a collaborative and reflective space where you can speak freely and feel deeply listened to. My approach is guided by genuine curiosity about who you are. Rather than reducing your experience to a diagnosis, I seek to understand your story: your history and relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. When given the space to be heard without judgment, new understanding can emerge, and with it, the possibility for meaningful change. I have over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across public and private health settings.

Have you ever understood your struggles logically, but felt like your body and emotions haven't caught up?
Many of my clients arrive feeling 'stuck' in painful, repetitive loops—whether that’s a challenging relational pattern, persistent anxiety, or past memories that still feel vivid and heavy today. I specialise in working with adults who haven't experienced the shift they hoped for through traditional talk therapy, guiding them to unpack core schemas and process deep-seated trauma using EMDR.
