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 bring a decade of clinical experience working with adults, with a strong focus on trauma-informed therapy and advanced, specialised training in trauma-focused approaches.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties can leave you feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to understand or change. You may feel overwhelmed by worry, disconnected from others, highly self-critical, or caught in ways of coping that no longer serve you.
Using trauma-informed approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR Therapy, and Schema Therapy, I help you understand the parts, emotional wounds, and deeply held patterns shaping how you feel and relate. Together, we work towards reducing distress, healing what sits beneath the surface, and creating greater connection, clarity, and choice.

My ideal client is an adult or older adolescent who brings long‑running relationship patterns, the lingering impact of childhood trauma, or chronic low mood and wants deeper, lasting change; they’re tired of repeating the same outcomes and ready to understand the origins of their reactions rather than just manage symptoms. They need a safe, non‑judgemental space, a clear formulation that links past experiences to present problems, and practical skills they can use between sessions. Their goals are to reduce shame and reactivity, build secure, reciprocal relationships, stabilise mood and daily routines, and develop boundaries.

If you're good at holding it together on the outside, but privately running on empty, you say yes when you mean no, or you shrink yourself to keep the peace, you might be pretty exhausted.
You might notice you want to prevent burnout or need some help with getting out from underneath it all.

I'm a qualified counsellor with a background in visual art. In sculpture, my process is one of layering and uncovering—of allowing for something unexpected to emerge through close attention and curiosity. In a similar way, therapy can bring patterns, memories, and underlying meanings into focus. As a therapist, I offer a space where people can discuss their thoughts, feelings, and personal history in an environment that is open, confidential, and free from judgement. My role is not to provide advice or ready-made solutions, but to support the process of exploration and encourage curiosity along the way.
