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.

Do you frequently worry that your romantic partner won’t care about you as much as you care about them? Or that they won't love you for who you are or be there for you if you open up to them? If you're hoping to feel safe, loved, and accepted in your relationship or friendships, but you can never find people who make you feel this or you never give them the chance to do so, you likely have an attachment issue. I specialise in working with insecure attachment styles, working to help clients find security in a relationship for the first time and to develop a healthier, kinder view of themselves.

I'm truly interested in what my clients have to say. I am a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, person-centered psychologist. I have practiced since 2011 - working with individuals, couples, families and groups. Using a EMDR, a trauma-informed approach, I walk beside clients on their healing journey. I use many creative Arts therapy, movement and bodywork techniques to process and expel trauma stored in the body. This keeps therapy gentle and non-threatening, whilst deepening the process at the same time. I empower and equip my clients to navigate the uncertainties of life and achieve the goals they set for themselves.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, behind on things, or like you’re working twice as hard just to keep up? I provide neuro-affirming counselling for adults with ADHD, with a particular interest in supporting women and LGBTIQA+ clients, including those diagnosed later in life. Many people I work with have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves to meet expectations, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical ways to manage focus, emotional regulation, and everyday life.

I have many different approaches available to work with people- ranging from Polyvagal, to Gottman couples approaches, Schema and IFS therapies, and ways through anxiety, depression, sitting in, and with, different types of grief and loss, womens' and family Life cycles.
I am here to work with people where they are, as they are, and with what they bring into the session.
I am here to listen to your story without judgement, and create a session with you in which you get to know me, and tell me what has brought you to see me, at your pace. My pratice view is that you are being enormously courageous in coming to counselling, and that you will have tried other ways through your situation and issues, understandably, before taking the brave step of coming to see me. I have been working with people since the early 90's, and have a history of being able to understand and engage.

I enjoy working with all kinds of adults and the multitude of difficulties we humans face in our lives and relationships.
But my particular skill is in working with people who believe that what they carry is too complex for anyone to help but somehow keep looking for someone who can.
I often attract people who need a therapist who both understands "mental illness" through the psychiatric system lens and sees the "symptoms" people experience not as problems but as unique survival adaptations we do not yet understand.
I'm happy to work with people who experience suicidality and dissociation and who want to make sense of psychosis.
