I work with people navigating life transitions, seeking clarity, and wanting to create a life that aligns with their values, goals and sense of direction. This may include career change, relocation, relationship transitions, stepping into new life stages, or periods of uncertainty where you are reconsidering what matters most and what comes next. I support individuals who are seeking a deeper understanding of their experiences, including exploring whether there may be underlying factors contributing to how they think, feel or respond.

I became a psychologist because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live the best life they can. Life is constantly changing and this uncertainty can be a challenge for some people, and may lead to anxiety and depression or other disorders. I utilise a range therapies to meet the differing and deeply personal needs of my clients. I work in collaboration with clients to identify the areas of difficulty and together we set goals and work towards them from a strengths based perspective.

I draw from trauma-focused and attachment-based therapies, including IFS, EMDR and Schema Therapy.
Shame, anxiety, relationship difficulties, people pleasing, perfectionism, and low self-worth are just some of the struggles that can leave you feeling caught in painful patterns that are difficult to change. Many people I work with grew up in families where emotional neglect, criticism, control, or unhealthy family dynamics shaped how they learned to survive. My work helps you understand these patterns with compassion, so they no longer define how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Together, we work towards building greater self-trust, healthier relationships, and a life no longer organised around survival.
