Our inner world holds deep wisdom, often hidden beneath the stories we tell ourselves. By tuning into our emotions and listening to our bodies, we can uncover a personal map to a more meaningful life. With support and encouragement, we can recognise what we long for, what we need, ‘what truly feels right for me'. Together, we can explore how past experiences and the world around you shape your present-moment experience. When you become aware of old patterns, you can decide which ones still serve you - and which ones don’t - allowing you to step into new ways of being that bring greater connection, fulfilment, health, and wellbeing.

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.

There are many great therapy options available, here’s a few reasons why you might like to work with me.

I do not focus on analysing problems or managing symptoms, rather I work to uncover and address the deeper issues that may be contributing to your difficulties, leading to natural, meaningful and lasting change. Another important difference is accessibility. I intentionally keep my overheads low so that I can offer high-quality psychotherapy at a more affordable rate.

You might be neurodivergent and queer (or neuroqueer), part of poly/ENM or kink communities, or a sex-worker seeking care that doesn’t judge or pathologise. Perhaps you’ve spent years masking, managing burnout, anxiety or low mood, complex family dynamics, or the push–pull of intimacy and independence. You want therapy that understands culture, eldest daughter intergenerational trauma, chronic illness and sensory needs; practical support with boundaries, communication, co-regulation and self-advocacy; and space to rethink attachment, explore identity, and rebuild after trauma.

I am a registered psychologist who works with adolescents (16 and up) and adults. I pride myself on making all clients feel welcome and comfortable in the therapeutic space. I like to take the time to deeply understand each individual client in order to cater my therapeutic approach to the individual. I see the client as the expert in the room and tap into their knowledge of themselves and their presenting issues to collaboratively work through and understand the issue together. I endeavour to help clients develop long lasting strategies and insight into themselves to be able to use and apply outside of the therapeutic space.

Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

Therapy for trauma, relationships, and eating disorders. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating the same emotional patterns — in relationships, work, or the way we treat ourselves. You might understand why you do it, yet still feel unable to change. My work focuses on helping people slow down, make sense of what’s happening underneath, and begin to respond differently. Therapy becomes a place to feel understood, to build self-compassion, and to find new ways of relating that feel steadier and more connected.

It's my job to make myself redundant with clients, to help them end their work with me equipped with insights & skills to better manage emotional challenges.
I use EMDR to treat trauma, mostly seeing survivors of childhood, military, family and sexual trauma. EMDR can also be helpful with workplace & social anxiety.
In addition, I counsel adults with symptoms of autism such as rigid thinking, communication challenges and excess emotional distress.
I offer a space where challenging thoughts can be explored safely - with courage, imagination & some humour, but no nonsense. If the client agrees with my assessment, we go from there.
