Are you feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or low mood?
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by worry, panic, or experiences from the past that won’t seem to settle?
Are you ready to understand yourself more deeply and start making meaningful, lasting change?
From an early age, I’ve been drawn to understanding the complexities of the human mind and how we navigate life’s challenges. That curiosity, combined with a genuine commitment to supporting others, has shaped my path into psychotherapy.
With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I specialise in anxiety disorders (including OCD, PTSD, and phobias) and depression. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, trauma-focused therapies, mindfulness, and Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy to help you regain control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
I’m passionate about supporting you to break free from the grip of anxiety and the weight of past experiences. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, sleep difficulties, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts, I offer a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.
