Trauma, relational abuse, eating/body/lifestyle-related difficulties and neurodivergent overwhelm are at the heart of my work. I also support clients in creative and high‑pressure roles who are navigating burnout, identity shifts or chronic tension. Many clients come to me feeling stuck, burnt out or carrying long‑term stress as symptoms in their bodies. Some have tried to cope alone through research, journalling or self‑help but nothing has shifted enough. I offer a calm, grounded space where you can slow down, feel understood and begin to make sense of what is happening.
I specialise in trauma recovery, eating disorders, lifestyle difficulties, body-based concerns, creative/high-performance industries and neurodiversity‑affirming therapy. My approach is pluralistic, integrating mind and body so the whole person is considered. We work collaboratively, at your pace, using verbal, embodied and/or creative methods.
It is completely normal to feel unsure about starting therapy. My priority is to help you feel safe, informed and in control of the process. Clients describe me as warm, steady and easy to talk to. If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or ready for change, then reach out for a brief conversation to see whether working together feels right for you.
