I work with adults who often seem like they've got it together on the outside but inside they're running on empty. Many of my clients come to me feeling like they "should" be coping but internally there is a deep struggle in making sense of how they feel and trying to keep up the version that everyone else seems to expect. My approach isn’t about “fixing” you or offering quick solutions. Instead I help you make sense of what’s going on to make things feel more manageable through building your understanding, awareness, and use of practical coping strategies where appropriate.
Predominantly trained in Person-Centred Therapy, I take on an blended way of working using low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions, where appropriate. By the end of therapy, my hope is that you’ll feel more in control like you’re back in the drivers seat where you get to choose where to go next, not being pulled off course.
We will work together to identify the roots of what you're struggling with aiming to understand and address it. I offer short, long-term, and single-session therapy on Monday's only. If you’re ready to start exploring what’s been feeling heavy, I’d love to support you. I encourage you to book your free 15 minute consultation and we can go from there.

I work with clients that struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, low mood related to relationship issues, work, or day to day life. We will collaboratively explore thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. Addressing this will encourage self-awareness, the possibility of adopting healthy coping mechanisms and most importantly, giving you a space to be heard.
