Hello brave human. You may look like you’re coping on the outside, yet inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or exhausted from overthinking. Perhaps you’re carrying unresolved childhood experiences, relationship wounds, or navigating a late ADHD diagnosis and trying to make sense of who you truly are. I offer a compassionate space where you can slow down, breathe, and be fully yourself. All parts of you are welcome here, even the ones you may hide, criticise, or feel confused about. Together, we can explore your story, build deeper understanding, and help you move forward with more clarity and self-compassion.
I’m particularly interested in how childhood experiences and relationships shape who we are today. By exploring the past and how it connects to the present, we can build understanding, name emotions, and find ways to move forward.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and finding the right fit matters. I offer a free 15-minute chat so you can see how it feels and ask any questions before deciding. I am a qualified therapist, but also a human being who understands that life can feel complex and overwhelming at times. If this resonates, I’d be pleased to support you.

I am particularly interested in how childhood, significant life experiences and relationships shape who we are today. In our early sessions, we gently explore these areas in depth, while ensuring you feel safe and and supported. Therapy can be a space to offload and gain insight into patterns, or a structured process to address specific challenges.

I am an integrative therapist, which means I draw from different evidence-based approaches to tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. I combine a compassionate, relational approach with practical and structured methods. I also offer high-intensity CBT, which focuses on understanding the links between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
