Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot on their own. They may feel anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out, find themselves overthinking, putting pressure on themselves, or struggling to switch off. Some feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism or self-criticism, while others have lost sight of what they need and where they fit. Therapy can provide an opportunity to slow things down, reflect on what's been happening. Alongside practical tools and strategies, we'll explore your experiences at a pace that suits you, helping you better understand yourself and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I offer a blend of CBT, self-compassion and person-centred therapy. This means we can explore your experiences openly while also using practical, evidence-based tools to understand patterns of thinking, emotions and behaviours. Together, we'll find approaches that support lasting change and feel manageable in everyday life.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, running on empty, or finding it hard to make sense of what's going on, therapy can be a place to begin exploring things at your own pace. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call to talk about what brings you to therapy and whether working together feels like the right fit.

Much of my work is with students, young professionals and adults who feel stuck between who they are and who they think they should be. Together we explore anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and life transitions, while developing a deeper understanding of what matters to them.
