I find I work well with clients navigating complex experiences such as intense anxiety, mood instability, trauma, psychosis, or overwhelming emotional experiences. Clients I work alongside often feel misunderstood, stuck or disconnected, and want to make sense of what’s happening inside and around them. Their goals might include seeking relief from distressing symptoms, understanding themselves better, or building a more meaningful life. Many want to process past experiences safely and begin to trust themselves and others again. They’re often seeking a skilled, genuine and compassionate therapist who can support them.
I offer evidence-based psychotherapy, utilizing elements of CBT, EMDR, DBT, motivational interviewing, attachment theory and trauma-informed care (with specialisms in trauma, psychosis and mood disorders). I work holistically with children, adolescents and adults, providing structured and compassionate support within a safe, collaborative space.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially when you're already carrying so much. I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace, offering care, honesty and expertise. If you're ready to take that first step, or even just curious, I welcome you to reach out. We can explore together what support might look like for you. You are welcome here.

Engaging in therapy can be a financial burden at times and there's no way to sugar coat this, so please reach out if affordability is an issue/anxiety as I do have a limited number of spaces available to offer sliding scale pricing to keep therapy sessions affordable.

In our first session, we'll discuss your history, current challenges, and goals. With CBT, we'll work on identifying, evaluating and changing any identified unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. EMDR can also be interweaved with CBT to help make sense of and process traumatic memories using eye movements. Over time, both approaches aim to reduce distress and build lasting emotional resilience.
