Our capacity to explore, grow and heal is open to us wherever we are in our life’s journey and having someone who is attuned to our needs as we navigate our difficulties can help us make sense of our experiences and free us to explore new ways of being, with ourselves and with others that may have previously felt unimaginable. Whether you have a clear focus or need someone to listen as you explore your experiences and difficulties, I am dedicated to providing a space where you feel welcome, seen, and valued and aim to be alongside you as you find your way to a greater sense of trust, ease and wellbeing within yourself.

I offer online and some face to face consultations to individuals, couples and families for communication difficulties associated with relationships and life-changes, when the usual ways of coping and support are insufficient or when the challenges involved are too much in some way. With over 30 years professional experience as a systemic practitioner, I have worked with people from a range of cultures and backgrounds in the independent, voluntary, private and public sectors. Single consultations, short-term and longer work are all available.

The areas I work with include but are not limited to low confidence, anxiety, relationships both intimate and friendships, loss, grief, anger, stabilisation, safety, trust, boundaries and so much more.
I meet you exactly where you are and welcome that part of you with no judgement or assumptions. This means I recognise the unique values and world experience you will enter the space with and meet you with curiosity and deep empathy.
Counselling can provide space to grow a kinder and compassionate internal voice, make progress with regaining or developing confidence and self-worth.

My work is with both individuals and couples. The skill-sets and experience I bring to therapy draw off my Systemic Practice, honing the skills of Internal Family System (IFS), plus Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), for couples. These approaches are well known to bring about the transformative qualities and resources that exist inside people. These approaches are known to make difficult experiences possible, such as healing trauma, phobia or anxiety. I’ve learned this is possible through the evidence of transformations that I’ve witnessed in my practice and what my clients feedback.

People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. Whatever is going on for you, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and the challenges you are going through. I have experience working with anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationships, abuse, trauma, guilt and shame. Specialising in work with LGBTQ+ clients, I have worked with a wide range of issues around gender and sexual relationship diversity. Whilst these may or may not be the focus of our work together, I provide a space where clients can consider how these aspects of identity affect their wider lives.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, anger or low mood? I am an experienced and passionate psychotherapist. I hold a robust space in which we target and process the source of distress. What I practice is not just ‘talk therapy’, I use powerful, evidence based protocols to help people into their calm, confident, playful and most integrated self. I can help you find structure and stability when things feel chaotic. Therapy can help when it feels like no one around you understands what it’s like to be you and when the way you feel makes no sense. If this resonates and you would like to start making changes please do get in touch.

At times we all feel like we’ve lost hope. The hope that things can improve, the hope our distress will reduce and the hope that we’ll feel less alone. But that hope is never gone for good, and we just need someone to help us find it again. Whether you are struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, past trauma, anxiety, depression or things that you just can’t make sense of, I can help. At times I will guide you, but most importantly I endeavour to support and empower you to take control of your own mental health and instil a renewed sense of hope and emotional wellbeing in a safe and compassionate space.

Sometimes, we all have thoughts like, "Everything is too much," or "I can’t go on like this, but I don’t see a way out." Maybe you have everything you thought you wanted, yet you still feel unhappy or lost.
Big life events can shake us to our core—losing a relationship, grieving a loved one, or facing an unexpected shift in identity. Perhaps you've recently discovered you fit the criteria for ADHD or autism. Or maybe you’ve followed all the "shoulds" in life, only to be left feeling empty, wondering, What now?
Sometimes, loss forces us to confront the tension between who we think we want to be and who we really need to be.
