I work with adults who appear to be coping but feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Many struggle with overthinking, difficulty switching off, low mood, or patterns they don’t fully understand. I also support those who find it hard to open up, including men’s mental health. I provide a calm, non-judgemental space to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.
I specialise in anxiety, overthinking, stress and emotional overwhelm, as well as low mood and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, practical and tailored to you, combining counselling with supportive strategies to help you feel better, not just talk. Together, we explore your thoughts, break unhelpful patterns, and build resilience. I offer online.
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing things alone. You may feel unsure where to start or if therapy is right for you. That’s completely understandable. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or need a space to talk, support is available. Taking that first step can help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control.

In our first session, we'll talk openly about your expectations, what you hope to achieve, and how we can work together. It's also a chance to build trust and create a safe, supportive space for you to feel heard. During our initial sessions, we'll explore the issues at hand and begin forming a personalised plan to help you move forward. Most clients notice a gradual lift within 3-4 weeks

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach as everyone's journey is different, so I like to work in a way that feels right for you. Depending on what brings you to therapy, I draw on a mix of evidence-based therapies that complement each other and can be tailored to individual needs, goals, and personality.
