Life can be overwhelming when anxiety, depression, grief or trauma take hold. I understand how isolating these experiences can feel, and I provide a compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported and understood without judgment, where you don’t have to put on a brave face or worry that your thoughts and feelings don’t make sense. I’m a counsellor with personal experience of anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, grief and ADHD, which inspires my work. I will walk beside you with compassion and empathy, and together we will find a solution to navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with your inner strength.
As well as a chance to voice thoughts you may have kept hidden and take off that mask for a while, I will help with insight and practical tools for healing and growth, tailored to your unique needs and goals. You can be angry, sad, scared, confused, numb, all these or none, and we’ll work with that.
I am a person-centred integrative therapist, which means I believe therapy is not about ‘fixing’ you as you are not broken – you just might need some help under all the stress, expectations and those unsustainable coping mechanisms. It is about empowering you to better understand yourself, build resilience, and live with greater clarity and confidence.

I am trained in the Rewind Technique (or 'Fast Trauma Cure'), a highly effective therapeutic method used to treat PTSD, phobias, and anxiety by reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories. I used this during my time at The Road Victims Trust for anyone affected by the grief and trauma of road death.
