I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected, often living with anxiety, burnout, low mood or the impact of past experiences. Many come to me after feeling misunderstood or rushed in previous support. I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space, working in an integrative, holistic, trauma-informed way. Together, we gently make sense of what’s going on and develop ways of coping that feel more manageable, grounded and sustainable. I also support clients living with chronic illness or who are neurodivergent, where emotional wellbeing can be shaped by ongoing physical health challenges or feeling different.
I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw on psychodynamic & sensorimotor approaches to support understanding of thoughts, emotions & the nervous system. I bring both personal and professional experience to my work. During sessions I offer a space to explore your experiences at your own pace, with gentle guidance and reflection.
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time or if previous support hasn’t felt right. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. I use a curiosity led approach where you are welcome to come just as you are & we can take things one step at a time.

Our work together is guided by my Curiosity Framework: noticing what's happening, understanding the behaviour & developing more supportive ways of coping. We move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring thoughts as well as bodily experiences. Over time, this can support greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of clarity and confidence.

I work in an integrative way, drawing on relational & sensorimotor approaches. Therapy with me is less about 'fixing' and more about creating space to be curious about your experience. We might slow things down, notice patterns, or explore how emotions and responses show up both mentally and physically. The work is gentle, collaborative and shaped around you.
