You may be feeling overwhelmed by mental health challenges and wondering whether you can enjoy a life of quality where you're in control rather than the mind bully. You're hoping for a compassionate, honest non- judgemental therapist with lived experience and clinical expertise. You want a safe space to unmask and be authentic, whilst being supported to face your fears. You're hoping for a collaborative journey where your therapist is a true partner, guiding you through setbacks empowering you to understand your experiences and work towards recovery - not necessarily "free" of the struggles, but maybe a "little bit less" of them.
I help with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, using tailored, evidence-based, and third-wave therapies. I provide affirming, safe spaces to explore neurodiversity, and I offer specific sessions before therapy to help understand your unique needs, learning style, and how your brain views the world. This helps me to adapt therapy to your needs
Our therapy is a collaborative journey, guided by core principles: I'll never ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself, haven't done with past clients, or wouldn't do with you first. We'll face challenges together, fostering trust and confidence. I'm with you every step, embracing setbacks as vital learning opportunities on your well-being journey.

I treat individuals with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders using evidence-based methods. In initial sessions we'll explore your experiences and goals. Then, we'll create a collaborative plan to help you regain control from the 'mind bully'. The majority of my clients often report improved symptoms and a better quality of life within a month, with these gains lasting after therapy ends.
