Are you struggling with moments of anxiety or going through a hard time you cannot seem to shake off? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or numb? Life can be challenging at times, as though nothing will feel right again. Sometimes, it can feel as though life 'should feel good' and you cannot understand why you feel so low. It can feel isolating and lonely to not be able to express to your family and friends how you feel - perhaps this has made you feel 'invisible'. Or others' needs have come first for so long that you no longer are in touch with what you need for yourself and find it hard to truly feel connected with others.
Your sense of identity or self may feel lost. It may feel as though 'there is no point'. But, together, we can gently explore that which feels insurmountable and you can become unstuck. I will support you on your journey of healing so that you may find new ways of relating to both yourself and others and to feel more whole and alive.
Life, loss and struggle happens to us all but we do not have to journey alone. I believe it is the relationship which heals. I offer an initial free call as I feel it is important you get a sense of me and how we might connect and work together. If you feel that you might find my support and empathy helpful on your journey please do get in touch.

Although I am trained in several modalities, I believe that each person is unique and will tailor the therapeutic session based on your needs and what works for you. I believe in offering a safe non-judgemental space where you can begin your path to healing. I work transparently and welcome a deeply communicative therapeutic relationship. Empathy is at the heart of what I offer.
