Counselling in EN5
You're exhausted but can't sleep - your mind races with past trauma or tomorrow's worries. Sleep apps/AI give generic advice that doesn't work long-term because: 1) Nightmares/flashbacks need trauma processing (not just 'sleep hygiene'), 2) Your nervous system needs co-regulation (not pre-recorded meditations), 3) Complex PTSD requires personalised care (no algorithm understands your story). I help with trauma issues to finally sleep & lead a rich life through caring somatic/humanistic treatment that addresses the root cause, not just symptom pacification. Together, we rebuild your sense of safety so authenticity comes naturally.

People come to therapy for lots of reasons, often motivated by a desire for something new; something better; sometimes uncertain how best to make and manage change; often powerfully resistant to it. You may want to understand how you came to be where you are, or how to stop repeating unhelpful patterns. You may or may not have a specific aim in mind, but you probably would like to feel engaged, and hopeful and alive. Whatever your reason, there's the idea that speaking with an experienced professional should provide relief and insight.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or affected by past trauma?
Many people seek therapy because they feel exhausted by anxiety, overthinking, panic, low mood, or the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. You may appear to be coping on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
I am a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist and EMDR Accredited Practitioner providing evidence based therapy in a warm, supportive and non judgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

If you are living with OCD, emetophobia, health anxiety or other obsessional difficulties, you may experience recurrent, unwanted intrusive thoughts or fears, persistent doubt, anxiety, avoidance, reassurance seeking or rituals. You may find it difficult to understand how these difficulties are linked, what is keeping them going, or how to overcome them. I work with people aged 16+, including those with diagnosed or suspected neurodivergence, and can help you make sense of these patterns and provide a clear, individualised course of treatment to support your recovery.

Sometimes life leaves us in survival mode, shaped by trauma, misattunement, or relationships where our needs were overlooked. In that place, parts of the self can feel suppressed, hidden, or even lost. You may carry shame, silence, or a sense of disconnection, wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again.
I believe that every individual strives for a sense of wholeness and balance in their lives. Yet, at times, one may feel fragmented or disconnected, or overwhelmed by emotions and experiences. Through our work together, I aim to help you navigate these challenges, manage emotions effectively, and start feeling present within.

Feeling anxious? Having relationship issues? Worried about being judged?
I listen to whatever you choose to bring to our sessions and provide a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space. Counselling is not about giving you advice or telling you what to do. My goal is that you use our therapeutic relationship to be able to reflect and explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to express yourself freely.
