We all experience times of difficulty in our lives, when events or relationships feel overwhelming or we feel a loss of direction or purpose. Talking to a trained professional can help make sense of these challenges and offer a way forward. I provide a safe and confidential space to reflect and gain fresh perspectives.
As a Gestalt therapist, I focus on how your experiences affect your life now. I also work with EMDR and trauma-informed approaches, which can help process distressing or traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. Together, we can work towards greater understanding, choice, and a fuller way of living.

Many of the people I work with are children (8+), young people, and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or the challenges of navigating a world that doesn’t always understand their needs. Some are neurodivergent and looking for a space where they can be fully themselves; others are living with long‑term health conditions or medically unexplained symptoms and want support that recognises both their emotional and physical experiences. My aim is to offer a calm, validating space where their struggles are taken seriously and their strengths are recognised.

I am an approved healthcare provider for AXA/ WPA/AVIVA .
My practice primarily serves adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed by a wide range of mental health challenges, though I specialize deeply in helping people navigate trauma. Often, clients come to me because they are living with the constant high alert of PTSD or complex trauma (cPTSD) - frequently stemming from childhood experiences. They might be struggling with intrusive memories, severe anxiety, or a feeling of disconnect from daily life. I work collaboratively with individuals to break these exhausting cycles, providing a clear, grounded path to help them safely process what happened and move forward with their lives.

If you’re looking into an ADHD assessment for yourself, your child, or your teenager - you’re probably doing it because things feel harder than they “should.” Maybe focus is a constant battle, mornings and routines are chaos, school feels like a daily struggle, or work and life admin are piling up no matter how hard you try.

Every individual brings a unique set of issues, but it's usually mental or emotional distress that leads you to seek therapy. Some short-term relief can be gained, but developing your strength and inner emotional resources can take time, so you can confront and manage your challenges.
