Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Perhaps you have noticed feeling low in mood or motivation, worried or anxious, stressed, burnt-out or disconnected from people close to you? You may have noticed difficulties related to a recent or past trauma that are difficult to manage or resulting in distress (e.g. difficult memories or images, nightmares, struggling to make sense of what has happened). Would you like a safe space to talk to and be listened to? If any of the above connects with you, I can help.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by life's challenges? Many people I work with are hardworking professionals who carry more than they let on. From the outside your life may look fine, but inside something hasn't felt right for a while. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or patterns in relationships that keep repeating. For others it's more specific — trauma that still surfaces, or the weight of a long-term or life-changing health condition. You don't need to be in crisis, or have it all figured out. Often, simply knowing something needs to change is reason enough to reach out.

Deciding to come to therapy, and choosing a therapist, is an incredibly big decision. Over the years, I have found that a lot of my clients have not always had the best experience with practitioners, and this can cause significant anxiety when deciding to access therapy again. Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time, or you have had therapy before, I respect the care and time that is needed to find the right person for you. It is important for you to feel safe and valued for you to explore what is happening in your life. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you want to learn a little more about me and my approach.

We all experience losses in life – not just when someone dies but when we lose anything that is important to us: our relationships, our dreams of having a family, our health, our home, our job, our independence, our pets, and our hopes or expectations. Often, we are able to grieve for those losses and adjust but sometimes we are left feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, guilty, ashamed, withdrawn, or numb for many months or even years later. Adjusting to losses in life is not about ‘getting over’ them but about finding ways to live a life that includes them.
