Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it shouldn’t feel like another place where you have to "mask." In my practice, I help adults and young people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or adults managing chronic conditions like pain and diabetes.
People usually come to me when they’re simply ready for things to change. Together, we’ll look at the bigger picture to understand your patterns while building practical tools that actually work for your life. Whether you’re an adult looking for support or a parent seeking neuro-affirmative care for your child, I’m here to help you navigate it.

I am an HCPC-Registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years' experience across the NHS and private practice. I worked in the National Adult ADHD Service, where I developed expertise in psychological intervention for adults with ADHD. This work continues to inform my understanding of how executive functioning differences can affect organisation, follow-through, and the pursuit of goals.

On the outside you may appear successful, capable and in control. Yet privately you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, difficult relationships, perfectionism, addiction, or a persistent sense that something isn't quite right. I specialise in helping high-functioning individuals and busy professionals who are tired of simply coping and want meaningful, lasting change. Together we create a confidential and supportive space where you no longer need to keep performing, holding everything together or carrying your struggles alone.

You might have a sense that something isn’t quite right — perhaps you notice repeating the same patterns in relationships, feeling drawn to similar kinds of people, or responding in ways you don’t fully understand. We can get stuck in ways of relating that happen outside of our awareness, shaped by what we’ve learned about ourselves and others over time. Therapy offers a space to explore these patterns, understand what you bring into your relationships, how you respond to others, and why certain dynamics feel harder to shift. Over time, this can open up more choice in how you respond and relate, in ways that feel more like you.
