I offer in person appointments on a Saturday at Cotham practice rooms.
If you are struggling with the emotional and psychological impact of past trauma, anxiety, or depression. You may feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or weighed down by a persistent sense of shame, fear, or sadness. Are you open to exploring your thoughts and beliefs, willing to build practical tools for managing emotions, and interested in processing difficult experiences in a safe, structured way. Then CBT or EMDR might be the therapy for you.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviours? Perhaps for years, even decades? Is the simple act of getting through the day (and night) becoming unmanageable and overwhelming? Or perhaps you feel numb, stuck, confused even? Perhaps you do not even know where to begin or what you are looking for? Are you finally ready to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace challenge, change, and desire - rejuvenating your relationships not only with others, but with yourself?

Even the strongest of us need help and support, and therapy is not meant to “fix” someone but to help them discover their full potential, this is my philosophy. Therapy is like a journey that the therapist and the client undertake together to explore the best options, with the client being the expert in their lives. Nobody knows better our life and what does it mean to be us than ourselves. Therapy is there to act as a guide for these explorations. And it is a privilege for the therapist to be part of this very personal journey and to share her knowledge and expertise, enabling in this way the change for a better life.

I offer therapy in person, from a light and airy, yet cosy and inviting room.
Our true nature is free, flowing, wild and energetic. Childhood traumas create defences, because our survival instinct was so strong it protected us at all costs. The cost is our experience now, disconnection from our-self, our body, others, life. Resulting in difficult relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and self harming behaviors. The decision to come to therapy is a brave one, it is a statement to yourself and the Universe that you no longer want to just survive, but to live with more ease, connection and aliveness. The therapeutic relationship encourages this life force energy, giving space for wholeness to grow.

I offer a free 15 min phone or zoom consultation before meeting in person where you can ask all the questions you want and decide if we might be a good fit.
I welcome anyone seeking help with their challenges. I understand what it is to face different challenges from my own personal experience, but also know that good therapy can really help. Whether you want to process grief, find a way out of anxiety or depression, resolve relational issues or anything else we can work together to find help and healing. You might want to be solution focused and engage in short term therapy or perhaps you know you need more time and space to explore the issues in longer term therapy.

Through lived and professional experience I deeply understand neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, family issues, attachment struggles, BPD and eating disorders. My approach is warm, intuitive, and collaborative. I blend exploration of your history with body-based healing and practical changes that keep you grounded in the present. I believe real change happens when you uncover who you are and find the comfort in yourself to express who you have always been underneath it all. Together, we can, find a way to let go, explore patterns that no longer serves you and design a life that feels authentic, balanced, and full of possibility.

I offer therapy sessions in-person and online via Teams
Change is possible.....On the outside things look fine, but inside there’s a strain, a pressure, or an internal voice that doubts you. When you’re just managing to get through the day and the things that usually help don’t seem to work anymore, it’s easy to start feeling on edge or disconnected. Sleepless nights may appear, or your body might carry more tension, aches, or tightness than it used to. Overwhelm can creep in, and you might find yourself stuck in loops of worry, self-doubt, or endless what-ifs.

I am available to work online, in person, or outside in nature for wild therapy sessions.
I wanted to give you a warm welcome and acknowledge your effort in taking this first step. It is not easy to start therapy; overcoming any fear you may feel, where to search, which therapist to choose… I would like to invite you to stop for a moment. Close your eyes slowly. Take a deep breath. How do you feel? Where in your body do you feel it? Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that can leave our world upside down. We can end up feeling anxious, depressed, angry, frustrated… Sometimes we just experience a lack of meaning and can’t connect with the life force that makes us feel alive.

I am seeing clients both face to face or via Zoom.
I am a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.
