I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

Counselling is about making sense of what’s on your mind and finding practical ways to feel more in control. I listen closely, ask questions that matter, and help you explore strategies that actually fit your life. Sessions are focused, supportive, and occasionally lightened with well-timed honesty—because life doesn’t always need another lecture.
Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-esteem, work-life balance, or life transitions, we work together to clarify what matters to you and take steps that lead to real progress.

As an experienced psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, I am aware that there are times in life that we find it difficult to cope due to events that affect us emotionally. Talking through difficulties and other disturbing issues in confidence with a professional, skilled, non-judgemental listener may allow you to reconnect with your feelings and make sense of your experiences. My commitment is to provide a safe space to express, explore and support you in this process in a respectful, collaborative, creative and thoughtful way, at your pace.

A warm, relational approach is the foundation of my work with children, young people and their parents. As an Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, I aim to enable each person to communicate and feel understood from the depth of their experience. This means finding each person's unique ways of expressing themselves, and tailoring my technique to meet them "where they're at". I create a safe space so that children and young people are able to bring their most painful feelings and thoughts out into the room with me. At the same time, humour and fun are important elements of my work.

Success often comes with hidden costs. Many high-performing people find themselves feeling stuck — outwardly accomplished but inwardly restless, anxious, or disconnected. Perhaps you’ve achieved what you set out to, yet something still feels missing. Maybe stress, perfectionism, or relationship challenges are taking a quiet toll. You might notice difficulty switching off, persistent self-doubt, or a sense that your drive for success is running you instead of fueling you.
If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone, and you don’t need to figure it out by yourself.
