What Clients Often Come to Me With: • Persistent anxiety or overthinking • Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected • Burnout from work, caregiving, or life demands • Struggles with boundaries and people-pleasing • A sense of losing yourself in the midst of it all
About Me Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in a cycle of anxiety and exhaustion? You may look like you’re coping on the outside — holding it all together for work, family, and others — but inside, it feels like you’re constantly running on empty. I support women who are navigating anxiety, burnout, and the pressure of always being “the strong one.” You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. ⸻

That life feels out of control, or its hard to find what you want or how to get it.
Psychological approaches I use include Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), CBT, Structured Clinical Management & Psychodynamic approaches. I am currently undertaking a Core Training in Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. The approach I use depends on the issues an individual brings to therapy and can be tailored as required.

I have a particular interest in trauma and difficult life events and enjoy working with clients using EMDR to make huge changes to their lives.
While I specialise in trauma in my private practise, I have vast experience working with general mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, social anxiety, health anxiety and low self-esteem. I also enjoy working to help people in ‘burn out’, whether from stressful work or home environments. In my NHS role I specialise in physical health.

I understand that life can be difficult and challenging and you may be struggling because you are going through a transitional period or feeling stuck which can be hard to deal with on your own, but it does not have to be.
I work with a wide range of issues; including depression, anxiety, stress and grief. However, I specialise in working with clients experiencing relational problems, sexual trauma, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, disassociation and impostor syndrome. I do not give advice, and Integrative counselling is not one approach that fits all.
