I work with adults with anxiety, stress, trauma, longstanding issues, or ADHD.
Overcome your Past & Fears, Find Self-Compassion & Resilance, and Flourish. If you're wrestling with a negative inner voice or baggage from your past, I understand. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what real joy or feeling safe is like? Or there's something you just can't seem to get past or a project you can't master? The search for a meaningful and fulfilling life isn't easy and it’s not your fault. It’s because you have a tricky human brain with a sensitive threat system, which can tie you up in knots trying to cope.

Taking that first step towards professional support can feel daunting, especially when anxiety, stress, or low energy is weighing you down.
That’s why I take a holistic approach, addressing not just the symptoms but the bigger picture – helping you thrive in all areas of life. In our sessions, I blend evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside techniques from health psychology.

I have over 15 years experience providing therapy to work on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationships.
At times we can feel overwhelmed by life events, relationships or distressing thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we believe that we are never going to feel better and lose hope that change can happen. If we have experienced long term distress we might feel that we are broken and unfixable. I can work with you to process painful experiences, help you to connect more with yourself and others to improve your relationships and to get more of what you want from life. I work in a relational way, meaning that we will focus on the relationship between us to understand more about the way you relate to others and yourself.

My integrative approach blends Person‑Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic ideas, and I provide EMDR for single‑incident trauma when intrusive memories need focused processing. Sessions can be reflective, practical or both, always guided by what feels most helpful to you.

Are you in a demanding leadership role, and finding that stress is starting to take its toll?
I am passionate about supporting people to process trauma. People often think of trauma as major life events such as war. However, it is often a response to lack of support to process something upsetting - this is obviously on a spectrum. Creating a safe space for you to feel seen, heard and validated is the start. I also use a variety of tools to help you.
