I help people whose past relational or traumatic experiences shape current anxiety, low self-worth or patterns that feel hard to break.
I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. Clients who would be suitable: Someone who appears capable but feels stuck in familiar relational patterns or overwhelmed with emotions. They may feel unheard, misunderstood, or constantly doubting or blaming themselves. Beneath this, they want to understand why certain dynamics keep repeating. They need space to explore their emotional world, make sense of long-standing patterns, and move toward relationships and emotions that feel more balanced, connected, and authentic.

If you’re feeling anxious, ashamed, overwhelmed or disconnected — and sense it might be time to look at your life more closely — you’re welcome to reach out.
People often reach out when something in their life feels heavy, confusing or quietly overwhelming. You don’t need to have a clear story to begin. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and explore what feels out of step or painful. Much of what shapes us lives below the surface — old patterns, shame, grief, relationships, the body’s responses. Therapy is a place to bring these into conversation, gently and at your pace, so that new understanding and possibilities can begin to emerge.

My role is to walk alongside you as things begin to make sense—where anxiety, grief, or feeling stuck are not problems to eliminate, but signals worth listening to.
Most people aren’t broken. They’re just used to not being heard.
I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist from a person-centred perspective, grounded in a simple but often overlooked belief: people already hold the capacity to understand themselves, face what’s difficult, and change the direction of their lives.
In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and neat labels, I offer something different—a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or be anything other than real. A space built on honesty, empathy, and acceptance.
I don’t position myself as the expert on your life.
You are.

You are.
You feel like you’ve spent your whole life meeting other people’s expectations. On the outside you hold it together, but inside you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning who you really are beneath the mask. Maybe you’re processing a late autism or ADHD diagnosis, living with chronic illness, or carrying the weight of burnout and trauma. You want space to breathe, to grieve what’s been lost, and to rediscover parts of yourself that have felt hidden. Most of all, you want to feel understood without needing to explain yourself, and to start trusting your own needs again.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
