I am a Counsellor specialising in Psychological Counselling with over 10 years of experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, work and career transitions, and self-development. My approach is client-centred and collaborative. People gain the most from therapy when they are empowered to shape the direction of their sessions. Each person seeks counselling for different reasons, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences and move towards greater well-being.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and burnout. Many of my clients feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns that are difficult to understand or change on their own. They may be struggling with the impact of earlier life experiences, current life pressures, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or self-critical. People often come to therapy when they want to make sense of what is going on internally and find a more stable and compassionate way forward in their lives and relationships.

Feeling stuck, even when you know what you should do? Maybe you look capable and together to others, but feel held back on the inside by overthinking, self-doubt, or fear of getting things wrong. Perhaps you put things off until you feel more confident or certain; and then feel frustrated with yourself for not achieving. You might recognise yourself if: - You have high standards and are hard on yourself - You overthink decisions and struggle to get started - You feel pressure to do things “properly” or not at all - You appear confident to others but feel stuck or behind - You often tell yourself you should be coping better

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self-doubt, or finding the same patterns repeating in your relationships? You don’t have to work through it alone. Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and begin making meaningful change. As a CBT psychotherapist and couples counsellor, I help individuals understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. Together, we gently identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck- such as overthinking, perfectionism, avoidance, or self-criticism — and develop practical tools to respond differently.

Do you ever feel caught in endless loops of overthinking or intrusive thoughts that feel too intense to ignore? Maybe you replay conversations, double-check decisions, or search for certainty that never comes. OCD can make you question everything, convincing you your thoughts say something terrible about you. It’s exhausting, leaving you stuck in your head instead of your life. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet anxiety, loosen OCD’s grip, and move toward what matters. I’ve also contributed to a BBC Sounds podcast on ADHD.

Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and/or misunderstood can be the very things that bring you to therapy, especially when support feels out of reach or hard to define. Whether you’re navigating relational strain, emotional distress, or challenges that have felt persistent or confusing, therapy can be a space where your experience is met with genuine curiosity and collaboration. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional and relational patterns, including neurodivergent experience, anxiety, low mood, parenting stress, and family conflict, in ways that honour your unique story.
