You'll be surprised by how much can change for you. I am able to help people from all backgrounds and those who have exhausted all other options. I am trained to provide individuals, couples, and groups with evidence-based treatments for a range of difficulties that impact well-being and quality of life. My clients struggle with low mood and anxiety, and are affected by issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, trauma, sexual problems, loss and bereavement, or substance misuse. Many also experience a number of issues at once, making problems seem insurmountable. They often come to therapy feeling stuck and tired.

At the heart of my work is the belief that each person is already whole, and carries an inner compass; an inherent capacity for clarity, healing, and growth. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with this inner navigator and gently uncover what is standing in the way. No matter how distant to inner balance one feels, it is never lost. Regaining it often begins with rediscovering the part of you that already knows the way forward, and my wish as your therapist is to support you in claiming your inner freedom. Together, we create a space where you can feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you navigate life.

You show the world a smiling face and they see your successes, but they don't see what's underneath. You feel anxious, self-critical or constantly "on" inside. Your perfectionism, high expectations, or past experiences leave you feeling uneasy, exhausted and even disconnected from yourself and those around you. You long for change but feel stuck and unsure where to start. Another part of you quietly wishes for a space where you can slow down, be real, and be heard without judgement. Whether you have a clear focus or simply sense that something needs to shift, let's explore it together at your pace.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating challenges like trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or burdened by patterns and emotions that seem impossible to shift. I understand how daunting it can be to take the first step towards change, but you don’t have to face it alone. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, process your emotions, and begin to heal.

Sometimes we can feel unsettled and lost when times in are uncertain. Sometimes troubled relationships at home or work or from the past can bring low or anxious feelings that may prompt you to step back and ask yourself who you really are and what is the way forward. As an Existential Psychotherapist I can be with you to explore how is it for you to be you right now in the world in which you find yourself. What possibilities are open to you? What are your anxious feelings really telling you? How can you be OK with the feelings and situations that make you uncomfortable, or not knowing what the future holds?
