My clients are as diverse as the world in which we live and I endeavour to be culturally aware within my practice. I specialise within anxiety, mood disorders, and spiritual growth. My areas of work include depression, stress, bereavement and grief, anxiety, panic, phobias, self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, body image, eating disorders, suicidality and self-harming behaviours, family and relationship issues, trauma, and abuse (not an exhaustive list). The unique nature of therapy means that it can be time-limited or may be open-ended, it may be goal orientated or more flexibly experienced, we will work together to decide.

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?

I offer online counselling for adults, with a particular interest in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent adults, and people exploring identity, relationships and life experiences that may not fit traditional expectations.

I understand that finding yourself on this page might mean you're feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.

A calm online space for exhausted professional women to put it all down and come back to themselves.
You hold everything together. You're the one who remembers, plans, anticipates and smooths things over — competent on the outside, quietly exhausted underneath. The emotional labour rarely stops, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself.
Often there's more underneath — old relationship patterns, a difficult or controlling past, a nervous system stuck on high alert. You don't need to be fixed. You need somewhere safe to finally set it down, and a steady hand to help you find your way back.

I am an interactive, friendly, experienced therapist with a particular interest in working with people creating their lives outside their comfort zone, or away from social norms. Many are facing new challenges - from realising they are neurodivergent, to surviving a fertility journey or exploring non-monogamy. I am committed to working inclusively and have GSRD (Gender Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) and LGBTQI+ training/experience. I am late-diagnosed ADHD myself so have a personal drive to support others figuring this out.

My approach is warm, gentle and understanding. I strive to create an inclusive environment that welcomes clients from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+. Most importantly, I want to help make positive changes in your life, specialising in issues arising from childhood. We all experience ups and downs in our relationships. Still, if one or both people in the relationship are having mental health problems, this often brings extra challenges, and we may underestimate the impact this can have on the strongest of relationships, either at home or at work. I work with individuals and couples, helping with a full range of issues.

Life can feel heavy when you're used to staying strong and supporting everyone around you. You may be the person others rely on, while your own needs have quietly taken a back seat. Perhaps you're supporting a loved one, juggling responsibilities, or carrying worries that rarely leave your mind.
When life becomes centred around everyone else's needs, it can become difficult to hear your own voice. Together, we'll create the space to slow down, make sense of what's happening and reconnect with yourself.

If you’ve been feeling worn out by anxiety, tangled in constant overthinking, or quietly trying to hold everything together even when it feels heavy, you’re truly not alone. So many people move through the world looking capable while feeling stretched, tired, or unsure how much longer they can keep going. I support people navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and ADHD by offering a space filled with compassion, warmth, and no judgement. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on your mind so you can feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.

The right therapist changes everything. Finding them shouldn't be this hard.
Maybe you've spent years feeling too much, not enough, or like you're disappearing inside your own life. Or maybe you've tried therapy before and left feeling more pathologised than understood.
At Common Ground, you don't have to explain yourself from scratch or make yourself smaller to fit the room. We're a specialist neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed practice — and we get it from the inside.
