I am an experienced therapist working with both couples and individuals. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, career issues and relationships. If you are a couple, you may be attending therapy to work through a particular challenge or event, to maintain a relationship that's essentially working well, or to consider ending a relationship kindly and respectfully. Whether you're attending individually or as a couple, at the start of our work, we'll identify what you want to achieve from counselling. Whether your aims are abstract or specific, we can work towards them together.

I have worked alongside people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, experiencing a broad range of mental health difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, OCD, PTSD, workplace stress, attachment and relationship difficulties. I am also experienced working with members of both the LGBTQ and neurodiverse communities. I take a non-judgmental approach to others, and believes that building positive, trusting relationships is central to therapy. I believe each person, and their difficulties, deserves a psychological approach tailored to their own, personal experience and preferences.

Together, we explore identity, emotional regulation, relationships, and practical strategies for daily life. Whether diagnosed or self-identifying, you are welcome here. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored—creating a space where you can feel understood and be fully yourself.

What if the traps you keep falling into actually make perfect sense? Let’s look together at achieving the lasting change you’re hoping for. I specialise in helping with emotional blocks relating to earlier life experiences including trauma.

I can help you to feel grounded, aware and better equipped - not just to cope but to thrive.

My clients are thoughtful individuals who value depth and reflection. Many have lived through trauma, loss, or periods of profound transition, and now seek not quick solutions but sustained psychological work. They are drawn to therapy as an ongoing investment in awareness, relationship, and inner freedom — a confidential space to explore complexity, rediscover meaning, and live with greater authenticity and emotional depth. This is a process for those who wish to engage seriously with themselves and create lasting transformation at the deepest levels of experience, where real change becomes possible.

I am a warm and compassionate integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor - specifically trained to work with children and young people - with over 20-years’ experience supporting children and adolescents with a range of social, emotional and mental health needs. My training as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor means I can tailor therapy or counselling to the needs of the individual. Experience has taught me that It is the relationship between myself and a child or young person that is central to therapy being helpful and I offer an environment where children and young people can explore their thoughts and feelings freely.
