If you are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, negative beliefs or unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns you will already be aware of the negative impact they have on your physical health, your relationships and your life overall. These symptoms can be debilitating and overwhelming but did you realise that they could be a result of traumatic or painful experiences in your past and that there is a way to change this? I use EMDR therapy and more to help you reprocess these negative experiences to reduce their emotional impact, change your beliefs about yourself and significantly decrease your current symptoms.

You may be carrying something that feels too heavy or too confusing to put into words, grief that won't lift, anxiety that shadows everything, or a sense that old patterns keep repeating no matter how hard you try. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, loss, or a pain that others haven't fully understood. My clients are adults across the UK who are ready to look deeper, not for quick answers, but for real understanding. Many come with depression, trauma, complex grief, infant loss, or relationship difficulties. Some come from diverse cultural backgrounds navigating identity, belonging, and emotional pain. What they share is courage.

It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

Life can be stressful and full of uncertainty, so as a Counselling Psychologist I will use a variety of theories from my years of training and beyond to treat you as a whole person who is more than just their struggles, insecurities and pain. Therapy can help you deeply explore your past or give you tools to cope better in the present. It can allow someone else to understand you so that eventually you can understand yourself. I am a relatable and down to earth person and my aim is to make you feel safe, listened to, valued and understood so that you can build self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance.

I believe in the power of opening up, and while I will draw on theory and knowledge to support each individual, I am led by the client and their individual needs. An ideal client is someone who wishes to build a therapeutic space alongside me, allowing me to facilitate safety and build trust. I am interested in helping others to develop personal growth and insight through the relational dynamics they experience.

Online Counselling Across the UK & In-Person Counselling in Keynsham I support adults who may be experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Perhaps on the outside, you’re coping. You’re showing up, getting things done, and being there for others. But inside, things may feel heavier than they should. Maybe anxiety is making it difficult to switch off. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or no longer quite yourself. Maybe you’re trying to navigate a difficult life transition, a loss, a relationship change, or a period of uncertainty that you never expected.
