Life can be hard, and you don't have to navigate it alone. If you are feeling lost, anxious, sad, depressed or sense that there is something not quite right and you don't know, talking with me may help. You may be feeling exhausted from trying to fit in, feeling too much, not enough or constantly misunderstood....you feel different. Maybe you are having difficulty enjoying life, suffering from recurring negative or intrusive thoughts, or struggling with relationships?...or parenting feels overwhelming?

We all want to enjoy the lives we have, not be bogged down in self criticism, overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in spirals of negative thinking, or be haunted by the past. If you find yourself here because you're struggling with anxiety, depression, painful emotions, self criticism, or patterns of coping that are damaging your life and your relationships, then you're in the right place. Again and again I have seen the power of compassion in releasing people from the suffering that can come with these cycles. With the right support you too can take the courageous, and sometimes painful steps towards becoming the person you'd like to be.

I am interested in helping women understand how their inner and outer worlds interact and how the experience of being female in a patriarchal society shapes our emotional lives. If there a specific life event or relationship you would like to address, or painful experiences in your past that you need to safely talk through or you find yourself feeling unhappy, anxious or stuck, I may be able to help.

Life can feel overwhelming and starting therapy can feel daunting, which is why I offer a calm, inclusive environment where you can think and feel without having to manage how you come across. People come to me with a wide range of experiences. Some are feeling overwhelmed, navigating life transitions such as bereavement, menopause, children leaving home, changing jobs, divorce, fertility, questioning their identity, gender, sexuality. You may not even know what is wrong and that's ok too. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is the first step, which is why I offer a, free 20 minute call.

Finding your way here takes courage. Whether it was a moment of crisis, a quiet sense that something isn't right, or simply a feeling that you deserve more from life. Life can shake us in ways we never expected. Anxiety, grief, anger, emptiness, or a disconnection from the life force that makes us feel alive. Sometimes what we experience isn't just one feeling, but many, pulling in different directions, often at the same time. Parts of us that long to be seen, others that protect, withdraw, or fight. When these parts are in conflict or feel disconnected from each other, life can feel fragmented.

We all deserve to have someone championing us. I am here to offer caring and supportive therapy, where you can explore your challenges and build a life grounded in self-compassion and understanding. You may be facing the pain of a loss or breakup, or trying to untangle patterns of anxiety or isolation, or simply craving a safe space to be heard and understood. My goal is to help you be 100% of who you are. Therapy is a space to share, to be silent, cry, laugh, even be playful. As a gay man I have learned the power of embracing all the parts of who I am (including the messy bits!) and I want the same for you.

I have worked with a wide range of client issues including anxiety, low confidence and self-esteem, trauma, feelings of depression, self-harm, bereavement and loss, physical and learning disabilities, sexual and gender identity, suicidal intentions and general feelings of low mood and loneliness. As well as allowing clients to talk through their feelings, I have also employed creative techniques including free drawing, letter writing, poetry and songwriting, play scriptwriting and sand tray work. I am trained in Clinical Supervision and EMDR, both of which I find are powerful methods of working.
