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.

You came in uncertain, maybe a little sceptical. You weren't sure therapy could help, or that anything could. But you did the work. Something shifted. Not magic, not overnight but real, lasting change that you still feel today. You moved forward. You built something better. Change took place.
I help people to move forward by making the process of therapy as short as I can, so patients can move on autonomously with tools that are long lasting.
If you're ready to be the kind of person who looks back a year from now and thinks that was the turning point, DoorToTherapy this is the right place to start. Open the door, the focus is you.

Do you feel stressed and disconnected, moving between numbing and activation, feeling stuck and powerless? Are your relationships and sense-of-self suffering? I would love to help!
My somatically-informed integrative approach seeks to create awareness around emotions and thoughts through gentle curiosity, whilst also taking moments of pause to notice how they have landed in the body. Working out where patterns and blockages can be felt and released through resources like breathwork, grounding, tracking, tapping, self-contact and powerful visualizations.

I value doing all I can to offer you an integrated approach assessing your past, present and future using counselling and psychological theories.

There is a quiet, persistent knowing when a life has become a series of inherited patterns or a cycle of 'penance' that no longer serves. Perhaps traditional paths have felt too rigid, leaving the deeper, soulful layers of your experience untouched. My work is for those seeking to move beyond the surface—those who are ready to un-weave the burdens of the past and reclaim a sense of vital, lived belonging. We look for the light that remains intact beneath the struggle, moving toward a life that feels authentic, expansive, and truly your own

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialist training in working with teenagers & children who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, trauma, or difficulties managing big emotions.
Many young people feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and this can be stressful not only for them but for the parents and caregivers who care for them. My aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where young clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, so that they can begin to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism.

My clients often look like they’re coping. They appear capable and responsible, sometimes highly successful, yet privately they are often anxious, disconnected, self-critical or exhausted. Some carry complex trauma or PTSD; others just know something doesn’t feel right. Many have learned to be the strong one. They don’t just want symptom relief — they want to understand their patterns, feel calmer, build steadier relationships and feel at home in who they truly are. They want the opportunity of a therapeutic relationship that will help them heal from their emotional wounds and unburden themselves.
