I have over twenty years experience supporting individuals and couples through periods of emotional difficulty and personal challenges.
I work psychodynamically, paying close attention to unconscious processes, early relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape emotional life in the present. This approach can be particularly helpful for longstanding or complex difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, struggles linked to identity, success and visibility.

Since then, I have also trained as a Relationship Counsellor to support couples and clients with relationship difficulties, a Supervisor, and EMDR Therapist to support clients with trauma-related symptoms.
I offer a warm, steady space for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or weighed down by low mood. These feelings often make sense in the context of current stress, but they can also be rooted in earlier experiences. When early life was unpredictable or unsafe, it can leave lasting impressions that show up in adulthood as anxiety, people‑pleasing, self‑criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, or a sense of being “too much” or “not enough”. These early or later experiences can also lead to PTSD‑related symptoms such as feeling on edge, easily triggered, or struggling with intrusive memories.

Life can be hard at times. You might be feeling overwhelmed. Or you might have lost your sense of connection and purpose in life. I offer a supportive relationship where you can talk through your challenges. It could be a difficult life situation, or how you feel day to day. Counselling is a space for you, and we can explore what you need together. I’m a humanistic counsellor. My approach is collaborative. You would decide what to explore, I’d be alongside to help you make sense of your challenges. I work with openness and empathy, and hope to ease any anxieties about starting counselling.

You may be living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or long-standing emotional distress, alongside feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood due to ADHD or autistic traits. Past experiences may have involved masking, burnout, or invalidation, leaving you feeling exhausted or unsure of yourself. You might be a busy individual with limited time or feel that weekly therapy hasn’t worked for you. I offer neuroaffirming therapy alongside EMDR intensive therapy to help you process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and gain clarity, supporting you to move forward with greater self-understanding, stability, and confidence.

Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who find themselves struggling with anxiety, shame, trauma, or difficulties in relationships or sexuality. Often, they have coped alone for a long time and feel drained by recurring patterns. Therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what has been happening so new possibilities can emerge. My approach is collaborative. Together we explore what’s keeping things stuck and find realistic, meaningful ways forward. I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Psychosexual Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, with particular experience working with shame.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
