You may appear composed and successful, yet beneath the surface feel an unrelenting pressure, cycles of stress, burnout, or emotion that no longer respond to willpower or routine solutions. Perhaps you’ve achieved much, yet something vital still feels unresolved. You may have tried therapy before, only to find it didn’t reach the depth you needed. I work with individuals who value insight, precision, and meaningful change. My specialisms include trauma therapy, EMDR, executive therapy, and addiction recovery.

Maybe you look capable and together to others, but feel held back on the inside by overthinking, self-doubt, or fear of getting things wrong.
Using CBT, I help clients understand what’s keeping them stuck and gently change the patterns that fuel anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism. I use Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tailor therapy to your individual needs and enhance the benefits of CBT, ensuring long-term results.

Emotional abuse may go undetected by the person experiencing it, at that time, but it can lead to low self worth, stress and anxiety disorders, depression, weak immune system and other health issues, poor self awareness, and attracting other abusive relationships.
Experiencing burnout, chronic illness, or emotional overwhelm? I work with people who are worn down by life—burnout, illness, anxiety, low self-worth. Through gentle guidance, inner work, and emotional release, I help you rediscover your strengths and natural abilities.
