Healing happens in connection, though the commitment to change starts with you in the intentional choices that you start to make to reclaim your life and your relationships. You may be facing relationship hurdles, isolation, or a profound shift in your identity. Whether you want to rebuild a partnership, heal after a split, navigate complex family dynamics, or simply understand yourself and your choices, I provide a secure, non-judgmental space to find a path forward. We will work collaboratively to help you map patterns, process underlying distress, and develop the insights needed to reclaim your life and build a fulfilling future.

If you’re navigating the crossroads of neurodivergence and emotional wellbeing, this is a space to unmask and live as your whole, authentic self - not the version you were conditioned to be.
Unmask: Let go of the masks you’ve worn to survive - the habits of fitting in, pushing through, or holding it all together.
Heal: Together, we’ll explore how past experiences shape your present, to free yourself from what no longer serves you.
Rise: Step into your empowered era - a life that feels like freedom.

Entering into counselling can be daunting and scary. Whatever it is that brings you to counselling we will work together with a freedom for you to "be" without judgement or criticism. It is often about gaining a greater understanding of where we find ourselves now as well as giving a voice to our experiences and feelings, often for the first time. Together we can work towards a brighter and more positive future for you.

I am a UKCP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist, currently offering therapy in person, online or via the telephone. Appointments are available weekdays evenings.
As the demands of day to day living have increased so have the levels of stress, anxiety and depression, these being a subsequent cause of personal and professional relational issues, therefore it is understandable, even acceptable that therapy has become a favourable option to help many of us address our challenges. It is my experience that therapy can provide us with a real opportunity to attain fresh understanding for the events cause us distress in our lives.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and burnout. Many of my clients feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns that are difficult to understand or change on their own. They may be struggling with the impact of earlier life experiences, current life pressures, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or self-critical. People often come to therapy when they want to make sense of what is going on internally and find a more stable and compassionate way forward in their lives and relationships.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes it's enough to recognise that something just doesn't feel right, even if you can't quite put your finger on why.
Maybe you're struggling with anxiety that never seems to switch off, finding yourself stuck in the same patterns or carrying the effects of difficult experiences from the past. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or simply know that something needs to change. If you've never had therapy before, it's completely understandable to feel unsure about taking that first step.

As a CBT psychotherapist and couples counsellor, I help individuals understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact.
