I have experience working with a wide variety of presenting problems, including eating disorders, relationship difficulties, addiction, low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and pain.
I provide a non-judgmental, safe, confidential, neuroaffirming, therapeutic space where we can better understand what’s going on for you. A great deal of my practice is focused on relationships (with ourselves and others- including our relationships with the things and people we turn to- substances, eating disorders, self- harm etc). I love working with people to help them better understand themselves and work with many of my clients to explore whether they may be Neurodivergent. I also offer clinical supervision to Integrative therapists.

I have an integrative approach which means I draw upon different modalities of counselling through my experience and training. This will help me meet your needs in the best way I can whilst working with you.

In our work I will invite you to be curious, to allow deeper feelings to surface and to explore them with me as a reliable, resilient companion. I believe that togerther, allowing our creativity and imagination free rein, we can find a place of calm in the turbulence. A place where you can come to accept things you cannot change, have compassion for your most vulnerable self and hopeful growth towards your true whole self. I work in an integrative style, which means I can draw on different approaches within psychotherapy to build a working alliance personalised to you while also drawing on my own inner responses and felt sense.

We all respond differently to the pressures and changes- you may be swinging from one emotion to another, or feeling numb and tired, or just can't think straight... We are all doing our best to cope, but maybe your normal ways of coping aren't working well enough at the moment? Or maybe you have turned to ways of coping that are unhelpful- like drinking too much ? I can help you find your feet and see what is important for you right now. I know how important it is to find a breathing space to process what is happening when you are living with chaos and uncertainty

I work with a variety of mental health presentations, whether related to work/academic stress, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity, trauma, or to mental diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, OCD, personality disorders and more.
I believe that each person is unique. Therefore, therapy needs to be tailored to the individual. Some people may prefer an open space for them to talk, taking the time to reflect on their experiences, whereas others may need something more structured, with the hope of learning effective coping strategies. Some may want a bit of both. There is not a one size fits all. I draw from evidence-based modalities of therapy, such as CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered to create a therapeutic plan tailored to the client and their goals. I also offer neurodevelopmental and psychological assessments, such as ADHD.

 There is no level of sadness or worry that means therapy is right for you, our experiences and our responses are unique so the route through those feelings is also very personal.
However difficult it may feel, I’ll be alongside you offering a balance of compassionate exploration and supportive challenge where you are safely and gently held. I integrate a range of skills and models of therapy from somatic (felt sense) experience, to IFS, and tailor sessions to the needs of my clients.

For most of us, life is a complex mix of highs and lows. Sometimes we need specialist help, separate to our family and friends, to support our mental health and wellbeing and help us find our way. You might have a child or young person in distress; perhaps you’re battling with parenting or behaviour issues; or maybe you are an adolescent or young adult struggling to navigate life. Psychotherapy can help you make sense of difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours; allowing you to create better relationships, healthier behaviours, achieve potential and find joy in life.

You don’t need to be in crisis to come to therapy. Many of the people I work with are functioning day-to-day, but something doesn’t quite sit right — overthinking, feeling stuck, low mood, or a sense of disconnection. They’re often thoughtful, self-aware people who have tried to figure things out on their own, but keep going round in circles. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to move forward in a way that feels more grounded and real.

Feeling disconnected, anxious, and unsure about who you really are?
I'm a qualified relational psychotherapist and coach. I draw on psychodynamic, attachment and systemic approaches to understand how you came to be who you are, how your past shapes your present, and what's quietly keeping you stuck. I blend therapy with coaching, alongside somatic and creative practices, to turn that awareness into practical change.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

Perhaps anxiety, low mood, or ongoing stress are taking up more space in your life than you’d like.
I work integratively and relationally, adapting therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is trauma-informed and client-led, with experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, and burnout. I pay close attention to pace, safety, and what feels manageable.
