I work with people struggling with trauma, addiction, self esteem, and patterns that keep repeating despite their best efforts to change. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or like things are beginning to slip beneath the surface.
This is a space where you can speak openly without judgement or pressure. Together we can explore what may sit underneath these patterns, including early experiences, relationships, emotional wounds, and ways of coping such as substance use or other addictive behaviours.

When you struggle with emotional or cognitive changes - whether due to ADHD, a brain injury, or the fog of a long-term health condition - the world can feel like it wasn’t built for you. You might find yourself constantly 'masking' to fit in, feeling overwhelmed by tasks that seem simple to others, grieving the person you were before, or worrying about the future. If you are feeling overwhelmed by cognitive changes or frustrated by a life that feels out of sync with your goals, I am here to help you find clarity and self-compassion.

Do you ever feel that your life could be better? Maybe there is not enough satisfaction and joy in your life? Maybe you feel stuck, perhaps because you have been unable to create the life you want, or because relationships, either at home or work, seem to repeat in unhelpful ways without resolution. Sometimes these circumstances can interact with anxiety, depression or other difficulties, causing an unhelpful spiral which leave you feeling even less able to make positive change. Contacting a therapist may feel difficult, but it can be the first step towards understanding the blocks preventing you from living the life you want.

You may be experiencing difficulties with worry, negative self-talk or confidence. You may have noticed a change in how you’re reacting to things such as checking more or avoiding certain situations. People often describe this as a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.
Whether it’s been going on for a while or something new, we work together to understand what your unhelpful cycles look like and how we can break them by creating healthier habits and patterns of thinking. This helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression, leaving you better equipped to manage difficult emotions.

I welcome both self-funded and insured clients, working with WPA, AXA, Aviva, Bupa and Vitality.
Does anxiety feel like it's controlling your life? Perhaps your mind never switches off. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, imagine the worst or constantly doubt yourself. You may be living with panic attacks, health anxiety, OCD or a relentless pressure to get everything "right". Anxiety can leave you exhausted and disconnected from the life you want to live. The good news is that these patterns are understandable, treatable and don't have to define your future.

I am a registered health professional with Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva and Vitality.
Hello and welcome. There are many difficulties we can face which make life feel harder to manage. At different times we all experience challenges with managing our mental and emotional wellbeing - perhaps in relation to significant life events, work, transitions, accidents or illnesses. Often we draw on our usual ways of coping to get us through, but sometimes it can be helpful to make sense of our experiences with someone who can offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space which is entirely yours.

I am a full-time counsellor, supervisor and mental health trainer working in private practice for Bupa, AXA, private clients and many other insurers.
My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this.
I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

We all long to live well. But have you ever asked yourself what that truly means? You may have tried various self-help methods or even AI tools to improve your life, only to feel as though it’s like pouring a teapot of water over a burning house. You might find yourself caught in tangled thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that seem to repeat again and again. Perhaps you’ve asked, why is this happening, and how do I stop it? Yet nothing seems to work.
You are in the right place. I offer a safe, yet honest space where we can look beneath the surface and, with surgical precision, forgive and release everything that no longer serves you
