I work with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, low mood or depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or exploring their experiences of neurodiversity.
I offer therapy that meets you where you are. My integrative approach blends Person‑Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic ideas, and I provide EMDR for single‑incident trauma when intrusive memories need focused processing. Sessions can be reflective, practical or both, always guided by what feels most helpful to you.

I work with clients facing a broad range of issues; including being anxious, stressed or feeling 'lost in the world'; as well as seeking meaning or purpose in life.
I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

This includes exploring maladaptive thinking processes that cause internal harm (CBT approach), together with working on 'what has happened' to clients that has brought this on, causing symptoms such as depression, anxiety and stress, which may be connected with traumatic events.
Welcome to my profile. I hope you find the support you need, whether with me or another counsellor. For those who have taken that important step, I enjoy working alongside and celebrating with them when improvements in their mental health begin to show. This can involve getting to the root causes of symptoms, which is typically connected with 'what has happened to you'. We are shaped by our past, which is key to our understanding of 'self'. By giving attention to the feelings that play out in the present we can learn how to take back control of our emotions to live a better life, including in how we relate to self and others.
