Some experiences are too heavy to carry alone. When you feel isolated in debilitating anxiety, or stuck in grief, depression or abuse, life can seem overwhelming and out of control.
A place where you feel safe and held to share your most vulnerable self can help alleviate these feelings and start to give clarity to the way ahead. An empathic, professionally attentive environment can support you through this process. I work integratively, adapting my approach to suit your personal situation, rooted in respect for you as an individual and your background or culture.

I help people feel more in control of their emotions, more self-aware, and more compassionate towards themselves. I blend professional and personal insight as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, and my background in career mentorship gives me a grounded understanding of workplace pressures and chronic stress. I work with adults, adolescents, and children, paying particular attention to the “inner child” in adults — using structured and creative methods to address unmet needs, old fears, and limiting beliefs. Together, we will work to meet life's challenges with calm, quiet self-criticism and foster genuine self-acceptance.

I often work in a somatic, or mindbody way, connecting your physical and psychological symptoms, we may use techniques such as focusing, visualisation, somatic tracking and emotion wheels.
I support clients with anxiety, trauma and/or chronic pain and illness to live their best life. Anxiety can be debilitating and overwhelming. I work with you to offer new perspective, to resolve issues and find new ways forward. We often 'block' thoughts as a coping strategy, and whilst this can be very useful, it can increase anxiety. If you experience physical symptoms such as headaches, IBS, joint pain or fibromyalgia, your body may be literally holding the weight of your anxiety. We can consider whether a more holistic approach will help you–exploring the connection between your physical symptoms and your emotions.

Sometimes life can present difficult challenges. When that happens it's easy to feel confused, lonely, stuck and perhaps even judged. I can help you by providing a space for realisation, processing trauma and finding greater inner peace and freedom to live the life you wish for. I believe that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Having self compassion and being at peace with one’s self can be difficult to practice. I want to bring you hope and support you in becoming your own best friend.

I work with young people and adults who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and who don’t always find it easy to put their experiences into words. Many of the people I work with are navigating neurodiversity (inc ADHD & autism), anxiety, trauma, or challenges with emotional regulation. They often come to therapy when traditional talking approaches haven’t quite felt like the right fit, or when they’re looking for a different way of understanding themselves. Together, we create a space that supports both verbal and non-verbal expression, allowing for exploration at a pace that feels manageable and grounded.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
