Hi, I'm Kimberley, a Counselling Psychologist specialising in anxiety, stress, burnout. Do you spend hours replaying conversations, worrying what others think of you? Perhaps relationships feel difficult to navigate, rejection hits hard, or you struggle to set boundaries and say no. Pushing yourself relentlessly yet not feeling good enough, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed. Feeling like your life isn't how you imagined it would be or feeling disconnected from what matters most. In therapy, we'll work together to understand these challenges and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

As an experienced Integrative and Relational Psychotherapist I support people who feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures. Often sat in positions of responsibility, many of my clients appear composed on the outside while managing patterns like people‑pleasing, overthinking/anxieties, or fear of letting others down under the surface. Maybe you are are facing a new situation that you are unsure how to navigate & need a safe space to process what it brings. I offer a space to work together as we untangle the patterns shaped by past experiences so that you can move forward with clarity, acceptance & authenticity in the current challenges.

Accredited Professional Therapist with years of experience offering in-person therapy as well as telephone and online sessions. Specialising in Men's mental health and Trauma. Things happen in life that catch us off guard, trauma, death of a loved one, diagnosis of an illness and more. You might pride yourself in being able to handle most of what life deals you. This feels different and it's impacting other things in your life. Sometimes it takes exploring the issues candidly without concern of being a burden, being judged or worried about.

Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered perhaps in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients often identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

Are you struggling to balance a various life roles with your personal needs? I work with individuals and couples in the UK and internationally who feel disconnected from their purpose. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed by expectations, and wrestling with stress or emptiness. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of these feelings, move beyond the pressure to "just tough it out," and help you reclaim your authentic narrative. Insight tells us that motivation rarely arrives on its own; it is the act of stepping forward that creates the momentum for change.

Many of the people who come to therapy are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to shift alone. Some are navigating the impact of past experiences, while others are struggling in relationships, managing stress, or facing significant life changes. Often, they are thoughtful people who have been coping for a long time but are ready to understand themselves more deeply. In therapy, we take time to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, helping clients gain insight, develop healthier ways of responding to challenges, & move towards a life that feels more balanced and manageable.

Living with a long-term health condition can affect far more than your physical health. You may be adjusting to a diagnosis, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to feel like yourself again. I also work with people who feel stuck, burnt out, or off track, even without a specific diagnosis. Most people I see want to feel more in control, regain direction, and move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
