Are you being driven by self-defeating thoughts but don’t know how to change? To the outside world you have it all; everything seems well. Internally you are stuck in a cycle of self-criticism, self-doubt, and overthinking. You feel that you are walking on eggshells; you don't want to upset anyone. You struggle to make meaningful connections with people and the things that are important to you. These things are beginning to have real world consequences on your relationships, work, and social life, and you fear that it will always be this way. But you don't have to stay stuck in this cycle.

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.

Are you navigating a period where life no longer feels familiar, after loss, separation, relocation, illness, or a major life transition? Perhaps you’ve been holding everything together for a long time, yet quietly feel unmoored, uncertain, or unlike yourself. You don’t have to face this period of change alone. I work with adults facing significant change who want a calm, thoughtful space to make sense of what has shifted. Many of the people I support are capable, reflective individuals who find themselves at an unexpected crossroads — grieving not only what has been lost, but questioning who they are now and how to move forward.

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.

I am an trained in various therapies including cbt therapy.

I am also a qualified coach and work with women that have experienced abuse. Alongside my therapy practice, i am also a supervisor and have 22 years of experience supporting therapists.
