You may appear composed and successful, yet beneath the surface feel an unrelenting pressure, cycles of stress, burnout, or emotion that no longer respond to willpower or routine solutions. Perhaps you’ve achieved much, yet something vital still feels unresolved. You may have tried therapy before, only to find it didn’t reach the depth you needed. I work with individuals who value insight, precision, and meaningful change. My specialisms include trauma therapy, EMDR, executive therapy, and addiction recovery.

You might be managing anxiety that never fully switches off, carrying the weight of trauma, navigating relationship strain, or simply feeling stuck and exhausted.

I offer supportive evidence-based therapy, including EMDR where appropriate, to help process distressing memories, understand experiences, reduce overwhelm and build resilience.

Feeling a bit lost and not sure how to move forward? You might be uncertain about who you are, questioning your direction, or navigating a period of change. Therapy can be a helpful way to explore and overcome whatever is causing you difficulties. I am a person-centred therapist, which means I trust that you are the expert in your own life and I work alongside you to create the meaningful change that you need. Rather than working on one “problem” in isolation, I work with the whole unique person, within a space where you are welcomed and understood.

Maybe you are struggling at present to understand why things are the way they are? Sometimes we can all get stuck in patterns of relating, both with ourselves and others, that are not the most helpful or productive. Sometimes this means our relationships might suffer, or our life, career and family choices. Having therapy with an experienced practitioner can help you. Therapy is about building a shared understanding of what you are facing. If you are struggling with trauma, family issues, career issues, relationships, abuse, coping difficulties, I can help. I am also happy working with children and adolescents

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity concerns, and the impact of trauma.
If you feel like you’ve lost your footing in your relationships or your own skin, you don’t have to steady yourself alone. I offer a calm, down-to-earth space to untangle complex patterns and find your way back to yourself. I have a particular interest in how early family roles, especially those shaped by sibling relationships, continue to influence the adults we become. Whether you were the “responsible” eldest, the peacemaker, or the one who felt overlooked, these patterns often echo in our relationships today.

I can help with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, managing stress - many issues feel lighter just by talking them over with a trained counsellor who really 'gets' you.
I trained as a relational and integrative counsellor, with a specific interest in attachment theory, childhood trauma, and boarding school syndrome. I am also trained in a modality called BodyDreaming, particularly useful if you feel permanently numb, or out of touch with or overwhelmed by emotions.
