Are you feeling lost after grief or trauma, caught in emotional highs and lows, or struggling with motivation or a sense of purpose?

Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, process painful experiences, and build the skills and self-compassion to move toward a life that feels meaningful and grounded in what truly matters to you.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can slow things down, talk openly and be fully heard by someone who isn't part of your outside world. Feeling unsure at the beginning is completely normal. Early sessions are about building trust, creating safety, and gently exploring what you’d like support with.

I work with anxiety (generalised, social, panic attacks, perfectionism, health, separation, phobia), depression, self esteem, body image, OCD and trauma.
CBT is a well researched and effective treatment for anxiety and depression. I focus on using proven techniques and adapt them to the person's age and individual differences (e.g. neurodiversity). While CBT forms the foundation of my work, I balance practical strategies with space for reflection, self understanding and personal growth.

Do you struggle with depression, guilt or anxiety?
I use the simple but powerful techniques of psychodrama to understand the present and envision the future. Role-reversal works with empathy; doubling promotes insight; concretisation nurtures self-awareness; mirroring provides perspective; role-analysis brings understanding, role-reparation brings healing, and role-training supports rehearsal for the future.

CBT helps us make sense of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, and together we will gently explore what may be keeping you stuck. We will then develop practical tools you can use in everyday life to help you feel more confident and in control.

When we are stressed, anxious, depressed or having difficulty in expressing ourselves to others, then just getting through a day can feel like an impossible task.
Talking therapy can offer a safe, non judgemental space in which you can explore your feelings, emotions and thoughts to open up new ways of thinking and being. Working creatively is helpful for some people but it is completely your choice. Therapy allows a person to gain a perspective of a situation, work towards solutions and become 'unstuck'.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
