While I can certainly help with individual therapy needs, I also specialize in military lifestyles and marriage/couples counseling.
As a therapist, I inspire to untangle issues that may be causing you stress, anxiety or just leaving you empty. As a fellow human, I understand that life is more complex than “black and white” thinking and we often live in a multi level of gray. I bring empathy to our sessions for what you may need help navigating as well as outside perspective, tools and insight to our sessions. My goal is for you to know that your feelings are validated, you are heard and you can absolutely move forward from “here”.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR qualified, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I charge £65 per session, and £50 for concession session fee for anyone in the armed forces, NHS and education (including spouses).
I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.
