Offering a safe space for exploration and reflection, to feel heard and held.
We all have times in life when things seem to get on top of us. We may feel confused, anxious or depressed. Sometimes it feels like we are just going round in circles, getting nowhere in particular. Having someone to talk to can lighten the load and this is often easier with someone other than family or friends.
I have many years experience in working with:
depression
anxiety
loss and bereavement
self- esteem
relationships
body image
addiction
life stages
aimlessness and loss of direction
fears and phobias
perfectionism
work related issues
parenting

I offer face to face sessions, online or walk and talk therapy weekdays from 9am-3pm.
You are holding it all together, but are you living fully? On paper, everything looks fine, but inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected by the effort of holding up the mask of 'being fine'. You wake up tense, shutting down to your partner or reacting to small things. This isn't a failure; it's an old survival strategy. As a child, you learned to suppress your needs to be safe. Now, your nervous system is stuck on high alert, keeping you small and exhausted. If you are tired of merely functioning and feel that niggling sense that you are missing out on your own life, I am here to help you come back to yourself.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, or simply not yourself. Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of trauma, loss or change. Are you struggling to make sense of what’s happened, feeling stuck, or finding it hard to cope? Do you long to feel calmer, safer in your body, and more connected to yourself again? If any of this resonates, please know you’re not alone.
At times, life can feel heavy and confusing. In these moments, having a dedicated space to pause, reflect, and gently explore what’s going on for you can be a powerful part of healing.

I have just re-opened my books for new clients, and have some limited availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, online or in-person
Life often feels messy. Sometimes we can get trapped in a storm of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that we just can't figure out how to move through, and we can be left feeling frustrated and helpless. I really understand that, it can be unbearable to feel this way and we can feel worse for not knowing how to 'fix' it. The truth is that you don't need to be fixed - trust me on this. Instead, you are likely at a point where you could do with the right support and guidance to help you listen to what's happening within, and come to understand it in a different way that allows you to move forward.

Even when you’re thoughtful and self-aware, certain patterns can continue to shape your relationships in ways that don’t feel good. You may find yourself cycling through the same reactions, fears, or dynamics, leading to conflict, distance, or not feeling fully met. You might be carrying pain from childhood, navigating stress or anxiety, or facing challenges around intimacy or sexuality. You’re seeking more than insight—you want real change. Ultimately, you want relationships where you feel emotionally secure, connected, and confident.

I am here to listen. The body and mind work together, and I work holistically to support you through whatever has brought you to seek help. This could be traumas such as bereavement, abuse or relationship difficulties - sometimes there's no specific cause, but a generalised feeling of anxiety or sadness that makes it hard to cope with day to day stresses. Talking to somebody empathic and non-judgemental can help, and I offer a warm, safe and confidential space for us to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions so that you can make sense of them, and find a much better sense of mental wellbeing.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
