You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, struggling with food, emotions, grief, or the impact of past experiences. You might feel anxious, low, or unsure how to express what’s going on inside. You don’t need to have everything figured out — just a willingness to explore in a safe, supportive space. I work with adults, children, and young people seeking understanding, healing, and a way forward at their own pace, and I warmly welcome neurodivergent clients.

A very warm welcome. I understand that reaching out and going to therapy can often be a big and daunting step. My approach is down-to-earth, warm, compassionate, and supportive of your individual needs. When we feel understood, safe and heard, we can then begin to heal. As a qualified psychotherapist, I will be alongside you on your journey. Therefore, creating a trusting relationship that gives you the support, validation, and safety you may need is central to the way I work.

Perhaps you are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life or aren’t sure of the way ahead in your life. Transitions and dilemmas can occur at any point during a person’s life. These might include marriage or becoming a couple: changes in a private or professional role: uncertainty in identity: relationship difficulties: loss; pregnancy: child birth; and the challenges presented during the ageing process. Sometimes we need to make sense of what has happened to us and sort out our emotions. I have worked with a range of difficulties which can occur at any point during a person’s life. I am familiar and happy to work with difference.
