I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist, and an EMDR therapist. If you're struggling with difficulties related to previous traumas, painful memories or losses from the past, then I can help you to make sense of these and to understand why you're feeling overwhelmed. We can then process the painful memories and emotions to help you to feel calmer and more content. I have a particular interest in helping people with anxiety disorders (like OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety). I will help you to understand what is keeping you trapped, and to build the confidence and skills to challenge yourself, and face the things that scare you.

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, with 15 years experience working within the NHS with a wide range of people aged 16 plus, specialising in depression, anxiety disorders, including PTSD and perinatal mental health.
Experiencing and living with anxiety or depression can hugely impact on your quality of life and can be debilitating. There may have been difficult experiences in your life that continue to impact on your now, and have changed the way you see yourself, others and the world. People often struggle with self critical thoughts, or have a lack of confidence in themselves. Anxiety can present in lots of different ways, or begin following life events, like having a baby or starting a new job. Learning to understand what leads to anxiety or low mood, for you individually, and how to make changes to feel better is empowering.

I support those experiencing pregnancy, baby loss and IVF.
Stuck, confused, anxious. I hear you. Are you in a couple or relationship and struggle to know what you want, how to say it and how to be heard and understood? Navigating life, relationships and a whirlwind of emotions is exhausting. Anxiety weighs heavy in our bodies and takes up space in our mind; feeling lost without a way forward is a lonely experience and past trauma can feel very present. I offer gentleness and compassion, challenge when it's welcome, humour when laughter can heal, and room for tears when they need to fall. I take the time to hear and validate you, your story and what has brought you to this place.

Warm, attachment-based counselling for anxiety, grief, work-related stress and life changes in Norfolk, London and online. Life can often look calm from the outside—but that doesn't necessarily mean you feel calm inside. Perhaps you’ve been carrying anxiety, stress or grief. Maybe relationships feel difficult, work feels overwhelming, or you’ve started to notice patterns in yourself that you want to understand. Many people reach out for counselling when life feels heavy or confusing. You might feel unsure where to begin, or what you even need—only that something doesn’t feel right, and you’d like a safe, private space to talk.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
