Hello, and thanks for taking a look at my profile. I know how difficult it can be to sift through profiles and take that first step towards reaching out, especially when feeling scared, stuck or overwhelmed. Having worked with people for nearly 15 years, I’m interested in how our experiences, including past or present trauma, influence the way we relate to ourselves, others, the world around us, and how we find meaning in our lives. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore these experiences and work towards meaningful change.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing tailored mental health support. I co-founded Talk Works in 2014 with a mission to make psychological support more accessible and responsive to people’s needs. My approach is grounded in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which are powerful tools in helping clients overcome emotional challenges and trauma. I believe in evidence-based interventions, and working collaboratively to empower my clients.

For the last two years I've worked with both adults and children, supporting them to navigate challenges including anxiety, low self esteem, bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma and carers fatigue.
My approach is warm, trauma‑informed and shaped around each individual’s needs. I draw on person‑centred, CBT and psychodynamic theories to create a therapeutic style that fits each client. I can also integrate creative methods such as sand tray and art therapy, which can help access emotions and insights that may be difficult to express through words alone.

I offer therapy in person, in the heart of Newcastle, Tuesday-Friday, for adults of all ages - a warm, supportive space to explore and heal.
Do you feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, emptiness, or a loss of meaning? Do relationships leave you lonely, unfulfilled, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing? Are you troubled by traumatic or painful memories?
As a relationally trained therapist, I help people build self-esteem, overcome anxiety, form more satisfying connections, and rediscover purpose. You may feel you’ve never truly belonged, or carry the wounds of childhood abuse, neglect, or bullying. You may live with an inner voice that’s often critical or unkind. Perhaps a sudden trauma, betrayal, or loss has shaken your life and left you questioning everything.

People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life.
It can be hard to work out how to improve your situation on your own as, negative thinking patterns and behaviour patterns, can keep us locked in the same cycles of feeling overwhelmed and struggling to be optimistic about life. CBT helps clients identify these negative patterns and provides effective ways to make positive changes and reach your goals.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
