I work with adults experiencing PTSD, trauma, phobias, fear-based avoidance, panic and anxiety (including OCD) that impacts daily functioning, confidence and quality of life. I offer evidence-based support using EMDR and CBT. This ensures therapy is focused, effective, measurable and tailored to achieve meaningful, lasting change. Recovery from trauma and anxiety often involves more than talking in a therapy room. Together, we work to reduce fear, rebuild confidence and help you to re-engage with situations, environments or activities that may feel overwhelming or restricted after difficult experiences.

Navigating around life, work, family, relationships, sex and intimacy, most of us at some point will find ourselves in a situation where we might benefit from some extra support. I work with individuals, couples and families with both a relational and individual focus. I am qualified Psychosexual & Relationship therapist. Alongside my Private Practice, I have previously worked with Relate, the NHS, Hospices and a Sexual Assault Support Centre. I also work with sex addiction (including support for partners and families). I have an approachable, warm & empathic approach and clients feed back that they find this incredibly helpful.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating in your life? You might notice anxiety, stress, or low mood affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self—without fully understanding why. I work with clients who want to develop a deeper awareness of how their thoughts, emotions, stress, and anxieties come together to shape their experience of living. Together, we explore what may be happening beneath the surface, helping you make sense of patterns that feel confusing or difficult to change. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative and grounded in creating a space where you can speak openly.

For more than 25 years, I’ve supported adults in the NHS and more recently, in private practice, helping people find their way back to calm, confidence, and emotional balance. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, panic, low mood, self‑esteem difficulties, relationship concerns, or the impact of trauma and PTSD, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Change is absolutely possible, and therapy can be a meaningful place to start.

Are you experiencing difficult thoughts and feelings such as anxiety, depression, anger and/or sadness? Do you perhaps find it hard to talk about what is going on for you with people around you including your loved ones? You may be noticing that the way you are coping is not helping you to feel better in the long term. I strongly believe that everyone deserves a chance to learn how to manage difficult things that are going on for them, and to move forward to a place where they can feel positive and their mind is at ease. I can work with you collaboratively, and help you to achieve your goals.
