I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. Many clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, stressed, or frustrated with patterns they can’t seem to change. Some are carrying past experiences that still affect them today, while others struggle with emotional regulation, relationships, anger, or self-confidence. People often want a safe, down-to-earth space where they can talk openly and make sense of what’s going on. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understand their emotions, and build practical tools they can use in everyday life. I work collaboratively, at your pace.

Do you feel stuck in your life or relationships, even though you're trying your best to move forward? Maybe you find yourself overthinking, doubting your worth, or repeating the same patterns — especially after difficult or painful relationships. I work with people who struggle with low self-esteem, feel emotionally stuck, or have been affected by challenging relationships that changed how they see themselves. You might feel drained, unsure of who you are, or disconnected from your own needs. Even if things look “fine” on the outside, inside it can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming.

You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, on edge, or stuck in patterns that don't make sense. You might experience anxiety, dissociation, flashbacks, emotional swings, self-harm urges, disordered eating or difficulties in relationships. You want relief, stability, and to feel like yourself again - not just cope, but truly heal. You may be tired of surviving and want life to feel calmer, safer and more meaningful.

I specialise in working with post traumatic stress and moral injury, including occupational trauma faced by veterans, emergency services and health and social care workers. I have ten years of NHS experience including providing support to hospital staff, many of whom work in high-stress environments, and working with complex post traumatic stress including asylum seeker and refugee populations. This wide range of experience has deepened my understanding of trauma, burnout, and the emotional toll of high-pressure roles, which I bring to my work with professionals.

Are you finding life tough, and feel that you are going round in circles mentally. I provide a safe space for you to come and share what is bothering you. I had a career in business before I decided to become a therapist. I wanted to apply the skills learnt to help people become the best version of themselves. It has been said. "Our clients no matter how odd or bizarre their behaviour may seem to an outsider, are essentially normal people with abnormal problems." For me this sums up therapy. It takes bravery to come for therapy, but we all need a safe space to talk to someone in our lives.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
