Perhaps you’re coping on the surface but struggling internally, or finding that a life change such as becoming a parent or experiencing a loss has brought unexpected feelings.
I offer psychodynamic therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, post-natal depression and bereavement. I also support people exploring identity, self-worth or neurodiversity such as ADHD. Therapy can offer a place to slow things down, reflect, and begin to understand what’s going on beneath the surface

I am interested in whole hearted wellness- begin to learn how to take care of yourself undoing attachment issues and relational problems. Address low energy and self esteem.

I have expertise and experience in trauma, anxiety, depression, work and life stress, family relationship problems, physical health problems, parenting, cultural issues and neurodiversity.
Do you keep coming back to the same problem, and struggle to get yourself out? Have you tried lots of different things and feel it’s time to reach out for professional help? Perhaps life has thrown challenge after challenge at you, and you are reaching your limit. Perhaps there has always been a problem you’ve suppressed, and you now feel it’s time to get help for it. Or you would like some time and space to explore your past. You could be seeking help for yourself, or it could be for a loved one or a child - they need help and you also want to know how to help them.

I believe that healing happens in relationship. Many of the difficulties we carry (addiction, disordered eating, anxiety, shame, or feeling stuck) are shaped in relationship too. Therapy offers a different kind of relational experience: one that is steady, compassionate, and non judgemental. In our work together, we pay attention not only to what you say, but to how you feel, how patterns repeat, and how earlier experiences may still be influencing the present. This includes gently exploring unconscious processes, attachment patterns, and emotional responses that may not yet have words.

I work with people from all walks of life, but most of my work is with trans clients, and I specialise in working with older trans adults on issues around identity, parenting, ageing and childhood trauma.
I offer a lived experience perspective when working with queer, trans and autistic clients. I have been in the client's chair, and I know the value of therapy that is genuinely culturally fluent. My work is often creative, visual and quirky - a bit 'off beat', reflecting my desire to approach things differently for my clients.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 13 years experience in mental health. I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ASD and ADHD assessments.

Others are raising a child for whom nothing in the parenting books quite fits, and quietly wondering whether that apple fell all that far from the tree.
Together, we'll make sense of how your brain works — the brilliant parts, the chaotic parts, and the ones that some days make you want to lie on the floor and wait it out — and find strategies that actually work for you. Some of this is counselling, some of it coaching; all online, in English or French. No diagnosis needed to be here.

Counsellor, MBACP Accred

I've a particular interest in supporting parents/carers of neuro diverse young people, or those who have experienced trauma.
Life can be busy, and it's easy to keep going without taking time to pause and reflect. Therapy offers that opportunity. My role is to listen carefully, understand your experiences, and support you as you work through the challenges you face. A safe, supportive therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work together. As talking therapy isn't right for everyone, I also offer equine and animal-assisted therapy. Through feeling heard and understood, you can develop greater self-awareness and acceptance, leading to positive changes in your wellbeing, relationships, and daily life.
