Are you feeling stuck, lost, or simply worn down by everything you’ve been carrying? Maybe you’re going through a relationship breakdown, living with the impact of domestic abuse, or trying to make sense of past trauma. Whatever your story looks like, you deserve support that feels safe, steady, and genuinely on your side.
I work in a person centred way, which means I don’t push, judge, or tell you who you should be. Instead, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can breathe, talk, and explore what’s going on at your own pace.

Specializing in supporting individuals navigating the anxiety, sensory overload, and lifestyle impact of chronic vestibular migraines, PPPD, and dizziness.

People come to therapy for different reasons. For some, it’s anxiety, low mood, or feeling caught in patterns that don’t seem to shift. For others, it’s more a sense that something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to explain.
Therapy can offer a space to begin to understand these experiences. I work with many difficulties including anxiety and depression, and self-esteem issues and see therapy as a gradual process where the relationship is central. Together, we can explore what’s going on, understand the roots of difficulties, and begin to find ways of coping that feel more manageable.

On the outside it looks like everything's fine. You appear confident in work, people seek your advice, you've been considered a high achiever for most of your life. But on the inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected. It's hard for you to switch off, you constantly feel guilty for resting, you hate asking for help. You're irritable, losing sleep and although you're functioning everyday, you're surviving more than you are thriving. It feels like no matter what you do, it's never good enough. Your inner critic says to just get on with it, other people have it worse. You're ready for change, you just don't know where to start.

I love working with individuals who feel anxious, overwhelmed or “not like myself.” You may have tried coping tools or therapy that helped briefly but didn’t last. Work, sleep and relationships can feel harder; your mind won’t switch off; panic or numbness shows up out of the blue. I help by slowing everything down, building safety and making sense of what shaped these patterns. We work at the emotional root - not just symptoms - so your system can settle. Over time, clients notice a calmer baseline, clearer boundaries, and more ease and self‑trust in daily life.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
