Have you been through something traumatic and never had the chance to process what has happened? Are your early life experiences impacting your life, making it hard to live the life you want to? In my 13 years working in mental health, as a Chartered Counselling Psychologist in the NHS and private practice, I have seen the profound impact that your past experiences can have on your current life. I became a specialist in treating adverse life experiences (trauma) and I have found through offering evidence based trauma therapy that people can process their past experiences and begin to live the life they want and deserve.

Many of the people I work with are high‑functioning adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma or identity pressures. They often feel overwhelmed, pulled between responsibilities and their own needs, or caught in patterns shaped by family, culture or past experiences. They’re thoughtful, resilient and aware that something deeper needs attention. Therapy supports them to feel more grounded, break old cycles, improve relationships and reconnect with a clearer sense of self.

I am a recognised clinician for the following private healthcare providers: WPA, Cigna, Aviva, BUPA Global, BUPA, AXA, Vitality, Allianz, Aetna, Blue Cross, and Healix.
I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping. With 20 years’ experience in mental health and specialist post-qualification training, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy (CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR) to target underlying patterns and help you move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and lasting change.

I am an approved healthcare provider for AXA/ WPA/AVIVA .
My practice primarily serves adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed by a wide range of mental health challenges, though I specialize deeply in helping people navigate trauma. Often, clients come to me because they are living with the constant high alert of PTSD or complex trauma (cPTSD) - frequently stemming from childhood experiences. They might be struggling with intrusive memories, severe anxiety, or a feeling of disconnect from daily life. I work collaboratively with individuals to break these exhausting cycles, providing a clear, grounded path to help them safely process what happened and move forward with their lives.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.

Sometimes life can present difficult challenges. When that happens it's easy to feel confused, lonely, stuck and perhaps even judged. I can help you by providing a space for realisation, processing trauma and finding greater inner peace and freedom to live the life you wish for. I believe that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Having self compassion and being at peace with one’s self can be difficult to practice. I want to bring you hope and support you in becoming your own best friend.

If you find yourself struggling to cope or make sense of an emotional difficulty please give me a call to discuss how I might best support you. It can sometimes be hard to reach out for help but I often find once the initial contact has been made clients often comment they wish they had acted sooner.

Seeking psychological support can be a daunting task. That search for support is often undertaken when something has happened and we feel overwhelmed. Sometimes difficult memories or experiences become more troubling. Sometimes life feels tougher than we expect it to be. For me, therapy is a space that has to feel safe, supportive and helpful. It has to focus on things that are important for you. That should be supported by a professional who is flexible in what can best help you, right now.
