One thing I always say to my clients is that my ultimate goal is to 'make you your own therapist so you don't need me anymore'. I believe my role is to help you: Understand the problem and what is keeping it going. Identify goals for yourself both short term and long term to help give you focus. Learn strategies and techniques that can help you cope better, overcome and make positive changes. Be able to maintain your progress after therapy and reduce the chances or impacts of setbacks in the future. Become more resilient, understanding of good mental heath awareness which could have a positive impact on your relationships.

As an experienced Integrative and Relational Psychotherapist I support people who feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures. Often sat in positions of responsibility, many of my clients appear composed on the outside while managing patterns like people‑pleasing, overthinking/anxieties, or fear of letting others down under the surface. Maybe you are are facing a new situation that you are unsure how to navigate & need a safe space to process what it brings. I offer a space to work together as we untangle the patterns shaped by past experiences so that you can move forward with clarity, acceptance & authenticity in the current challenges.

Have you ever felt that sinking feeling that nothing you do is good enough? You try hard to do everything perfectly, to keep everyone around you happy? To never say no. At first, it works! No one is mad at you! You might even achieve your goals and receive praise. It feels great! But over time it becomes an exhausting treadmill that you can’t get off. And if you make a mistake, or hit burnout? It feels like a disaster. And the nagging fear of failure never leaves. Maybe you’ve grown up neurodivergent, in a world where your way of being doesn’t seem to work. So you’ve masked and overcompensated until you simply can’t anymore.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I provide psychological therapy for adults facing challenges with emotional difficulties such as anxiety, grief, trauma related issues and low mood. We all experience low mood and anxiety at times in our lives. Sometimes this can feel difficult to manage and psychological therapy can help. An area of specialism is Clinical Health Psychology, helping people whose psychological difficulties relate to dealing with physical illness such as cancer. Some people I work with have a history of difficult experiences in childhood or traumatic experiences at any stage in life.
