Waitlist for new clients
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related symptoms.
I am a warm and approachable therapist with an openness to understanding from your perspective what you are struggling with as well as tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs. My aim is to meet you right where you are and we will spend time in the initial sessions making sense of what you're currently experiencing, what may be maintaining these difficulties and where you want to get to in therapy. I tend to use an integrative approach to therapy drawing on my varied experience and what we feel might best support you to move forwards. I have a special interest in somatic body-based interventions.

I offer a confidential, respectful, safe space to create an empowering therapeutic relationship where you can explore, question, challenge & break free from self-imposed constraints & beliefs such as fear, lack of self-confidence & anxiety to find the authentic you.
Although I work with people from across all parts of society, my speciality is with the LGBTQIA+ community, which includes trans, non-binary, & gender non-conforming people & those adjacent such as partners, friends & families. As a queer therapist I am non-judgemental & committed to providing an inclusive, safe, confidential, welcoming space.

Hello, are you looking for change in your life, feeling stuck or struggling with low self-esteem? You’ve taken the first step towards change by reaching out for help and support. It can feel hard finding time for yourself, to understand how you really feel. Are you feeling like you’ve tried to connect with others and felt misunderstood, different or rejected? Together we can work on finding ways for you to feel braver to be who you are, not who you feel you should be.

I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, career issues and relationships.
I'm versatile and responsive and I'll work in a way that's beneficial to you. Sometimes it's enough to hear yourself out loud, to feel witnessed and understood. I also offer challenge, observation and psycho-education. I may suggest activities to complete at home. I integrate emotional exploration alongside a practical, solution-focussed approach.

I hold additional certification in ADHD and neurodiverse training, grief and loss, mother daughter relationships, narcissism, eating disorders, anxiety and PTSD.
Having experienced at first hand the hugely positive impact counselling has had on my own life, I chose to train as a psychodynamic therapist to help others experience the same profound benefits. I now use an integrative approach, which has enriched my work with clients. Working with you, we will together examine and uncover often unconscious or repressed memories which in turn can drive unhelpful patterns of behaviour. We will explore the sources of your problems and aim to deal with the underlying issues, not just try to find a way to cope with them. Only by making peace with the past can you look forward to a happy future.

My transdiagnostic approach using REBT enables me to teach clients how to restructure their thinking related to their behaviours and emotions, whether that be unhealthy anger, anxiety, depression or jealousy, to name a few.
What my clients most commonly seek is guidance to help them understand their own emotions, responses and rules that they hold about life. My clients are not dictated to, but supported in learning about what is helpful and rational in their lives, and what is targeted for change. Our honest talks involve a lot of empathy and humour, as there are common themes that we all recognise as causing issues in our lives. My clients are very much individuals, spoken to without judgement and encouraged to make changes to their thinking and then behaviour which will help free them from well-worn paths and being 'stuck'.
