Anxiety & Depression: general low mood, panic, and worry.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or that your relationships aren't working out? I help others uncover the hidden patterns that shape their lives. I practice from two locations. Specialising in identity, trauma, and relationship struggles, I help you understand the 'why' behind your feelings to create lasting, meaningful change. I'm a MSc-qualified psychodynamic therapist with experience across the NHS and university sectors. My work is rooted in the belief that our past experiences and unconscious mind profoundly influence how we navigate the world

Some of the issues I work with include:- depression, anxiety, stress, loss and bereavement, university life and homesickness, low self-confidence, worth and esteem.
Central to the process is the therapeutic relationship – based upon authenticity, empathy and respect. Grounded in a person-centred tradition. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means that I draw from different theoretical approaches in order to meet the needs of each individual client in a unique and personal way.

You may be used to coping and carrying responsibility, yet privately feeling anxious, low, irritable or disconnected.
My approach is person-centred and informed by Transactional Analysis and Gestalt. I offer a steady, collaborative space where we explore the roots of distress, recognise repeating patterns and develop more effective ways of responding. The work is careful and grounded, focused on building lasting clarity, resilience and emotional balance.

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.

Part of us might long for more intimacy and another Part of us may also fear it.
The NARM approach supports gentle expansion of consciousness and emotional stability. I facilitate the processing of past and present experience so you to can feel more self-trust and trust in others. Our 'relationship blue prints' restrict us - until we process experience (pre-memory and pre-verbal), in the present, and gain embodied soothing and insight.

I can help you reprocess trauma and move on from distressing anxiety and depression.
I'm an EMDR Consultant and I offer an initial session where we can discuss your problems, your goals and work out a treatment plan. In EMDR we target specific traumatic experiences and symptoms. A large body of research has found that working at a subcortical level, using EMDR, effectively reprocesses experiences that are stuck in your body and your nervous system. After EMDR you are likely to feel much less dys-regulated.

You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, or not sure where to begin — and that’s completely okay.
As your awareness grows, old patterns may lose their hold, and you’ll start to feel more grounded, resilient, and able to meet your own needs. We’ll explore which stories you might want to release, which new ones you want to nurture, and how you can develop more stable, supportive ways of relating to yourself and others. My role is to be there alongside you.
