If you want to stop suffering and letting control go. If it looks like you’re coping. Because you show up, achieve, keep going.. Yet inside, you feel empty, disconnected, overwhelmed, exhausted..Perhaps you’ve survived by staying in control, pushing feelings down, avoiding what feels too much — afraid that if you truly let yourself feel, everything will unravel. Over time, the pressure builds: holding it in until it spills out, then guilt, shame, self-criticism. You don’t have to carry it alone. You deserve to be accompanied and supported. Living life with joy and less pressure, you deserve a life more open, grounded and peaceful

I accept client from BUPA and AXA
Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you imagined? Sometimes, life events such as separation, trauma, or loss can leave us feeling stuck. Even without a clear crisis, the weight of routine or unresolved experiences from the past can quietly shape the present, making it hard to move forward. If you're finding it difficult to navigate day-to-day life or want to reconnect with a sense of purpose, counselling can offer a space to reflect, process, and begin to shift. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, supporting you to explore what’s holding you back and what might help you move forward.

Relationships can be tough and bring challenges that make you feel lonely, isolated with no-one to turn to. You may be grieving the loss of someone you loved, managing the expectations of others, constantly arguing with your spouse or adapting to a new change in your life. These problems can leave you anxious, down and without the confidence you once had. As a therapist qualified in CBT and Interpersonal Therapy, I take great pride in my job and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

I'm registered with major insurers like BUPA and AXA.
If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that don’t shift, therapy can help you understand and change what isn’t working. Dual-accredited psychotherapist, online and in person in Guildford. People often come to therapy when something in their emotional life or relationships feels hard to manage. You might feel overwhelmed or reactive, stuck in patterns that don’t shift, struggling with self-criticism, or finding that anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties keep returning despite effort or insight. Many people I work with are functioning well on the outside but struggling internally, or unsure where to begin.

I’m a CBT and EMDR trauma-informed therapist with 20 years of experience across the NHS and private practice. I work privately with adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and the deeper patterns that don’t always shift with standard approaches alone. I have a particular focus on late-diagnosed adults and women with ADHD, where presentations are often tangled up with anxiety, burnout, emotional dysregulation, and long-standing relational patterns. I use schema-focused approaches alongside CBT and EMDR to work at a deeper level; not just managing symptoms, but understanding where they come from.
