I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

My clients are adults and teens who want to understand themselves more deeply. You might be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or burnt out, struggling in relationships or at work, or carrying the impact of difficult past experiences. Some are exploring possible neurodivergence or adjusting to an ADHD or autism diagnosis. Together we slow things down, make sense of patterns in your life, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others so you can move forward with more clarity and choice.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, sports person or busy executive there are some common themes that resonate with my clients: Finding it hard to make decisions - fear of getting it wrong and constantly worrying/Being less tolerant, irritable over things that wouldn't normally bother you/Needing to do everything perfectly and setting high unrealistic expectations resulting in procrastination/Never feeling you have done enough/A very critical internal voice - Exhausting! Most of my clients want to quieten that negative voice and find ways to achieve and live life without the gnawing anxiety and self-doubt

I offer you a safe place to explore your emotions and the issues that trouble you and will work with you to find solutions which will improve your life. Therapy with me is about preparing to make changes. I will help you release the thoughts that trouble you, your fears and despair and help you contain those most intense feelings so we can look deeper into the reasons why you are not functioning as you would like to. We can't always change the way those around us behave, but we can change our attitude to life and to others.

I help people who feel stuck to move forward, so they can have a better life. Has that thing you turn to for brief relief just trapped you again in guilt and regret? Or perhaps you’ve just had the same argument in another form - you want closeness but find yourself caught in patterns that seem to push it away, locking you in a cycle of distance and blame. You want things to be different, yet somehow end up in the same painful place - repeating patterns that leave you frustrated, ashamed or alone. I can help you make sense of what keeps pulling you back - so you can feel steadier and more in charge of your life.

Using the Human Givens approach and the Rewind Technique, I help you gently process what’s happened, reduce symptoms quickly, and rebuild emotional stability.
You might be someone who feels stuck, held back by a past event, a difficult period in your life, or patterns you can’t seem to shift. Maybe anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive memories, or emotional shutdowns are getting in the way of how you want to live. Perhaps you’re exhausted from holding it all together or frustrated that you “should be over this by now.” What you want is to feel like yourself again: steady, safe, and able to move forward without the past continuing to pull you back.

The Human Givens approach uses the latest information from neuro-scientists on how the brain works; recent findings from psychologists and knowledge of which therapeutic interventions work effectively.
If you are coping with high levels of anxiety or depression, if past traumatic experiences are interfering in your ability to manage the present and sleep is problematic then this can change. By understanding what is happening in your system (mind and body), using your natural resources well and having some new tools to use, you can get back into balance, to the you that is resilient, able to focus and live to your potential.
