People often come to me when life feels overwhelming, stuck, or harder to manage. You might be feeling anxious, exhausted, low, tearful, on edge, numb, or in emotional or physical pain, or just coping day to day. Perhaps you’re overthinking, not sleeping well, burnt out, grieving, or noticing repeated patterns in relationships, work, or life changes. I offer a calm, confidential space either in person just outside Bowness-on-Windermere, within 5 miles, in a peaceful Lake District countryside setting or online.

Are you exhausted from holding it all together? On the outside everything may look fine/work, routine, the people around you, but inside there's anxiety, low mood, grief, or a quiet sense that something isn't right. Maybe you're stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, or carrying something you've never really put into words. You don't have to keep going alone. I'm a BACP Accredited psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in Central London, working in English and Spanish. Together we'll slow things down, understand what's really happening, and find a way forward. Free 15-minute consultation - no pressure.

I am here to support your healing process. Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step. I have found that common themes clients bring to therapy include: Feelings of shame and a lack of worthiness; being very self-critical; Feeling rejected, hurt, and alone; Stuck in relationships that are not fulfilling; Feeling that your life lacks purpose; Traumatic experiences that feel like they define you. Do any of these sound familiar? Would it help to have a space to work through these issues, to let go, and to feel greater freedom in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then we can work together to make a difference.
