I can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and depression by working on emotional regulation through both talking to work out why you are feeling the way you are and through practical techniques.
I am trained in an integrative way, meaning I can work with you using whichever therapy method feels best. Imagine 50 minutes a week of 'you' time in a safe, calm space. We can work on anything from past trauma, to practising relaxation techniques and staying in the present moment to reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

They might involve me offering a new perspective, asking thought-provoking questions, or agreeing tasks for you to do between appointments. They could focus on exploring your experiences to find what is outside of your awareness or working out ways for you to deal with situations differently.

Are you struggling with everyday life at the moment, or are you not feeling yourself? Do you have lots of thoughts going round your head and you don’t know what to do about them? Taking some time out to talk to an experienced therapist can really help. Together we can explore your feelings and worries, better understand where they come from and also figure out what changes you could make to help you feel happier. I aim to listen and be truly alongside you throughout the sessions as you talk about anything that you want to bring – be it experiences from the past, things that are happening now, or concerns for the future.

Clients describe me as warm, insightful, and even funny! I believe humour can be a powerful tool in therapy, creating space for deeper connection and growth while lightening the load. I specialize in working with adults, with a particular passion for supporting women who feel stuck, lost, or yearning for more—for themselves and their families.

I am a very experienced Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor who specialises in Anxiety, Depression, Sexual Issues, Relationship Problems and work related stress.
You may be in crisis, or perhaps a culmination of patterns is causing you anxiety or stress. The repetitive cycle of arguments can make you feel despairing of change or movement forward. The sensitive subject of sex can be particularly tricky to navigate and as a result we avoid it at all costs. Therapy can open up stuck situations offering resolution.
