I have particular experience working with issues of identity (including neurodiversity, queerness, class, and values), self-harm and suicide, anxiety, depression, loss, as well as exploring different ways to live and be ourselves.
I provide a space to be seen and heard, somewhere for you to bring your issues, from day-to-day to life-spanning, where we would then work through them together, at your own pace, with openness, understanding, and warmth. I integrate different therapeutic models and hold your autonomy at the core of our work, so we will together create a unique therapeutic experience for you. I offer a calm, inclusive space and we'll each bring our life experiences, and expertise, and together we'll work towards your aims for therapy.

I work with adults who feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in life. Many clients come to me experiencing burnout, low self-esteem, overthinking, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Some are navigating ADHD/autistic traits (diagnosed or not), while others simply feel life has become heavy or difficult to manage. People often seek therapy when they feel they are “coping” on the outside but struggling internally, unsure how to move forward or break out of repeated patterns. In our work together, we slow things down, explore what’s underneath these experiences, and begin to understand what’s keeping things

You might look as though you are coping well on the outside, yet privately feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Perhaps you overthink conversations long after they have ended, question whether you are too much or not enough, or find yourself working hard to keep others happy while neglecting your own needs. You may appear capable and successful, yet struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or misunderstood. Together, we can begin to understand how these relationship patterns originally formed and how you can start to respond differently.

You are the expert on yourself and your life. Making the first step is often the hardest, when emotions become too overwhelming for you to cope with alone and you feel you are unable to share them with people who you are closest to. This is where I can help and this is what I can offer you. I'm a qualified Counsellor and registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Everyone has their struggles from time to time, and what took me down the path of becoming a counsellor was my desire to help those in need, overcome their own personal obstacles. I can offer you a safe confidential non-judgemental

Some come following a significant life event, while others have been carrying difficult experiences for many years. I offer a warm, calm and compassionate space where you can feel heard without judgement. While I welcome adults from all backgrounds, I have a particular interest in supporting new parents, individuals experiencing anxiety, and South Asian clients navigating identity, family dynamics and cultural expectations.

Ok! Is it time to do something about how you have been feeling? It could be that you have been struggling with your negative thoughts, work stress, health challenges, difficulties in your relationships, increased anxiety, low mood, or all of the above and then some. That is the first step, recognising that you can do something different right now to change the way you feel. You may or may not have sought support in the past but that was then, and this is now. It is never too late to put yourself first and prioritise what you need.

I offer a safe, judgment-free space for people to explore whatever difficult experiences they may be going through. With over 10 years of experience as a counsellor, I have learned that counselling works best when the person feels that they can say the unsayable. My professional experience has taught when it works well counselling provides a way for a person to understand themselves and their situation better, and through that equip them to make clearer decisions and embrace change. I can offer sessions in person, online, or via telephone.

Many of the emotional hurdles, relationship struggles, and persistent blocks we experience in the present are deeply connected to unseen dynamics and past experiences we have not yet fully unpacked. When we find ourselves stuck in repetitive cycles despite our best efforts to change, it is often a sign that something beneath the surface requires our attention. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I provide a space designed to explore these root causes.

Are you overwhelmed with events, feelings or relationships? Have you reached the point where you just need some support? You might be struggling with your past, with relationships, a bereavement or feeling a pressure to be something you're not. Many of my clients have had early life experiences that are really difficult to bear, contributing to anxiety, depression or both. They are coping, and surviving, but maybe in ways that they don't want to do any more.

In this fast moving, ever-changing and demanding world it can feel difficult to keep your head above water. No matter how hard you try you don't seem to be able to stay afloat. It's hard to know what to do, where to go or who to turn to during these times, and are often left feeling lost and alone. You may even understand whats troubling you but are no closer to a resolve and if anything it just makes it all more challenging. Therapy is a space in which you can explore all of these things safely and with compassionate support to help you find peace and bring some balance to your life.
