I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma related to their relationships and family.
As your counsellor I will give you the time, space and environment to strive towards self understanding and growth. Life can feel overwhelming and isolating when enduring challenging times, so coming to therapy can provide you with a safe space, to process and understand your inner emotions and feelings. Therapy with me will support you to enhance self awareness, understanding and authenticity. Counselling is about making yourself a priority. The gym is for a healthy body and therapy is for a healthy mind. Please note- My services are for age 16+.

I offer a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore what’s going on in your life — whether that’s anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, or something you’re not quite sure how to name yet.
I’m a qualified therapeutic counsellor, BACP member, and trauma-informed practitioner. My nursing and midwifery background shapes my caring, grounded style. I’ve supported people through pregnancy, loss, relationship changes, and crises. During the pandemic, I worked for Cruse, supporting many to navigate their grief.

I specialise in working with trauma, anxiety, perfectionism and neurodivergence
Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, which may leave you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. You are not alone and you do matter. You deserve freedom and peace from your past experiences.
