I specialise in stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, PTSD, panic, OCD, bereavement, long term health conditions, relationship difficulties. Are you feeling stuck, down, lonely, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? You may be struggling to cope with a busy job/lifestyle, health issues, family, loss of a loved one, or difficulties in relationships. My clients often feel not good enough, alone, or are failing in life. I help my clients feel happier, calmer, less anxious, more confident, and able to sleep better. They are better able to cope with life stresses, health issues, and create harmonious relationships.

I am also a recognised provider through Aviva, Axa, Vitality and WPA.
I wonder what brings you here today? Maybe you are at quarter or midlife and desire change or meaning. Is the pressure and strain of 'doing it on your own' or 'holding it all in' is getting too much? Perhaps your relationships keep following the same painful scripts- maybe another pair of eyes and compassionate presence will help? Compulsions or addictions might offer short term relief but long term shame and anxiety- you might yearn to bring them into honest and caring dialogue? An accredited UKCP Psychotherapist, informed by Relational Psychoanalysis, Jungian Psychology and Attachment Theory but holding these lightly.

At some point in our lives we all need additional support to deal with personal issues and problems that affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Starting counselling can be difficult, however it is the first step to the support and guidance you need. As a client centered therapist I work on the concept that every client is an individual. I will work with you to improve the way you are thinking and feeling.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying things that others can’t see. You might feel stuck, anxious, burnt out, or unsure why you’re not coping. You may also feel misaligned or uncertain about what comes next. I don’t offer quick fixes or advice, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for counselling or coaching, to explore what’s going on at your pace. For trauma or distressing events, I use gentle approaches like the Rewind Technique, which can help you process difficult memories without having to relive them in detail. Sometimes, having someone who really listens is the first step.

Many of the people I work with are managing well on the outside, holding down jobs, caring for others, keeping things together. But underneath, they're anxious, hard on themselves, and often feel low, numb, or unable to enjoy things in the way they used to. Therapy offers a space to understand what has shaped your experience and how you might respond to life differently. I don't offer a fixed programme, rather I work with you as an individual and adjust my approach depending on what you bring.

When we first meet, my aim is to create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where we can get to know each other at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll explore what has brought you here and think about what might be most helpful for you in moving forward. If you feel we are a good fit to work together, we’ll also discuss what you can expect from me and how our sessions might look.

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.
