Often anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Perhaps you experience intrusive anxious thoughts or that inner critic is just too loud and holds you back. Or perhaps past trauma feels all too present and you are still dictates how your mind and body react today. Maybe you keep repeating the same unhelpful behaviour again and again. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives may be too difficult. I provide a safe, respectful space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

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.

What you are doing is no longer working. We often adapt and accommodate others over our own needs and wellbeing. By allowing space to offload, process and focus on the root matter, we can make some lasting and meaningful changes. My goal is to help you identify the real problem, rather than jump into solutions, so that changes can come about more smoothly and are sustainable. After laying out the landscape in the first session or two, I invite you to explore various contributing factors at your own pace. I ask questions and won’t leave you hanging.

I work in a collaborative way with clients who present with unaddressed trauma, relational problems, anxiety, depression, low mood and a feeling of hopelessness. I have a special interest in trauma, attachment issues and addiction. Many of my clients identify with feeling stuck in their current situation or wanting to be more self aware and connected with themselves. Identifying their mind-body connection enables the client to recognise triggers and self-regulate rather than rely upon external resources or behaviours.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for others, while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, or the impact of past experiences You don’t have to navigate this alone. I work with people who have experienced trauma in many forms—whether from childhood, relationships, family issues, work, or life events that left a lasting impact. Often, this trauma shows up in the present as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, low self-worth, or feeling “stuck.”
