You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or like you’re no longer yourself. On the outside, life may look perfectly fine — but inside, you’re struggling, overthinking everything, or constantly battling self-doubt. Maybe anxiety and worry are stopping you from doing the things you want to do. Perhaps you’re tired of feeling “not good enough” and wish for a space where you can be honest, listened to, and supported. You might want to quiet the negative thoughts about yourself, to move through your day without anxiety holding you back, or simply to relax and enjoy your time without that constant mental noise.

Feeling down lately and nothing seems to lift your spirits? Perhaps your anxiety, worrying and over-thinking is stopping you from moving forward? - Maybe you're overwhelmed by negative thoughts or intense emotions. Are your panic attacks preventing you from going to certain places or doing certain activities? Are you plagued by intrusive & distressing thoughts? Any, or all, of the above could be making you feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead?

I believe that it is never too early or too late to bring about transformation in one’s life. My work aims at building together a bridge between the experiences that have shaped who you are today and who you are today, what you feel and think, the way you portray and relate to yourself and the world. Your experience of being alive in the moment will be our gateway to finding a way to a more fulfilling life, whatever that means to you. This work can be done at any stage of life. I work with adults (18+) and have a keen interest in working with older adults including people with dementia and their loved ones.

You have already made a brave and important step on the journey to well-being and self-discovery, by enquiring about having therapy. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about helping people to realise the values, knowledge, and skills that they already hold, and how the awareness of this can enable them to live full, vibrant and satisfying lives. I believe that it is important to learn skills to help people cope with the present and the future, as well as making sense of past experiences to understand patterns that are happening in your life currently.

Essentially, counselling and psychotherapy offers us an opportunity to learn about ourselves. And none more so than when faced with the emotional challenges that are often part of everyday life. At these times we may feel on our own, stuck and unsure of which way to turn. It may also be difficult to find someone we can trust and who will understand, or, in such a busy world, someone who has the time to listen. This is when a counsellor or a psychotherapist can help. I offer a calm, caring, safe, respectful and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Do you feel anxious, low, angry, disconnected with the world, stuck, depressed and not sure where to turn? Maybe you are experiencing problems with your relationship, your job or your family, maybe you are feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with life in general.

If so, you are not alone, perhaps it is time for you to take control of your life. Our integrative therapeutic approach can help you get better.

Clients who see me come for solutions to problems, not drawn out therapy or coaching. My aim is to help you in a minimal amount of time, for an affordable price that beats out most psychologists and coaches.

Many people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, angry, or emotionally disconnected. What is wrong is not always clear — just a sense that something isn’t working. Often, there’s a wish to understand oneself more fully. My practice is driven by curiosity, and a desire for reflection and an exploration of emotions and meaning. Over time, this process can lead to a greater sense of clarity, connection, and confidence grounded in acceptance.

Life is difficult. Do more, be more. Be what others want. I offer a space where we examine where you are in life, what's brought you here, what it's like being you and you in relation to others, and how you're contributing to where you're at. How will we do this? Through our relationship, where I'll offer support, care, empathy and challenge to help you examine life.

Whether you are experiencing serious psychological or emotional difficulties, encountering unique challenges in your life, or just want to deepen your self-exploration, "the talking cure" is a way of easing suffering and engendering personal growth. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I provide a space of deep listening and reflection. An integrative approach means that as a therapist I respond to your unique needs, rather than applying a model of treatment onto you. The frequency and duration of therapy varies depending on your needs and desires. Please see my website to read more about my background and clinical approach.
