It affects who you’re drawn to, how you handle difficulty, and why anxiety can rise as closeness grows.
From there, we focus on how this shows up in real life. We look at patterns in your relationships — who you’re drawn to, how you respond when someone gets close, and where things start to feel difficult. Together, we build new ways of relating so closeness feels safer, boundaries feel clearer, and connection can last.

People come to therapy for many reasons, and together we can talk about what you’re going through, and what you’d like more or less of in your life, in a space where you are accepted for who you are.

Adults with stress, anxiety and depression.
Perhaps you are looking for some help with issues of anxiety or depression, which are affecting your day to day life. You might be feeling a bit hopeless, tired and are looking for change. Do you ask yourself: 'is this all there is?' Are you feeling a sense of loss of who you used to be or would like to be and are curious to see if therapy could help? Loss can be central to many of our issues. Loss of identity or from an actual bereavement or loss of purpose in life. Is there a voice inside stopping you from living a fulfilling life and you want to talk to someone, without feeling judged, to help you make sense of your life.

My training has centred trauma, identity, anxiety, acceptance and inclusion.
I work with thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel under pressure or emotionally constrained, despite appearing to cope well. My work is confidential, reflective, and suited to people who want more than surface-level solutions. I also help couples to improve intimacy, create emotional safety and minimise the impact of high-functioning stress, using 'The Gottman Method'. I am accredited by the BACP and The Royal National Institute of Blind People, to work with visually impaired individuals.

Issues I commonly work with are: anxiety, depression, unstable mood, identity, self worth/self criticism, loneliness, isolation, trauma/abuse.
My approach is Person Centered and this means that each person's individuality is prized and I will respond to your unique needs. Understanding your subjective experience will underpin our sessions with the ultimate aim to harness your tendency towards change or growth and the fulfillment of your potential. I seek to build a non-judgmental relationship that is based on openness and allows for mutual exploration of the content that you bring. This process may lead to greater self-understanding, changes in behavior, new ways of coping, and improved wellbeing.

By working with these conditions, I have developed a deeper understanding of the difficulties connected to them, such as different types of anxiety disorders and depression, perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
I see a symptom as a warning signal, a sign that you should adopt a different stance in relation to your life: It is very important to understand the meaning of these signs, so that you can positively transform them into your new personal insight and resource.

Someone to listen to your worries, fears and anxieties and all that you have been keeping inside and hidden for so long.
For me, the collaborative relationship between us is at the heart of the therapy. We work together, yet you are the expert on you. You decide what we discuss. We go at your pace.
We may explore your early attachments and patterns in your life story. We may look at how these impact your relationships and how you communicate (or not) with those you love.

I work with adults and young people (16+) whose sense of self, emotional balance, or relationships have been shaped by difficult or traumatic relational experiences. This may include the effects of emotionally harmful relationships, including those involving narcissistic patterns. Many clients come seeking understanding, stability, and a way to move forward. Often, confusion about what happened, unhelpful beliefs, and unprocessed memories stand in the way of clarity, peace, and self-compassion. I support clients in understanding these obstacles so that greater clarity and lightness can emerge.

The seeds of worry can be sown in a myriad of ways but nearly always ends up with the young person internalising their problems, which then manifest in increasingly problematic ways such as OCD, Tics, Self-Harming, and body image issues.
My approach to child and adolescent anxiety therapy is first to create an environment in which they feel happy to engage in the process in a meaningful way. Anxiety must be broken down into two key areas, the physical symptoms and the psychological ones. . Training young people to master their minds is a powerful tool with long term benefits.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
