As a Counsellor and Coach (MBACP), I work with clients to explore present and past experiences and feelings. Sessions together provide a non-judgental, supportive space, where you can to explore what is going on for you. My aim is to foster a positive and honest therapeutic relationship, allowing us to work together to cultivate awareness of patterns and identify a positive way forward. Whether you are experiencing family or relationship issues, bereavement or loss, or stress at home or work, counselling is an effective way of dealing with personal problems, as well as supporting well-being.

I use a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Dialectircal Behaviour Therapy (DBT), systemic family approaches, Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).
Starting therapy can be a big step, and it’s normal to feel nervous or unsure about what to expect. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where we can take things at a pace that feels right for you. During our sessions, we’ll explore what’s happening for you, and i’ll listen to understand your experiences. Collaboration is key in my approach- I believe in working side by side so that you feel empowered and an active part of our journey together.

In a therapeutic relationship we need to feel safe, where there is trust and unconditional acceptance, to allow us to explore difficult and challenging experiences.
Often it is very difficult to talk about our deepest darkest fears to our friends or family, fearing their reactions, worried about that will pass on their own assumptions or judgements. There is an overwhelming feeling of needing to be heard by another, I can help you feel that.

By combining elements of hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and practical ACT and CBT strategies, our sessions are designed to foster growth, resilience, and overall well-being.
A lot of the people I work with look like they’re coping. They’re reliable, capable, often the person everyone else leans on. But internally, they’re exhausted in a way they can’t quite justify to themselves. They're tired, battling insomnia, feeling stuck, anxious or stressed. I help millennials (corporates & entrepreneurs) worry less and sleep better, so that they have enough energy to perform at their best, without guilt or overwhelm. Working together, they start to feel more energised, confident, focused to drive their careers, and feeling in control. They wake up rested and refreshed so they can enjoy life more fully.

Positive outcomes in therapy are largely shaped by the quality of the therapist–client relationship.

I offer an individualised understanding of you, and together we set meaningful goals to work toward. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including traditional talking psychotherapy, and body-mind focused nervous system regulation.

Talking to a trained listener and counselor can be the key to overcoming anxiety, depression, bereavement, uncertainty in work or relationships or sorting your direction in life. As a trained psychologist and business person with 40 years experience I can provide an informed point of view on the challenges you face and help you see things from a fresh perspective. I don't believe in just asking open ended questions and being a passive listener.

Sometimes we reach a point in life where we struggle to see clearly and we even become uncertain about the future and even begin to question our relationships. For some of us, its unhealthy patterns and cycles that we keep on repeating, and find difficult to break free from. Our unresolved childhood trauma's can present in our day to day adult lives, showing up as strong depressive feelings, overwhelming anxiety, or a fragmented sense of self, leaving us feeling trapped and hopeless. Whatever the issues are that you are facing, change is certainly possible!

I am a chartered counselling psychologist. Within my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space that is non-judgemental, compassionate and warm. You may be exploring gender or sexuality, navigating non-monogamous relationships, or making sense of life as an autistic person or someone with ADHD, or other neurodiversity. Many clients come to me after feeling misunderstood or having to explain their identity or relationship style elsewhere. I offer an affirming, non-judgemental space where your experiences are taken seriously and where we can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.

I help clients build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change through evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT.
My ideal client feels stuck between where they are and where they want to be. They may be coping with anxiety, low mood, burnout, or relationship challenges, often feeling disconnected or self-critical despite being self-aware. Their goal is to feel grounded, confident, and authentic. They want to respond to life’s challenges with clarity and self-compassion. They want to understand themselves more deeply, build habits that align with their values, and live with greater balance, purpose, and emotional resilience in a supportive, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic space where growth feels possible.

Many of the people I work with seek therapy because they’re feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, even while appearing to cope well on the surface. They’re often thoughtful, capable adults navigating burnout, perfectionism, low self-confidence, or relationship difficulties. Some come to therapy after a recent diagnosis such as ADHD, while others are simply recognising long-standing struggles with anxiety or emotional regulation. These are just a few of the issues I work with, though many clients experience a mix of challenges. We will focus on what feels meaningful for you to address.
