There are many reasons to look for a therapist, ranging from a crisis now to a general feeling of unhappiness, stemming from your past. Life throws up many events and difficulties and we aren't always able to solve these on our own. Anxieties, stress, feeling sad, isolation, as well as relationships, families, parenting, marriage, divorce, addictions, bereavement and loss are issues that we will all face at some point in our lives. They can leave us feeling confused and lost and without anyone to help us make sense of it. Therapy is safe, secure & non judgemental providing understanding, insight leading to change for you.

As an IFS therapist and Dramatherpist my practice is underpinned by a passion for creativity and my experience in performing arts. When things feel like they are falling apart, they might actually be falling into place, but it still feels like falling. Sharing your emotional pain by seeking support is empowering. I nurture an embodied experience - the idea that you are stepping into yourself and tapping into your inner resources. My work is fundamentally shame reducing, I aim to cultivate self-compassion. I encourage practicing letting go of what is out of our control and fostering courage to put in action for what is.

Stuck, confused, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Struggling with a relationship, bereavement, job loss, parenthood, or parents? Perhaps you don’t know your exact problem, only that something isn’t right. My role is to help clients explore their issues, gain insight, clarity and understanding, then support them as they move towards change. Working together, we explore where they are now, how they got there, where they’d prefer to be, and how they might do things differently.

I am a person-centred therapist who primarily works with people who are members of ENM, kink and LGBTQ+ communities. Each of these aspects of our identities are so multifaceted that it can feel overwhelming sometimes. I want to work with you to help you understand yourself, your needs and how to move towards that. Allowing ourselves to let go of who we were, embrace who we are and get out of old thinking patterns can be a lifelong mission, one that is much easier with support. I can work with you as you explore yourself. My practice is based on compassion and honesty, and collaboration is incredibly important to me.

You might be someone who, on the surface, seems to be coping well, but inside things feel difficult. Perhaps you find yourself going over the same ground in relationships, at work, or in how you feel about yourself, without quite understanding why. You may be living with anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt. Often, people come to therapy when familiar ways of managing no longer work, or when something brings things to the surface. I offer a thoughtful, reflective space to understand these experiences more deeply. Together, we make sense of patterns so you can feel less stuck and more able to move forward with clarity and choice.

Root-cause therapy for anxiety, burnout, trauma, difficult attachment/relationship patterns, eating and personality disorders. You’re emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-critical loops, self-sabotaging, or navigating persistent anxiety, mood swings, trauma, eating or relational struggles that repeat no matter how hard you try. You may have tried therapy before, but it didn’t quite reach the deeper layers. I offer Schema Therapy — a powerful, compassionate model to heal longstanding emotional patterns. I blend Schema Therapy with CBT, ACT, CFT and mindfulness across lifespan. Together, we find lasting change, not just quick fixes.
