Everyone has struggled with issues at some time or another. Some have found resolution alone through self-reflection, meditation or a spiritual retreat, and others by sharing problems with a sympathetic listener. Therapy is the process of understanding and becoming understood. It works to connect conscious thoughts with unconscious triggers to resolve conflicts, lift spirits and heal pain. If you find yourself repeating patterns that stop you from living well, together we can look for the source, make sense of the compulsion and recondition the thinking that kept you trapped in a vicious cycle.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside those who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain. Many carry quiet burdens of grief, trauma, or the feeling of not being good enough. I offer a space where your inner world can be gently held and explored, without pressure or judgment. My purpose is to help you reconnect with your strength, soften the pain, and move toward a life that feels more whole, rooted, and truly your own.

I work with challenges that may arise for parents at different stages, including fertility issues and baby loss, gender disappointment, fear of birth, birth trauma, intrusive thoughts, antenatal and postnatal anxiety and depression, difficulty bonding. I support parents to adjust whether it is their first child or they are juggling a growing family. I believe that people are always trying their best to cope, but sometimes these ways of coping stop working as well or become problems themselves. I know how much pressure there is to be ‘perfect’ parents and how much strain that can cause.

You may feel overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. Perhaps you’ve carried trauma, addiction, people-pleasing, or emotional numbness for years and now something in you wants change. You’re exhausted from being strong, tired of doing everything alone, and longing for clarity, confidence, and inner stability. You want to understand yourself, heal old patterns, regulate your emotions, and finally feel like you’re living your own life, not surviving it. You’re ready for support that is grounded, supportive, and transformative.

It's normal to need support with our mental health and wellbeing. Sometimes we need help to feel more at ease in a specific area of our lives, or perhaps to explore why we feel the way we do. Whatever your hopes are for therapy, I strive to create a safe and supportive space tailored for you. I am a Clinical Psychologist, which means I am trained to support people with different hopes, needs, and difficulties, by using a wide range of therapies. I work by first understanding more about you and what has brought you to therapy, before agreeing on a therapeutic approach which will best suit your individual needs.

How do I work? I provide an open, non-judgemental space for you, either as an individual or as a couple, to explore and make sense of your issues, to help you move forward in life to the place you want to be. There are roughly three stages: Stage 1: Explore the problem in an empathetic, non-judgemental environment. Stage 2: Clarify the key patterns and themes and make sense of some of the contradictions; put it all into context and gain insight into yourself and your life, and how and why the same problems keep coming up. Stage 3: Use this insight to start moving towards a richer, more pleasurable life.

Making the decision to start therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. As a HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where we can explore your emotions and experiences together. My approach focuses on understanding the 'here and now' while uncovering how childhood experiences may influence these current challenges. By making sense of these connections, we can identify new ways of thinking, behaving, and creating positive lasting changes.

I’m a UKCP-Registered Neurodiverse Psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis which has its roots in Psychodynamic and Humanistic psychotherapy, and share similarities with Schema therapy. Transactional Analysis (TA) examines an individual's personality and how this has been shaped by experiences. This means I’m able to help clients understand the root of their issues and therefore make lasting changes.

For me, therapy works best when it feels like a real human relationship – professional, boundaried, & psychologically informed, but also warm & collaborative. My first priority is to help you feel safe enough to be honest (including about the parts you don’t usually say out loud). We’ll go at a pace that’s manageable & make sense of what’s going on together rather than me “doing therapy to you.” I’ll bring compassion & steadiness, but I’m also not afraid to be direct when something matters in a way that’s respectful. The aim is always to help you understand yourself better & leave sessions with something useful to take into life.
