I work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, or trauma.
Is life feeling tough at the moment? Is everyday feeling the same . .. are you just getting up and pushing through? Do you feel you are not good enough, and compare yourself to others? Are you worried about world events and how they may impact you? We can work on your overwhelm, figure out what is beneath it all and why you are feeling this way. We can work on how you would like your life to look and what is stopping it from feeling ok now. We'll work totally in the present or we can look back at your past to see if patterns are emerging and triggering you. I can help you unpick all of this at your own pace and in confidence.

Thank you for visiting my profile, I know that it can be quite daunting to look for support particularly when you're feeling vulnerable and with so many practitioners to choose from. Sometimes life can be tough, we can get confused, low or stressed and can't seem to find our way, it's at these times that counselling can be useful and help us understand our emotions and help us get back in control.

I aim to be open to your experience of yourself rather than a label of ‘ anxiety’ or ‘depression’ and so offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation as an opportunity for us to discuss working together.
Do you find yourself prioritising the external world and the needs of those around you? Perhaps you feel different to others or misunderstood in relationships? It may be you experience self-doubt, negative thinking or notice yourself repeating patterns that impact your relationships. Whatever is going on for you working together, relationally we can begin to explore ‘YOU’, focus on raising your awareness & understanding of the way you experience yourself, to identify your goals for therapy, to be open to learning new ways of being. Therapy is a commitment between client & therapist, to be open to wanting things to be different.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
My approach is relational, somatic, and trauma informed. Alongside talking, we pay attention to how stress and past experiences live in the body through tension, overwhelm, numbness, fear, or shutdown. Therapy can help you feel safer in yourself, understand your patterns more clearly, and build healthier ways of relating.

I have availability for new clients and Supervisees, as of March 2025. My working days are mondays and tuesdays, via Zoom. During these unprecedented times, it's more important than ever to be mindful of our mental health and well-being. I guess my USP is that I have 30 years of prior experience working at Director level in Investment banking, so if you value some real world experience, we might be a good match. I also have a special interest in working with clients dealing with long term health conditions, through my own lived experience.

I work with anxiety, self esteem, trauma, identity crises, relationship issues and much more all with the skills and expertise gained through years of experience and professional development.
Mental health conditions don’t arise because there is something wrong with us but because at some point we have left parts of ourselves behind through life's inevitable ups and downs. Left unprocessed these experiences deplete and shrink us causing the typical MH issues so familiar to us. We feel unseen and a 'less than' version. Good therapy is about reclaiming yourself bringing together mind, body and spiritual aspects that contribute to your well-being. Reviving purpose, joy and pleasure once again. Put simply, good therapy is about healing and leads to a greater potential in you.

My counselling experience is varied and includes working with people who have problems with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, work stress and coping with mid-life transitions.
Perhaps you are feeling lost, in a 'strange place' or no longer feel yourself to be the person you once were. You'd like to understand why this is and talk about your difficult feelings with someone who is non-judgmental and who can help you better understand them.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure why things feel so hard, you are not alone. Many of the people I work with have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or pushing through on their own. I work with adults who are ADHD, Autistic or AuDHD (diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring). I offer a calm, accepting space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin to feel more like yourself again, without pressure to perform or fit expectations.

My areas of expertise: The ever evolving complexities of AuDHD/ Adult ADHD / L1 and High Masking Autism / LGBTQIA+ identity and struggles / Perfectionism / 'Survival Mode' (whether fight, flight, freeze, fawn or a mixture) / Dissociation / Depression / Anxiety / Grief/loss (in all of its forms)
Beginning counselling takes a huge amount of courage and I consider it a privilege to work therapeutically with each one of my clients. I provide a comfortable, warm and confidential space in which you can express yourself freely. I operate from a place of non-judgement. I work integratively, meaning that I use a number of therapeutic models as part of my approach to best meet your needs. This includes elements of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy.
