I work with individuals aged 14 and above, supporting a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, body image, disordered eating, self-harm, sexuality, LGBTQI matters, ADHD, neurodiversity, and challenges related to blended families.
From my own experience of receiving counselling, I understand how daunting it can feel to sit with a stranger and share feelings that may be challenging, deeply hidden, or even tied to shame. My style is intuitive, engaging, and empathetic—I strive to actively listen to you and create a space where you feel heard. And yes, sometimes we might even laugh!

People seek therapy when they are dissatisfied or unhappy and feel that it is possible to make changes but this is very difficult alone. Psychotherapy is a particular type of conversation exploring thoughts, feelings and relationships. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to think about what is troubling in a safe setting to understand and improve relationships, both with ourselves and others. My thinking and approach places relationships at the heart of experience. When patterns in relationships can be understood we can feel liberated to change.

At times we need a place, independent of family & friends, to explore any fears/anxieties we have.
Through this process, I can support you in obtaining the awareness & clarity to move forward and take care of any worries in your life. I am passionate about supporting people and enjoy seeing clients shift from an unknown place of not knowing your own capabilities, into growing into who you are & what you can become, just by taking the time to nurture you.

In my professional practice, I have assisted clients with a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, addiction, depression, bereavement, childhood abuse, shame, anger, low self-esteem, narcissistic injuries, victimisation by crime, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and relational trauma stemming from family dynamics
I offer support to individuals as they navigate life’s demands. You may be experiencing significant changes, or perhaps you feel stuck, exhausted, or uncertain about your next steps. It could be that you are in a relationship that is not meeting your hopes, or you find yourself questioning why relationships do not seem to work out as you had wished. You might be grappling with loss, whether personal or professional, or facing difficulties in your relationships with family members, friends, or colleagues at work. There are times when it is hard to pinpoint exactly what you are feeling, yet you recognise that something is amiss.

I'm a warm, friendly, 'come exactly as you are' human being. Occasionally sweary, always empathic, with a genuine love of supporting others in healing, insight and finding their way to a happier self. I've benefitted from therapy myself and know it can feel really exposing, especially at first. Trusting another person with some of the most hidden and protected parts of yourself is not an easy thing to do. I can however assure you, that whatever you share in our sessions, will be as protected and cared for by me, as it has been by you. I also offer a free initial consultation, which may help you deide if we might be a good fit.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to make sense of potential or confirmed ADHD, autism, or ongoing mental health difficulties. Perhaps you’re seeking clarity through assessment, or support that truly understands how neurodivergence shows up in everyday life - in education, at work, in relationships, or within your family. You want answers, reassurance, and support that feels respectful, not rushed or dismissive.
