I specialise in working with adults who are navigating big life transitions, often as a result of trauma. I work with grief, loss, sexual trauma, break-ups and burnout, and the big questions these experiences bring: Who am I now? What really matters? How can I live with more authenticity?
You might be stuck in familiar relationship patterns, swinging between craving closeness and connection and then finding yourself overwhelmed and wanting to withdraw. You may struggle to set boundaries and ask for what you need, never feeling good enough or constantly comparing yourself to others.

I became a therapist because I am passionate about people and improving as well as enhancing mental wellbeing.

I am here for you and I am here with you. With your permission, I would like to come besides you and help you explore and discover events, thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour and together support you to make changes.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift. Perhaps you’ve carried trauma, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, or chronic overthinking for years. You want clarity, emotional stability, healthier relationships, and confidence in yourself. You may already reflect deeply, even using AI to explore your thoughts, yet still feel unresolved. You don’t just want insight, you want real change, integration, and a sense of calm, secure direction in your life.

I am a Consultant Psychologist and work specifically with people who have OCD or Trauma or both. In 27 years of specialist practice, I have helped 1000+ people regain their lives. It's not your fault if previous therapy hasn't yet yielded the desired results. Often, this is due to a lack of therapist expertise. I tailor therapy to exactly what is needed for YOUR issues. Therefore, your time & monetary investment is often less with me than with other non-specialist psychologists. I see only a small number of clients, so I can offer you the highest level of service. I currently hold a waitlist. Please EMAIL me. No AXA insurance.
