There are many reasons people feel stuck, held back, or distressed. Some examples include anxiety, depression, trauma, navigating periods of change, loss, or overwhelm, or making sense of women's health or neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism. Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want to address, others simply feel that life could be better. Together we can build some understanding of what maintains your struggles and explore what a meaningful outcome would look like. From there, we can outline a plan that helps you move forward in a way that frees up energy for the things that matter most to you. LGBTQIA+ affirmative.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or struggling with relationships? I offer confidential, compassionate counselling both online and face to face. Many of us have events from our past which have left us wounded – rejection, death of a loved one, family member or parent, childhood neglect, bullying, relationship breakdown or abuse. These challenging experiences can have a lasting effect and impact us in ways we don't realise. Ever found yourself asking - Why do I overthink all the time? Why do I struggle to maintain relationships? Why do I struggle to set boundaries? Why do I say "yes" when I really want to say "no."

You might be looking to make changes in your life to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Perhaps you've been struggling with your weight, sleep, exercise, or smoking - or maybe stress, low mood, or anxiety are making everyday life feel harder than it should. You may simply have a sense that life doesn’t quite feel how you want it to feel. Whatever has brought you here, my aim is to support you to better understand yourself - exploring the emotional, behavioural, and psychological factors that are keeping you stuck - and to help you make meaningful changes that improve your wellbeing and quality of life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? As a qualified online counsellor, I provide remote therapy for adults across the UK looking for a talking space which can be accessed from the comfort of their own home. I am a integrative Person-centred counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy. I believe no two people are ever the same, so how can a counselling approach be? For that reason, my approach differs depending on who I am working with and their individual needs. I love meeting people from all walks of life, and it is a true privilege to play a small role in their journey.

Are you done with wondering why you're different? Are you exploring neurodiversity and noticing that pieces of the puzzle are falling together? Are you looking to make sense of your self, and understand yourself better so that you can be the best, most authentic version of yourself? I see you. Do you want to be better able to communicate your needs, to make life easier for yourself and those around you? Adults who suspect or are diagnosed as neurodiverse go through a transition process, of shedding who we thought we were and truly accepting who we are. I can help you with that.

Sometimes it looks like you’re managing just fine - capable, responsible, the one others rely on. But inside you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or questioning what comes next. You might be carrying grief, burnout, relationship difficulties, or moving through a life transition that has shifted your sense of self. I work with individuals and couples, many of whom are professionals, creatives, leaders, and public-facing or high-profile individuals navigating pressure, visibility, and responsibility. Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and feel less alone in it.
