Are you baffled by your relationship with a narcissist?
Are you exhausted by the mind games, gaslighting, and deceit?
Have your friends grown tired of hearing you talk about the same issues?
Don't worry, you're not alone. Narcissistic abuse is real and NOT all therapists get it. Narcs are sly, conniving, and incredibly devious. Until you've experienced their abuse, it's hard to understand. This often leads to victims feeling increasingly isolated, which exacerbates the narcissist's control and creates fertile ground for further abuse. It's no wonder such relationships compromise your sanity.

Sometimes we feel that our life is not a life well-lived. Many of us feel like we are surviving instead of thriving. Our mental health plays a big role here. It shapes our experience of life.

With experience in palliative care and counselling settings, I have come to recognise that we can change profoundly through the therapeutic process. We may be ever shifting throughout the lifecourse, yet sometimes are frustrated by repeating moments of stuckness. As a BPC-registered organisational therapist and counsellor, with an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy and psychoanalytically informed PhD, our work may involve developing awareness of both those internal and external obstacles to discover greater freedoms in life. My specialism is in supporting people with chronic illness, deep grief and loss.

Many of the people I work with are high‑functioning adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma or identity pressures. They often feel overwhelmed, pulled between responsibilities and their own needs, or caught in patterns shaped by family, culture or past experiences. They’re thoughtful, resilient and aware that something deeper needs attention. Therapy supports them to feel more grounded, break old cycles, improve relationships and reconnect with a clearer sense of self.

Have you been through something traumatic and never had the chance to process what has happened? Are your early life experiences impacting your life, making it hard to live the life you want to? In my 13 years working in mental health, as a Chartered Counselling Psychologist in the NHS and private practice, I have seen the profound impact that your past experiences can have on your current life. I became a specialist in treating adverse life experiences (trauma) and I have found through offering evidence based trauma therapy that people can process their past experiences and begin to live the life they want and deserve.

I am in-network for Aviva, WPA, Allianz Partners and Vitality Health Insurance, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients and help with reimbursement.
You may be someone who looks as though you're coping, while inside you're overthinking, exhausted or quietly struggling. Perhaps you put others first, doubt yourself, feel responsible for everyone around you, or keep finding yourself caught in the same patterns. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties and burnout. Together, we can understand what's keeping you stuck and help you feel more secure, confident and able to move forward.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Life can be difficult at times and we tend to experience our greatest challenges when what we are doing is very different from what we would like to be doing. Sometimes our relationships might not be fulfilling or work can seem pointless or unsatisfactory. This can manifest in distressing thoughts, painful feelings and unhelpful behaviours. Our work together will help you to live a more rich and meaningful life.

Is your relationship with food and your body still causing problems, even after eating disorder treatment? Do others think you're better, without realising you're still struggling with the mental side of recovery? Perhaps your treatment left a lasting mark, or never gave you the chance to deal with the trauma underneath it. Or you were diagnosed autistic or ADHD after your eating disorder began, and wonder if that's why treatment didn't fit. I help adults move beyond an eating disorder, and process the life experiences that drove it or the trauma that was left by treatment.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing various emotional difficulties, by offering a safe, compassionate and containing therapeutic space to support reflection and meaningful change. If you are struggling with low mood, anxiety, trauma-related distress, or a sense of feeling disconnected from your values or sense of self, I aim to offer a space where you can feel understood, begin to make sense of your difficulties, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. I have a particular interest in perinatal mental health and supporting people through the emotional complexities of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
