Often the most important thing is to be able to tell your story and have someone truly listen and accept you. I offer a safe space to explore any difficulties. Therapy is offered face to face but I am also happy to offer video calls or home visits if you have mobility or travel issues.

Life has a way of piling onto us and sometimes its hard to recognize the effects of our experiences over time. This can lead to developing unhelpful coping skills in the moment, that are not conducive to a healthy and happy life. We need to adapt and find other ways of coping once the storm has passed, which can be difficult to do on your own. As a qualified psychologist, I have experience in working with inpatient and community settings over the last 6 years. I specialize in working with Personality Disorder (BPD, ASPD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD and CPTSD), and neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, LD, Autism).

Stuck, confused, anxious. I hear you. Are you in a couple or relationship and struggle to know what you want, how to say it and how to be heard and understood? Navigating life, relationships and a whirlwind of emotions is exhausting. Anxiety weighs heavy in our bodies and takes up space in our mind; feeling lost without a way forward is a lonely experience and past trauma can feel very present. I offer gentleness and compassion, challenge when it's welcome, humour when laughter can heal, and room for tears when they need to fall. I take the time to hear and validate you, your story and what has brought you to this place.

I work with deep thinkers and sensitive, neurodivergent adults who’ve often felt different, misunderstood, or “othered.” Many of my clients struggle with long-standing patterns around food, such as bingeing, restricting, or over-control, alongside questions of identity, belonging, and nervous-system safety. You may be exploring ADHD, autism, OCD traits, or complex trauma, or have a sense that previous therapy didn’t quite reach the root of things. You’re not looking for quick fixes or rigid protocols, you’re seeking clarity, depth, and an approach that finally makes sense for you.

I work with Depression and Anxiety. Commonly other issues are intertwined such as trauma, attachment issues and low self-esteem. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that their feelings, thoughts or other symptoms have begun to affect areas of functioning in life; they find that coping mechanisms that have been helpful in the past are beginning to work less effectively. My attachment-based approach means that I am interested in your past - our early relationships determine how we connect with others as adults, how we view ourselves, and how we regulate ourselves.

You may be a neurodivergent adult, part of a neurodivergent couple, or supporting a neurodivergent loved one, feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck despite having tried many approaches already. You might be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, work or health challenges, or feeling worn down by repeated misunderstandings. You want clarity, understanding, and support that recognises neurodivergence and works with your differences, rather than trying to change who you are.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
