Delivering Trauma Risk Management (TRiM) I've supported many who feel they must be the 'strong one'.
You’re the person everyone turns to. The one who gets things done while quietly wondering who you can turn to? Inside, you’re exhausted by the constant noise of overthinking and the energy it takes to 'keep the peace'. I offer a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend you’re fine, or have the 'right' words. Whether walking in nature, sitting in my quiet room, or talking online, we’ll slow things down so you can hear yourself again. My aim is to help you feel more grounded, more confident in your choices, and less alone with what you’re carrying.

Anxiety, relationship and self-esteem issues often result from early trauma or attachment issues.
Have you lost your way, your purpose, your spark? You may be in a dark place and feel there is no way out. I have been a psychotherapeutic counsellor for 10 years, specialising in anxiety, trauma and abuse, attachment issues, low-self esteem and anxiety. My method is to create a very safe and understanding space, listening deeply and reflecting - sometimes gently challenging - what I see and hear. The aim is to help build a clearer picture of who you are and who you want to be, inviting change, resilience, compassion and self-awareness. I also offer tools that might help, including writing, narrative therapy and hypnotherapy.

I have a wide range of experience that includes anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
Many people struggle quietly with life's difficulties, believing they should cope on their own. But when we carry everything by ourselves, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or stuck in the stress of it all. In our sessions, we will gently and compassionately explore your situation, helping you to process your feelings and develop greater self-understanding. Together, we can work towards emotional resilience, acceptance, and create meaningful change to improve your wellbeing.

I'm a doctor & therapist with a specialist interest in OCD. I believe that, with the right support & guidance, this is a highly treatable (!) problem. First, we must understand the nature of your intrusive thoughts & why they are causing you such distress. Next, we will explore how these thoughts influence the way you live your life. During this process, we’ll identify what is causing & maintaining your OCD &, most importantly, what needs to change to overcome it. In OCD, the problem is not an intellectual one. The issue lies at a deeper, more emotional level. Here, actions speak louder than words. We much change how you’re living.

Clients bring issues like depression, anxiety, grief, anger and passivity. They maybe experiencing a major life transition (e.g. mid age / relationship breakdown) that feels too much to face alone or/and has triggered issues that now need attention. I provide integrative psychotherapy in Norwich and NR10, drawing from evidence based methods to support the whole person - including attachment informed methods, humanistic and cognitive techniques, internal family systems. My approach is also psychodynamic, so we explore patterns rooted in early relationships and how they might still play out, even within the therapy relationship.
