My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing upon my training and experience in Personal Construct Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches.
I provide a supportive environment in which we can explore together the difficulties that you're experiencing without any judgement. Life can be tough, and change can be hard. We often get fused to unwanted thoughts, beliefs, and struggle with them. We can often feel despair and a sense of hopelessness. I help people realise that unwanted thoughts, feelings, and circumstances can, and do, change, and help people make positive differences in their life.

I help midlife women have an anxiety free menopause.
Women in transition, who feel anxious, stuck and overwhelmed, and know something needs to change, but don’t know where to start, to step into their next, most aligned chapter with calm, confidence, and clarity.
If you’re a woman navigating menopause alongside life’s bigger shifts…you’re in the right place.
Most Menopause coaches give their focus to the physical symptoms of menopause.
I don’t. My focus is on addressing the psychological and emotional impacts of menopause.
The mental stress of menopause is too often overlooked. It’s time to change that.

I use acceptance and commitment techniques to help you align with what matters most.
You’re successful, capable, and driven — but lately, it feels like you’re running on empty. You’re doing everything you can to stay on top of work, family, and life, yet no matter how organised you are, there’s always more to do. The pressure to keep performing is constant, and you’re starting to wonder how long you can keep it up.

Making time for yourself to understand your thoughts and feelings and establish what you truly value in life is so important.

One of my clients has been feeling down, depressed and demotivated. If irritated and short-tempered with people, especially with his wife. He could not find any reason for his feelings. Following the discussion with the client, he said he was a very motivated and active member of his family, but over the past couple of years, he had noticed some changes in his thinking and behaviour. He said that he also daydreams and ruminates a lot. As a result, he had been feeling frustrated and often angry with himself.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, weaving them together into a personalised plan that works for you.
Healing from trauma, anxiety, or painful relationship patterns can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been handling it alone. If you’re carrying the weight of complex trauma, low mood, or unhelpful urges, you deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and safe to be yourself.
I work with people who feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. Many describe feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or caught in self-criticism. Together, we slow things down, understand what’s happening inside, and build a more grounded way of relating to yourself and others.
