Whether you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, want to explore your relationships or are struggling to make sense of the world, there is a safe space for you here. My work in counselling has provided me with experience in many different areas, such as grief, anxiety, addiction, sexuality, relationships and low self-esteem. It has become apparent to me that no matter what someone is going through, the main things we want are to feel heard, seen and understood. I have worked with a variety of clients, to aid self-exploration to identify triggers, difficulties and work toward self-acceptance.

Do you feel called to work through the depths? I provide somatic trauma resolution and deep healing, helping you navigate the depths of your being, guiding you back home to your full aliveness and vitality. I work with people who feel numb or disconnected to life, unable to move through what is holding them back. Through a creative, empathic space I help you to lovingly meet your shadows, express what has been suppressed, reconnect to your intuition and wisdom and reclaim the joy, love, passion and creativity that has been thwarted. This work is life changing and truly transformational.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer both long‑term psychotherapy and flexible single sessions. This gives you the choice to work in a way that feels right for you. You may be looking for long‑term therapy to explore past or present experiences, trauma, childhood wounds, or long‑standing behavioural patterns, or you may prefer ad‑hoc sessions to explore your concerns, feelings, or decisions you are navigating. If you are facing emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed or anxious, we can work together to make sense of what you are experiencing, at a pace that feels right for you.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next — and you’ve likely tried to handle it all on your own.
My clients come to me because they want to understand why they feel the way they do, heal what’s been holding them back, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and purposeful.
Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a sense that they’re “not enough.” Others are navigating big transitions; leaving a relationship, changing careers, confronting past trauma, intrusive thoughts or OCD.
They don’t just want coping skills; they want insight, grow

Therapy can help us to manage our lives and our relationships better, it can lead to more fulfilling relationships and a renewed sense of aliveness. Learning how to manage symptoms such as overthinking, insomnia, anxiety, depression, lack of energy, or an enduring sense of helplessness and despair, can lead to renewed energy and a greater sense of freedom in our lives. In my sessions I often use teaching, in order to help make sense of and understand why you might be feeling the way you do and to help you learn ways to make changes in order to better manage those feelings.

Is this what life was supposed to feel like?
Perhaps you’ve hit some milestones - but now you're at a crossroads. Maybe you're questioning your career, struggling with your old friendships, processing a break-up, or just feeling like something is missing? You can’t shake the nagging feeling that life wasn’t supposed to feel like this.
If you're feeling this way, then I can help you.
Together we might work on:
Decision-paralysis.
Reduce feelings of 'stuckness'.
Ease anxiety about time (running out or being wasted).
Let go of comparison.
So that you can feel clear about your future, and confident to start living your life again!

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, life adjustments, relational issues, or other struggles with mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported. The isolation and confusion can feel overwhelming, but as long as you are dedicated to moving forward there is so much hope and so many possibilities for healing.

Do you struggle with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, self esteem, self harm, or relationship issues?
Are you feeling stuck in your life and find it difficult to take a step forward?
Have you experienced trauma such as bullying, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or bereavement, and would like to see how this may be impacting on your life and relationships today?
Maybe you tried talking therapies before but seem to be getting nowhere. Creative counselling has the potential to heal you on a much deeper level, leading to long lasting change. Feelings can be accessed, and healed through the power of metaphor and symbols.

You’ve always been the capable one. High functioning, self aware, often the one others turn to for advice. But lately everything feels heavy. You’re burnt out, emotionally overloaded, and wondering who you are underneath all the coping.
I work with women who look like they’re managing on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck on the inside. This often shows up in motherhood, after difficult experiences like birth trauma, or during big life transitions. You might be tired of overthinking, holding everything together, and feeling like you’ve lost a sense of yourself.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with several years of practice supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobias, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, and mood disorders.
Over the years, I have worked with clients from all walks of life — students, professionals, people adjusting to significant life transitions such as relocation or immigration. I also support young women, mums struggling with postpartum depression, and single parents navigating the demands of modern life.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 9 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

Hi, I'm Caitlyn. I know how overwhelming the search for a therapist can be - especially when life can already feel overwhelming. Many people turn to therapy because they are struggling with depression and anxiety, processing a loss, wanting to understand themselves better, longing to shift areas of stuckness, living with relational difficulties, or experiencing the aftermath of trauma. Therapy can be a place to engage with your story, be met in your pain, understand your patterns of relating, and feel seen.

My goal is to help and support you to develop healthy coping strategies, become more self-aware and experience personal growth. I offer tailor-made therapy that is as individual and unique as you are. Therapy shouldn't just benefit you whilst in session but continue to support you outside of the sessions too. This is achieved by using a combination of talking therapy, worksheets and practical exercises. You can always call me if you are struggling in between sessions. Do you invest more time, love and attention in others than yourself? Then perhaps it is time for you to invest in yourself.
