Struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression or relationship difficulties can feel overwhelming and isolating. I offer a warm, grounded space where we make sense of what’s going on and find practical ways forward. I’m an HCPC registered psychologist with 20+ years experience across NHS and private settings, supporting adults with complex emotional difficulties. My approach is integrative, drawing on CBT, DBT, ACT, Schema and compassion focused work to help you understand patterns, build resilience and feel more like yourself again.

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.

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.

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

Life is tough. We all experience loss and difficulties along the way but sometimes those things can feel unmanageable or overwhelming. Maybe the situation is just too big, or maybe it's an accumulation of things that have built up over time that mean you feel you need some therapeutic support. As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred, CBT and Attachment Theory with a particular specialism in working with traumatic loss and bereavement I can provide an empathic space for you to work through your current issues and to explore how your past may be informing your responses in the here and now.

Sometimes its hard to put into words exactly what you're feeling or what you need - a creative approach to therapy can offer you something different. The world is a tough place these days, and having a safe space for YOU can really make a difference. You may be experiencing challenges including loss, anxiety, or life transitions, or are looking to work through experiences of trauma, stress, depression, and more. I approach my art psychotherapy practice from a trauma-informed lense, using creativity alongside talking in my work with adults. I have a background focus on trauma and grief, but welcome all clients in my space.
