Counselling is about making sense of what’s on your mind and finding practical ways to feel more in control. I listen closely, ask questions that matter, and help you explore strategies that actually fit your life. Sessions are focused, supportive, and occasionally lightened with well-timed honesty—because life doesn’t always need another lecture.
Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-esteem, work-life balance, or life transitions, we work together to clarify what matters to you and take steps that lead to real progress.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

Attachment is the emotional wiring that shapes how love feels — whether it feels safe, overwhelming, or simply not worth the risk. It affects who you’re drawn to, how you handle difficulty, and why anxiety can rise as closeness grows. You might repeat painful patterns, struggle with boundaries, or worry about losing yourself in relationships. These are ways you learned to protect yourself when closeness didn’t feel safe. In our work, we look at these patterns and how safety and threat show up in the body, with the aim of calmer relationships, steadier emotions, and a more secure sense of connection.
