Reaching out can be difficult. Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, unsettled, lost your way, or uncomfortable with whom you have become. The difficulties within our lives can change who we are or how we see the world. It can lead to thoughts or behaviours that take us away from who we are, resulting in a feeling of something not being right, struggling to cope or to make sense of things. When entering therapy, our life experiences enter too, and healing occurs within the processing. We will work together to build trust and explore your emotions and thoughts within a non-judgemental and safe environment, working at your own pace.

Seeking therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you might be used to coping on your own, while sensing that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and I work with adults who may feel stuck with anxiety, low mood, or stress, often while managing work and everyday responsibilities. Many feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or caught in unhelpful patterns, and are looking for understanding, practical support, and positive change. Therapy focuses on helping you feel better now, while developing skills you can use long after sessions.

It can sometimes seem worrying to share your deepest, most personal thoughts and feelings. I'm here to offer a warm, welcoming and confidential therapeutic space to individuals and couples, where you will have your time to talk and where hopefully we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship, one in which you can feel comfortable to share your worries and thoughts. Every client and every therapeutic process is different and I will always value you as a unique individual, with the utmost respect for the journey you have navigated and the place you find yourself in now. I also work with Aviva or Bupa health insurance clients.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by life's challenges? Many people I work with are hardworking professionals who carry more than they let on. From the outside your life may look fine, but inside something hasn't felt right for a while. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or patterns in relationships that keep repeating. For others it's more specific — trauma that still surfaces, or the weight of a long-term or life-changing health condition. You don't need to be in crisis, or have it all figured out. Often, simply knowing something needs to change is reason enough to reach out.

I am committed to working with clients who are struggling with their emotional wellbeing. These difficulties can cause difficulties in relationships, at work and on a person's experiences of connecting with themselves and the world around them. I work sensitively and supportively with clients who have experienced a number of difficult life experiences including grief, trauma, relationship difficulties to name but a few. I can help you to feel like you develop a better more compassionate understanding of yourself and help you to feel like you are moving forward in life rather than feeling stuck and directionless.

I endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable, quiet space for clients to explore sensitive issues. The relationship between myself and the client is at the heart of my approach. I believe that being with a client and offering a compassionate holding presence while they share their story is essential to establish a therapeutic working alliance before offering insight and psycho education. I adapt my approach to suit the needs of each client and integrate suitable interventions or tools work with whatever issue the client is presenting.

I work with adults who often feel outwardly capable but internally struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, or repeating relationship patterns. Many feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm, despite having tried to understand themselves logically. These difficulties are often rooted in earlier relational or life experiences that still impact how they feel and relate today. In therapy, I help clients slow down, make sense of these patterns, and create change at a deeper emotional level.

I am interested in working with complex emotional and relational difficulties and trauma, supporting people to heal from the lasting impact of adverse experiences and to move towards recovery and fulfil their potential. I am also passionate about improving access to services for marginalised populations. Over time, my professional and personal journey has shaped how I view emotional distress. Rather than asking “what is wrong with you?”, I ask “what has happened to you?”. This shift allows me to see beyond presenting problems to the person behind the distress. It also enables me to bring kindness and compassion into my work.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift. Perhaps you’ve carried trauma, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, or chronic overthinking for years. You want clarity, emotional stability, healthier relationships, and confidence in yourself. You may already reflect deeply, even using AI to explore your thoughts, yet still feel unresolved. You don’t just want insight, you want real change, integration, and a sense of calm, secure direction in your life.

Living with a long-term health condition can affect far more than your physical health. You may be adjusting to a diagnosis, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to feel like yourself again. I also work with people who feel stuck, burnt out, or off track, even without a specific diagnosis. Most people I see want to feel more in control, regain direction, and move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
