Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and so therapy offers a light of clarity and calm —a place to be fully seen and heard. I specialise in Internal Family Systems (IFS), having trained to Level 2, which offers you a reflective way to understand yourself better with compassion, creativity, and courage. Sessions help you heal from painful life events, accept things that cannot be changed, and reduce stress & anxiety, boosting your mood and energy levels. Together, we can explore your complex inner system and journey toward more acceptance, connection and confidence.

Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, stuck in repeating patterns, or carrying a sense of shame, invisibility, or “something wrong with me.” You may have learned to survive by performing, pleasing, or shutting down. Therapy can be a place to reduce performing, slow things down, and begin relating to yourself with kindness and self-compassion. Healing doesn’t come from fixing or pushing pain away. It comes from turning toward those lonely, isolating, fearful parts of us with curiosity and compassion— to witness their story without trying to change it. 
When we do this, something beautiful happens: feeling is healing.

I can work with children who have ASD, ADHD and other diagnosis.
Sometimes strong emotions such as anger, sadness and anxiety can leave children feeling overwhelmed. This can lead them to become withdrawn, have difficulties at school and in friendships, or show their feelings in behaviours which are unhelpful. Psychotherapy can help your child to put their feelings into words and help them to express themselves in a different way. They will have access to a confidential space in which they can explore what is causing their distress and, by understanding themselves better, they can have better relationships with their family and friends and begin to build their confidence.

ADHD, High-functioning anxiety, sensitivity, hormonal issues and perfectionism overlap so much that many people end up using the wrong tools for their wiring, and that’s why it can feel like nothing ever sticks.
When you’re struggling with overthinking, poor focus, memory lapses, intense emotions, or decision fatigue, it can be hard to know what’s really going on.

I specialise in working with trauma and C-PTSD, supporting survivors of abuse and neurodivergent adults. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You might struggle with anxiety, low mood, emotional dysregulation, or relationship difficulties, feel disconnected from yourself and others. You may feel shut down, or feel constantly on edge or burnt out. You may have experienced trauma, loss, stress, or spent years coping, masking, or putting others first. You may need calm and a greater self-understanding of yourself rather than just pushing through life.

At the heart of my work is a belief in a deeper self. That calm, wise part of you that knows what you need and longs to live more fully. When life becomes overwhelming, it’s easy to lose touch with that inner clarity. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with it.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
