If you’re caught in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or people-pleasing, this work helps you understand why — and how to change it.
We start by looking at where you are now: what’s not working, what’s keeping you stuck, and where you’d like to go. From there, we create a practical, personalised plan using brain-based tools, emotional insight, and evidence-informed strategies to shift the patterns underneath the surface to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, build self-confidence and clarity, break unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
This isn’t about quick fixes or crisis support. It’s steady, supported change.

I never set out to work with a specific kind of person, however, around 70% of my clients tend to be women aged between 30 and 45. They worry, feel stressed and not good enough. They often find themselves saying 'what if' all the time having lost their zest for life without any knowledge of why! It might be triggered by past traumatic events, the challenges of juggling life, family or work. These feelings might be a new, unexplained experience or they may have been around for decades. Does this sound like you? Even if this doesn't, you may be like the other 30% of people I work with, and you matter too!

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) is an action focussed therapy that links with CBT.
We all get stuck, lost and don't know which path to take at times. We often then get into patterns to help us manage, we stop doing things that make us anxious, we drink or eat more for example, but these behaviours don't always connect with the person we want to be or the life we want to live. I want to help you to get back to the things that matter to you. I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults. Nature is a powerful ally in therapy and having fun and creating provides opportunities to learn skills that can positively impact on your day to day life now and future growth.

In addition to being trained in specialised eating disorder interventions and CBT, I'm also experienced in using third wave therapies such as compassion focussed, acceptance and commitment and mindfulness based therapy.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by mental health challenges and wondering whether you can enjoy a life of quality where you're in control rather than the mind bully. You're hoping for a compassionate, honest non- judgemental therapist with lived experience and clinical expertise.
You want a safe space to unmask and be authentic, whilst being supported to face your fears. You're hoping for a collaborative journey where your therapist is a true partner, guiding you through setbacks empowering you to understand your experiences and work towards recovery - not necessarily "free" of the struggles, but maybe a "little bit less" of them.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
