Thanks to you for visiting my my profile. Having delivered therapy to the Armed Forces community, NHS, and privately over the past 23 years I've been privileged to support a broad range of people and their difficulties. Whether struggling with the impacts of trauma, or with the stuck feeling of stress, anxiety, loss, and depression, finding acceptance is often the key to the door of your healing. I believe that we sometimes forget the inherent goodness that lies within, which once reconnected with, can mean we live a more meaningful and rewarding life. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or to arrange a consultation.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a late ADHD diagnosis, or processing the impact of a significant life event. Often, we find ourselves repeating patterns we don’t fully understand, outwardly competent, high performing, yet internally disconnected from a sense of satisfaction or happiness.
As a CBT psychotherapist, I combine evidence-based approaches with genuine curiosity and compassion. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can gently explore your experiences, make sense of what’s happened, and work collaboratively to create meaningful lifelong change.

Over more than 16 years in clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds. One thing I have learnt is that people rarely come to therapy because something is wrong with them. More often, they have spent a long time carrying experiences, responsibilities or expectations that have left them feeling exhausted, stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we explore the emotional patterns shaping your life, creating space for greater clarity, self-understanding and meaningful, lasting change.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying things alone for too long, therapy can offer a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. I work with adults who want thoughtful jargon free psychotherapy, especially when anxiety, low mood, addiction, or past experiences are shaping how life feels right now.
I offer online psychotherapy to adults across the UK, providing a space where you can speak openly and reflect honestly. I have extensive experience working with people who have lived through trauma, difficult childhood experiences, and mental health struggles.

Are you burned out and overwhelmed? I help adult professionals manage stress and anxiety through talking therapy, presence practice and mindfulness.
We can all experience burn out at some point. It's normal and it's nature's way of telling us to slow down. We don't always have the luxury of slowing down but we can learn to feel more connected to ourselves and others.
