There is no question life is stressful - but the good news is that help is available. You do not have to struggle alone. We all need a neutral, non-judgmental person to talk things through with. I believe that knowing you are not alone, and having that safe place to express your fears, or uncover how the past influences you today, is essential for mental health.

We are often taught that some feelings are "good" and others are "bad," but really, every emotion is just trying to tell us something.
When we carry old pain, it is common to swing between two extremes. Sometimes we numb out and shut down until we feel stuck. Other times the pain becomes so loud and the urges so strong that they feel impossible to control. Both are just ways you’ve learned to cope with things that were too much to handle alone.
In our sessions, we can slow down to face these feelings without being forced to act on them. This lets the struggle settle so you can finally feel more steady.

ONLINE: Therapy for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed or misunderstood
I am a Chartered and Registered Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience. I work with individuals who may appear strong on the outside but internally carry stress, shame or a sense of feeling “stuck.” You may have coped alone for a long time, or felt misunderstood in past therapy. I offer a calm, safe space to explore complex feelings and patterns — especially for those who find it hard to trust or fear judgement, and who want to understand themselves more deeply, not just ‘cope’. Therapy here is not about perfection — it’s about honest transformation.

I have been working in this field for over twenty years now and I still have a determined passion for it. I am trusted to hear the life narratives and difficulties of those seeking support and my aim is to help you feel heard and empowered. I have never lost sight of this aim. I have worked with people who have felt very isolated by their own thoughts, felt intense shame, and struggled to cope with overwhelming feelings. Usually they have not felt able to talk to those around them for fear of judgment, embarrassment or rejection. I feel privileged to have been trusted by my clients which enables me to help lessen their burden.

How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behaviour that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behaviour as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
