LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma-informed therapy for people who have always felt different in some way. The world can be a hard place if you feel a lot. You might have been told you’re too sensitive or too much. There’s space for you to put down who you've been told you 'should' be and come as you are. You might be struggling with anxiety, relationships or an over-active inner critic. Perhaps you find it hard to trust your decisions and stop people pleasing. My own journey has given me proof that change is always possible. Together, we’ll work to overcome the things that have been holding you back so you can start to feel better.

Are you a member of the LGBTQI+ community? Are you exploring the transition process? Coming out to loved ones? Experiencing hatred, social stigma or body dysmorphia? Struggling to understand your identity, pronouns or where you 'fit'? Are you navigating your unique relationship and setting boundaries? Counselling can help you to explore your thoughts on these matters. For men to reach out and express how they feel is often very hard, they fear stigma, worry of being judged and feeling of not being 'like a man' you are not alone in these feelings and counselling can offer that safe space to express your feelings without judgement

Clinical Psychologist specialising in anxiety, trauma and mind–body health. Are you constantly tense, low in mood, or exhausted from holding everything together? You may look like you’re coping, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. Anxiety can affect your sleep, confidence and relationships, especially alongside long-term health conditions or past experiences that still leave you on edge. I have a particular interest in supporting adults and older people. If you’re tired of pushing through, therapy can help you feel calmer, more in control, and able to move forward.

My work focuses on trauma, anxiety, stress, and the lasting effects of adversity across the lifespan. I am especially interested in how earlier experiences, attachment patterns, and current demands shape emotional wellbeing, relationships, and coping in the present. I offer psychologically informed, evidence-based support aimed not only at symptom relief, but at deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

You know something isn't right, but you can't quite understand why you can't move forward on your own. You might be feeling anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you don't fully understand, or in a life that doesn't feel quite like yours anymore. I help people heal from trauma and change unhelpful patterns and beliefs so you can feel calmer and more confident, reach your goals, improve your relationships and live a more fulfilling life. I will support you to understand why you feel the way you do and to find a way forward, with a new level of confidence and purpose.

You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or weighed down by the past. Maybe you're having nightmares or flashbacks and feeling hyper-alert to danger. You want to feel more in control, build confidence, and find ways to move forward, but you’re not sure where to start. Therapy can help.

As a psychologist, I have lived and practiced in England, China and most recently in Mexico. I have worked with people across the life span, with children, families and couples. I also have extensive experience working with children and adults who struggled profoundly in their early attachment relationships.

Are you a parent supporting a child who has additional needs (SEN or mental health)? Perhaps struggling with school attendance or trying to navigate the system to access support? You are doing everything you can to support them, but are finding yourself struggling and don't know where to turn? Then I can help. I can not only draw upon 20 years experience of working clinically supporting adults with emotional difficulties, but I can bring in knowledge, compassion and understanding from a lived experienced who has navigated such situations.

I am a provider with Aviva, AXA Health and WPA and can bill your insurance directly for approved claims if you wish to use your insurance for therapy.
I work with adults (18+). I have experience working in various settings with clients with different goals/needs. I welcome clients with a range of presenting concerns. However, I am particularly interested in working with clients who have experienced trauma. Usually, this work involves supporting clients to address or process the things that cause them distress and exploring what living more fully or meaningfully looks like so that they are less impacted by things that have happened in the past. I welcome all enquiries, and I welcome people of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds.

Most people feel overwhelmed and 'burned out' at some point in their life. Often we know what the problem is, it might be work related, personal or a combination of things. Maybe, it is less clear, a general awareness of feeling low and unhappy much of the time without really knowing why. It can be invaluable to have somewhere private and confidential to talk, to be able to think more clearly about what isn't working, the reasons why and how things could be different going forward.
