Anxiety can affect your sleep, confidence and relationships, especially alongside long-term health conditions or past experiences that still leave you on edge.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years’ NHS experience. I help adults and older people reduce anxiety, manage trauma, and improve the connection between their physical and emotional wellbeing. Together, we explore patterns, reduce overwhelm, and build practical tools to feel calmer, more in control, and more like yourself.

Do you ever feel flooded by emotions, uneasy in your own skin, or like you’re going numb just to get through the day? Experiences—whether big or small—can remain stored in the mind and body, showing up as tension, intrusive thoughts, repeating patterns, brain fog, or a sense of disconnection. I offer a supportive, somatic and holistic approach to help you navigate past and present experiences, release what’s stuck, and tune into your body’s story. Together, we can soften limiting beliefs and move toward feeling at home in yourself and more connected to your surroundings—with greater calm, balance, and vitality.

You might feel weighed down by shame, guilt, or the sense that you’re never enough. Perhaps this shows up as anxiety, overthinking, exhaustion, or repeating painful relationship patterns. You may notice yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, intrusive thoughts, or emotional numbness, wondering why you can’t just “move on.” Deep down you may long for relief, self-trust, and the freedom to live more fully, but trying to explore this alone possibly feels overwhelming. Ideally, you'd want a space where you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Hello, my name is Xenia and I am passionate about helping you be the best version of yourself. Making the first step towards therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Life has it’s challenges and I have certainly had my own over the years. Sometimes we just need support from someone that isn’t family or a close friend; Someone who we can trust that they will hold space for us in order to process certain events, or, a confidential objective party that will listen, without judgement, so we can make sense of ourselves and the world around us.

Many of the people I work with have spent years coping quietly while privately struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, addiction, or harsh self-criticism. Some feel exhausted by holding things together for others while feeling disconnected from themselves. I also offer neuro-affirming support for autistic and ADHD clients. My approach is warm, relational and collaborative, offering a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and supported while exploring meaningful and lasting change.

Are you sad, experiencing an ongoing battle with low mood and depression? Do you need time and space to work through what's causing your anxiety, stress, upset in your life? Does the daily struggle leave you exhausted and feeling like you want to give up? Physical symptoms are a result of an overthinking mind, negative thought patterns and habits that are causing you emotional distress. You are not alone and effective therapy can be a life changing process enabling you to feel happier and more fulfilled. Taking back control needs new skills, coping mechanisms and a different perspective - making the call is the first step.

I am a BABCP registered Psychotherapist. It is my goal to facilitate and communicate with my clients as best as they can to uncover the essence of concerning issues and those that may arise. These issues can be challenging and overwhelming. My experience has shown that using a non-judgmental, open and honest approach enables clients to understand themselves and their lives better after understanding how to communicate. This skill begins on day one of therapy and can be applied to various life situations. I am honored to hear clients speak about what matters to them most, and to help them reach their full potential.

Hello, I am Laura an experienced therapist, here to help. Through sessions we will be able to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours at the moment and how you have gotten to today. We will consider what changes you are able to make to ensure that you are back living your best life. Often by understanding what has happened in the past we can better understand what is challenging today. Vicious cycles can start slowing and build up over time. What makes things easier in the short term can often have a larger impact in the longer term.

Choosing to start counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling anxious, low, stuck, or uncertain about yourself or your direction. I offer a warm, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and explore what’s going on for you at your own pace. I’ve been working as a counsellor since 2009 and I’m trained in person‑centred, humanistic and integrative approaches. This means I tailor therapy to you, rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all method. Sessions can be short or long term, depending on what you’re looking for, and I offer flexible daytime and evening appointments, both in person and online.
