Are you or your child finding it difficult to cope with life’s challenges? At times, we can all face situations that affect our mental health. You or your child may be experiencing thoughts or behaviours that cause confusion, distress, or harm. Experiences such as bullying, feeling out of place, or struggling with social and cultural expectations can have a profound impact on wellbeing, sometimes leading to anxiety, low mood, or other mental health difficulties. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, and my aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you or your child can feel at ease.

I’m a therapist and lecturer specialising in anxiety, chronic worry, and trauma.
I work with people who appear steady and capable on the outside — but internally, their mind never stops. You might get through the day, perform at work, support everyone else… yet still feel tense, overwhelmed, or constantly bracing for “the next bad thing”
This anxious state can show up in endless “what if” thinking, sleepless nights, apprehension, over-preparing, or avoiding anything that feels unpredictable. Many of my clients are caring, thoughtful, responsible people — but they’re exhausted for holding everything together, never truly relaxing.

You may feel stuck in cycles of depression, worry, perfectionism, or self-criticism — always striving, yet never feeling “enough.” Relationships might feel strained, perhaps you may be searching for acceptance in a world that doesn’t always feel built for you. Deep down, you might want more than just relief: you long to feel accepted, build healthier patterns, and reconnect with yourself and others.
My clients often seek both healing and growth — a safe space to let go of judgement and make room for confidence, connection, and joy.

You could be seeking help for yourself, or it could be for a loved one or a child - they need help and you also want to know how to help them.

Are worries keeping you up at night? stressed about bills, going to work or school? feeling low and not wanting to get out of bed in the mornings?

As a Clinical Psychologist I am passionate about working with people to address their emotional and mental health difficulties and to achieve their treatment goals. I have a particular interest in working with addictions, trauma, and anxiety disorders and as such these are my main areas of expertise. In addition to working privately, I also worked in an NHS Addictions Service until recently, predominantly with alcohol and illicit drugs, and as a result much of my work was with people with complex mental health needs.

Choosing to see a counsellor isn't easy. I know. There's still a lot of stigma attached to the decision. But, counselling can be a wonderful tool. It can help you make sense of difficult and puzzling circumstances. Anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, anger, low self-esteem and trauma seemingly appear from nowhere. They might be recent or may have been around a while. And then there's family issues and couples counselling. I can help you get to the cause and get some relief. I'm person-centred and I’m authentic. I'm non-judgemental. I’m BACP registered and believe in your inherent potential. I'll help you be your personal best.
