Are you struggling to cope? Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, confused, depressed or simply stuck? Have you experienced trauma that has left you feeling numb, detached or unable to process your feelings? Do you feel angry, ashamed, scared or unfulfilled? There are often a range of emotions that people feel when trying to cope with troubling situations and it is not always easy to reach out for help, as people, including family and friends do not necessarily understand how to support you. I believe I can help. I offer a safe, welcoming, confidential space, where I can support you to unpack what's on your mind.

I work with individuals and couples seeking a thoughtful and relational space to explore emotional difficulty, relationships, identity, and personal change. People often come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in recurring patterns, struggling within relationships, or navigating loss, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, low self-esteem, life transitions, or questions of meaning and belonging. I also work with therapists and trainees seeking reflective clinical supervision and professional support.

I draw from training in transactional analysis and other modalities, but most importantly, I offer a flexible approach to help you navigate personal growth, emotional challenges, and relationship struggles.
You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—perhaps in your relationships, self-worth, or coping mechanisms for life’s pressures. Maybe you're navigating a big life transition, carrying the weight of past trauma, or struggling with anxiety and burnout that feel hard to name, let alone shift. You might not have all the answers yet, but you're ready to explore what change could look like with support. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner self. It's a place where you can safely unpack what’s been holding you back and start building a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

I work in what is described as an 'integrative' approach, ultimately this means having a Person-Centred base and then integrating elements from a number of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy in order to meet the needs of each individual. For you, this means that the therapy you are provided with, is completely tailored to your specific needs as they change. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change and I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore areas of your life that you are struggling with.

Sometimes life’s challenges can feel like too much to handle alone. At those times it can help to have someone professional to talk to in confidence - I offer an understanding, supportive space in which we can work through lifes challenges together. My approach to psychotherapy is both affirming and challenging; supporting you to feel valued and heard whilst enabling you to move past avoidance and fear.

I invite you to not scroll past or move on to the next counsellor just yet but stop and see if any of these areas connect with you. My session's are for those who have experienced early years trauma and are seeing the impact now. For those who are or have been experiencing domestic abuse and need to know how to build healthy relationship for the future. For the parent who is struggling and needs space to talk about it, and for young adults who also have a lot to share and just want to feel understood. For those times when anxiety, stress, low mood, and feeling disconnected seem to dominate your life, we could be a good fit!
