I am a clinical psychologist experienced in helping clients with a wide range of issues, with particular expertise in the area of trauma and PTSD. I have completed post-doctoral training in EMDR and am able to offer this to both children and adults. My approach in therapy is very warm, collaborative and non-judgemental and I will ensure you feel at ease in our sessions. Together we can make sense of whatever difficulties are impacting you (or your child) and I will use evidence-based techniques to work with you to reduce your emotional distress, increase your wellbeing and help you to thrive in your life.

I know the past couple of years have been really difficult times for everybody and there have been many changes in how we meet and talk to each other. Certainly in EMDR treatment, we have had to make rapid changes in how we think and work in order to remain available to those in need. My own experience in working online with life's complex and diverse difficulties has found that positive and effective work can equally be achieved via video sessions and has enabled me to work with so many who would otherwise find difficulty in travelling perhaps due to time, distance, work or other factors. Please email me if you wish to know more

If you are struggling with problems in your relationships, or with anxiety, depression or low self esteem, individual, couples or family therapy can help. Perhaps you've experienced a trauma, a loss or a change in circumstances that you are struggling to adjust to, or you've noticed yourself getting stuck in the same patterns of thinking again and again. If you'd like a safe space to get some fresh perspectives and start relating differently, I can help. Throughout the process I will listen to your experiences and work with you to find new ways of relating to yourself and others that fit with your values.

I think it's very brave to acknowledge when there are difficulties in your life and to embark on a journey of change. It is my privilege to accompany individuals on a therapeutic process which enables them to live a more meaningful life. Our journey together can sometimes be a brief stepping stone of goal focused support, or at other times the therapeutic process is longer term and more explorative. I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals as well as individuals who have lived through adverse or traumatic life experiences. I welcome enquiries from all genders and sexualities.

I can imagine deciding whether you want to have therapy or need therapy is a big question. Perhaps you have suffered a loss, a trauma or are going through a transition of some kind and you want the space and time to work through it. Perhaps this emotional distress whether it be anxiety, low mood, is impacting on your relationships, work and your home life. It could be that you’ve tried many things and for some reason those old ways of coping that have done you well in the past just aren’t working anymore and you feel like you’re struggling. I provide evidence based psychological treatment that might help.

As a qualified and experienced Counsellor & Supervisor, I have worked with many people from all different backgrounds, Charities, Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, Hospices, Care Homes. I've witnessed people find new hope and make positive changes through their counselling process. I believe offering a confidential and non-judgmental space can help someone explore their attachment/relational/emotional difficulties, bereavement, trauma to help gain a secure sense of self. I work in a Person Centred, Humanistic approach with Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis creative interventions to aid exploratory understanding of self.

Life is so beautiful, and life is so hard. Maybe, for you, it feels especially hard right now. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you’re overwhelmed. Anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt could be holding you back, making it hard to focus or set goals. Sleep may feel impossible, leaving you exhausted and unmotivated. You want clarity, calm, and to reconnect with what matters most. You’re ready for change, even if you’re unsure where to start.
