You may be living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or long-standing emotional distress, alongside feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood due to ADHD or autistic traits. Past experiences may have involved masking, burnout, or invalidation, leaving you feeling exhausted or unsure of yourself. You might be a busy individual with limited time or feel that weekly therapy hasn’t worked for you. I offer neuroaffirming therapy alongside EMDR intensive therapy to help you process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and gain clarity, supporting you to move forward with greater self-understanding, stability, and confidence.

Relationships can be tough and bring challenges that make you feel lonely, isolated with no-one to turn to. You may be grieving the loss of someone you loved, managing the expectations of others, constantly arguing with your spouse or adapting to a new change in your life. These problems can leave you anxious, down and without the confidence you once had. As a therapist qualified in CBT and Interpersonal Therapy, I take great pride in my job and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

Therapy can support you to make sense of what you have been through as well as develop coping strategies to move towards your life goals.

I’m an HCPC-registered Psychologist with a passion for supporting young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Over the years, I’ve worked across education, health, social care, and charity sectors with people from all walks of life. Alongside my private practice, I also work as a Principal Psychologist within an NHS Mental Health Service. I believe the experiences we carry and the social worlds we grow up in shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. These influences often feel hidden—yet they can profoundly impact our identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

I have worked in mental health for over 25 years, first as an NHS mental health nurse and later as a psychotherapist. This has given me a broad range of experience, and an understanding that people’s difficulties don’t always fit neatly into diagnostic labels. I offer a calm, thoughtful space to talk things through. My approach is collaborative and direct. We may look at patterns, relationships, or current pressures, and where useful, work more practically to help things shift. I tend to focus on what is happening now, while also making sense of how things have come to be this way.

The experience of coming for therapy is an opportunity for you to discover for the first or subsequent time in life that you can let go of all the judgements, the fear and hesitation, and begin to talk about what is bothering you. We become wounded within a sense of connectedness - in families, relationships, friendships and society - and paradoxically it is within a sense of connectedness that we can begin to heal. Psychotherapy with me offers an experience of relatedness, which unfolds in a way that it facilitates a fundamental change in the personality, including how you experience, respond to- or make meaning of life.
