Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, particularly during periods of stress, burnout, or transition. You might be navigating challenges around confidence, identity, or relationships, or noticing patterns you’d like to better understand. Therapy can offer a supportive space to explore these experiences and develop greater clarity, self-understanding, and emotional balance.

We may find it helpful to talk problems through with someone close to us, but sometimes friends and family can not help and we need to speak to a professional therapist. I will spend time talking with you to understand your difficulties and to help you identify the roots of your problem and identify what you want to change in your life. In doing so we can find a way to work together to help you to reach your goals. ​I have worked with issues surrounding, anxiety, depression, trauma (including PTSD), low self esteem, stress, emotional management difficulties, phobias, OCD, relationship difficulties, and grief.

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling. Sometimes people come knowing exactly what they need; others simply feel stuck or overwhelmed. Anxiety, depression, trauma, complex PTSD, OCD, phobias, grief, low self-esteem, or difficulties in relationships are just some of the issues I can help with. I also have specialist experience supporting people with neurodevelopmental difference (autism, ADHD, tics, Tourette's syndrome). If you think you might be neurodivergent, I'm able to offer help. Whatever brings you here, I will listen without judgement and work with you to understand what you need.

As individuals, our life experiences are unique and personal, and influence how we show up in all aspects of our lives. Our experiences contribute to how we communicate in relationships, and how we think about ourselves and relate to those around us. Often these experiences can result in a positive view of self and fulfilling relationships, but what happens when they don’t? When we feel emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected, we may struggle communicating with our spouses or have difficulty building meaningful relationships. We may question our worth, struggle with feelings of confidence, and require external validation.

I work with people navigating varied experiences and needs, and I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds.

My work centres compassion, collaboration, and meaning‑making so you can move through the world with greater grounding within yourself.

Are you tired of putting on a brave face when inside you wish the world would just swallow you up at times? Perhaps you struggle to feel good about yourself, your body or your life and carry the burden of shame, regret or frustration about this. Maybe you dwell on the past, worry about the future or over-analyse everything you do harshly and critically. Do things all seem a bit grey sometimes? You might be in your head a lot & perhaps you've learnt ways to protect yourself or cope (that may be having unintended consequences). You may understandably long for life to feel pleasurable, hopeful and meaningful again.

You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by emotions, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or doubting yourself in relationships. You might feel disconnected, exhausted from trying to cope, or unsure why certain situations trigger strong reactions. Often these experiences are linked to earlier trauma, loss, or growing up in an environment where your needs were not consistently met. As a trauma-informed Counselling Psychologist, I offer a calm, supportive space to explore how these experiences continue to shape the way you feel and respond today.
