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.

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.

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.

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.

I can take private paying clients, and I am a provider with Aviva, AXA Health and WPA and can bill your insurance directly for approved claims if you wish to use your insurance for therapy.
The starting point for how I work is that we are all doing the best we can with what life throws our way. I work with people navigating varied experiences and needs, and I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. I’m especially interested in supporting those whose histories have been marked by harm or marginalisation, those caught in patterns shaped by unequal conditions, and those wanting to regulate their nervous system or build more attuned relationships. My work centres compassion, collaboration, and meaning‑making so you can move through the world with greater grounding within yourself.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift.
Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for others, while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, or the impact of past experiences
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I work with people who have experienced trauma in many forms—whether from childhood, relationships, family issues, work, or life events that left a lasting impact. Often, this trauma shows up in the present as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, low self-worth, or feeling “stuck.”
