Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe you're constantly overthinking, feeling low, or just not like yourself lately. You might be managing work, relationships, or daily life on the outside, but inside, something feels off. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout create more space to breathe, reflect, and feel like themselves again. Whether you’re dealing with racing thoughts, low energy, emotional numbness, or simply the sense that you’re no longer coping in the way you used to, I can help.
I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you, whether that’s making sense of emotions, finding strategies that help, or building a more balanced relationship with yourself.
I work with adults (18+) both online across the UK and in-person in Gillingham, Medway, offering flexible daytime and evening sessions. If you’re unsure where to start, I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions and see if I might be the right fit for you.

I use an integrative approach, drawing on CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic theory, and tailor therapy to your unique needs. In our first session, we'll explore what's brought you here and what you'd like to change.
