Taking the first step to seek support can feel daunting. I know that from my own experience, and I understand how difficult it can be to reach out when you're struggling. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, experiencing low mood, battling low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. I am a qualified CBT Therapist and my approach is friendly, down to earth and collaborative. We won't spend sessions sitting in silence, we'll work together to understand what's been happening, explore what's keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward.

CBT can help you understand the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Together we’ll explore what is keeping you feeling stuck and develop practical strategies to help you move forward. I believe every person has their own unique story, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs, working at a pace that feels right for you.

Experiencing therapy first hand inspired me to retrain as a counsellor. Therapy isn't just about overcoming difficulties; it's also about understanding yourself with greater compassion, making sense of the experiences that have shaped you, and discovering that positive change is possible. I bring empathy, compassion and hope to every session.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)

My main approach is CBT, we will work together to gently explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
