Are intrusive thoughts, anxiety or past experiences stopping you from living the life you want?
I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP) and Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with over 15 years' experience supporting adults with anxiety disorders, OCD and trauma-related difficulties.
OCD can be particularly isolating. Many people worry that their intrusive thoughts say something about who they are, or find themselves caught in exhausting cycles of checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals or avoidance. I have significant experience helping adults break free from these patterns using CBT and ERP.

You don’t need to have everything figured out — but if you’re tired of pretending you do, this is the space for you.
There are times when life just piles up, and it can feel exhausting to keep going. Perhaps you're the one everyone always relies on. You might be feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or running on empty. If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to work it out on your own. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can take off the mask, be yourself, and feel genuinely listened to — no pressure, no “right” words, just starting where you are.
I can offer sessions in Spanish if that feels more comfortable for you.

Life can be hard at times, and you may find yourself struggling with painful emotions, anxiety, or a difficult relationship with yourself. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure why things feel so heavy, even if you can’t point to one clear reason.
People come to see me for many different reasons, but often with a shared sense that something in their inner world or relationships has become painful or hard to navigate alone. I aim to offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and explore your experience at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, addictions, PTSD, phobias and issues around self-esteem. I invite clients to shape and set goals (these are often added to!) and we work together to reach them. Sometimes problems have gone on for years; sometimes they are new and acute. In both cases they can be resolved: clients move towards a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and happy. In the past year I have helped children, young people and adults, whose ages range from 8 to 85 years. Every session, from the very first, focuses on gaining understanding and making progress.

You might be feeling a little lost, or noticing that life feels heavier than it once did. Anxiety, low mood, or past experiences may still linger — or there may simply be a sense that something isn’t quite right. However it shows up for you, you don’t have to face it alone.
When confidence feels fragile, reaching out can be hard. Finding the words isn’t always easy. Therapy can offer a calm, gentle space to pause — where there’s no pressure to explain or have anything figured out.
If you’re unsure about therapy or taking a first step, that’s okay. When you’re ready, you’ll be met with warmth, care, and understanding.

With lived experience of anxiety, I offer therapy that is warm, compassionate and grounded in real understanding, with a particular interest in supporting those affected by Boarding School Syndrome.
I’m a young‑spirited woman in my fifties, and I’ve been working as a therapist for thirteen years — with the last five spent in private practice. As someone who has lived through many years of mental health difficulties myself, including severe anxiety, I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. That lived experience is a big part of why I’m so passionate about helping others work through their own challenges.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.
