You may feel weighed down by past experiences, anxious or low, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. Perhaps you’ve tried coping on your own or even had therapy before, but something still feels unresolved. You might struggle in relationships, feel disconnected, or simply know that life could feel lighter. My clients are those who long to understand themselves more deeply, heal from the past, and create calmer, more fulfilling lives.
I specialise in trauma, anxiety, low mood, and attachment challenges. Using EMDR, CBT, DDP, and IFS, I tailor therapy to your unique needs. My style is warm and compassionate, balancing practical strategies with deeper healing. Together, we’ll move at your pace toward change that feels safe, lasting, and meaningful.
Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to feel calmer, more connected, and supported in making meaningful change, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. Take the first step toward the lighter, more hopeful future you deserve.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, or the lasting effects of trauma and difficult relationships. In our early sessions, we'll explore your experiences and agree a plan that feels achievable. Therapy may involve EMDR, CBT, IFS, or DDP. Many clients notice a sense of relief and clarity within the first few weeks, with deeper, lasting change developing over time.
