Hi, I'm a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist, offering therapy to adults online across the UK and in St Helens, Merseyside.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or exhausted from holding everything together. Some are living with anxiety, trauma, or self-criticism. Others are navigating the emotional impact of physical health conditions, chronic symptoms, or pain.
My approach is calm, compassionate, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to talk openly, without pressure or judgement, and where change feels possible rather than overwhelming.
You don’t need to have a clear label or diagnosis to start therapy.
I work with adults experiencing:
Anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Trauma and distressing life experiences.
Low self-esteem, shame, or self-criticism.
Burnout.
Difficult life transitions or loss.
Physical health conditions.
Feeling disconnected from yourself or stuck in repeating patterns.
I use evidence-based psychological therapies, with a strong emphasis on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and trauma-informed care. This means we work not only with thoughts, but also with emotions and the body, helping you understand why certain patterns developed and how to respond to yourself with greater kindness. We work collaboratively, at your pace.

Groups
Root & Flow - a compassion-focused group
An online, small-group course that will support you to cultivate self-compassion, learn ways to ease emotional distress, and move forward alongside your inner critic towards a life in line with your values. Many adults struggle with a persistent inner critic. That voice that shames or undermines your confidence. The inner part that is often holding hands with anxiety, low self-esteem, or a history of trauma/s. This is a group is for people who want to not only better understand themselves, but move forwards despite emotional distress and anxiety, or patterns in life that feel restrictive
