You or your child might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by low mood, or stuck in patterns of overthinking. Relationships may feel difficult, or you might notice how past experiences or trauma are still affecting how you feel about yourself and others. It can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure what to do next. If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. I’m a registered Clinical Psychologist with around 10 years’ experience working in both NHS and private settings. I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, and the impact of trauma.
I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and at your own pace. I draw on a range of approaches (including CBT, ACT, CFT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, and CAT-informed work), and will tailor sessions to you, whether that’s finding ways to manage anxiety, lifting low mood, improving relationships, or working through past experiences.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, especially if you’ve been dealing with things on your own. Therapy can be a space where you feel heard and understood, and where things can start to feel a bit clearer over time. If you’d like to explore working together, you’re very welcome to get in touch when you feel ready.
