My approach as a Therapist is calm, grounded, and collaborative. I work as a Psychotherapist/Counsellor and I am a Registered Nurse. I support individuals who are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, and the effects of abuse. I also work with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps, including those navigating the emotional and psychological impact of menopause. In addition, support is offered to clinicians and healthcare professionals experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, or a loss of confidence at work.
I draw on Transactional Analysis alongside mindfulness and meditation to help build insight, emotional regulation, and personal growth. TA offers a practical and compassionate way of understanding how early experiences can influence the way we think, feel, and relate to others. I hold specialist experience of working with survivors of sexual abuse.
My work is flexible and attuned, with respect for each person’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and communicating. I offer a free 15-minute online consultation to explore whether working together feels like a good fit. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful and effective therapy. Sessions are available in person or online.
