Many of the people who find their way to me live visible, expressive lives while carrying pressure that isn’t always seen. They are often creatives, performers, or LGBTQ+ professionals — emotionally aware and capable, yet privately dealing with self-doubt, burnout, anxiety, or disconnection. They may be used to holding things together for others while having little space to explore how they actually feel. Some are navigating identity or intimacy; others feel stuck in patterns that no longer fit. I also work with people living with or affected by HIV, where stigma, fear, and survival can sit quietly beneath the surface.
My work is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA) and relational psychotherapy. I offer a reflective, collaborative space to explore patterns that shape your relationships, creativity, and sense of self. Therapy with me is calm, non-performative, and paced to suit you, rather than clinical or prescriptive. I work online with adults across the UK.
You don't need the right words or clear goals to begin therapy. Often it starts with a sense that something feels heavy or unresolved. If you are used to being relied upon or expected to hold things together, therapy can offer a space where you don't have to perform. We begin with a brief introductory conversation to see whether working together feels right.
