I support individuals that feel like they are in a complete rut. You've tried the books, the videos the podcasts but mentally nothing seems to be shifting. You might have found my listing because you are absolutely exhausted from keeping it together, trying and nothing working. Perhaps you've spent years feeling misunderstood, whether that's due to ADHD, autism, difficult life experiences, or ongoing challenges with your mental health. You may be carrying self-doubt, anxiety, overwhelm, or a sense that you've somehow lost yourself along the way. If any of this resonates with you, please know you're not alone.
I have varied experience working in inpatient and community mental health. I often hear 'im beyond help' or 'there are worse off'. Neither of these put you first. I will put you first and together we can find hope, a life that feels safe, comfortable and where you can walk with confidence again.
Therapy can feel daunting, especially if you are unsure what to expect. Some clients find it liberating to speak to someone they do not know, while others feel nervous or unsure where to begin. Whichever feels true for you, I will support you through the process at a pace that feels right, helping you understand what to expect.

My approach is integrative, drawing from person-centred, attachment-informed, CBT, and creative approaches. This means I tailor therapy to you, providing a warm, non-judgemental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we may explore past experiences, identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and build greater confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.
