People often come to me when they feel stuck in patterns —especially in relationships, emotions, or how they cope with life. You might look as if you’re managing on the outside, but inside feel anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many people I work with are living with the impact of trauma, struggling with relationship difficulties, or feeling that life has lost meaning or direction, I have worked in mental health since the late 1990s, initially as a registered mental health nurse, and later as a psychotherapist. Therapy helps you understand these patterns, so you can start changing how you relate to yourself and others.
I offer psychotherapy for trauma, relationship difficulties, and issues around meaning, identity, and emotional wellbeing. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and informed by EFT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, and somatic approaches. I focus on helping you notice and shift the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to work it out alone. Therapy can give you a clearer sense of what’s happening and why, in a way that feels contained and understandable. From there, change becomes more possible.
