Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift? Are past experiences — trauma, grief, or difficult relationships — still affecting you today? You don’t have to face it alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space, where you can feel truly heard, and where you can explore what you’re feeling and why, and begin moving forward. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and shaped to your individual needs. We’ll go at your pace, uncovering patterns, building resilience, and working toward lasting change.
I’ve worked in mental health since the late 1990s, starting as a registered NHS mental health nurse and later training as a psychotherapist. I offer a relational, integrative approach, drawing on CAT, REBT, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and EFT. My experience of faith and 12-step recovery informs a compassionate space for acceptance and growth.
I work with people facing trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction, and questions of meaning. As someone in long-term recovery and a practising Catholic, I support clients exploring faith, spirituality, and mental health. I offer a warm, respectful space where both soul and psyche are welcome.
