When there is an imbalance in your self-esteem or confidence it can lead to things like anxiety, stress, depression, anger, panic attacks or even relationship problems.
Perhaps you are struggling with trauma, low self-esteem, confidence issues, knowing your worth or perhaps unable to set boundaries? I am qualified in EMDR. EMDR will help you process traumatic memories that seem to be stuck or holding you back. Do you feel like you always come last and need to prioritise yourself? Maybe you don't feel understood or heard? I can help with that – change is possible! With the right space, support and time you can learn tools to help with day to day functioning. Therapy can help you accept your past and get clarity on the future.

I offer individual therapy to address any type of mental health issue such as depression, interpersonal problems, trauma, anxiety, stress, abuse, and self-esteem issues.
I am trained across a broad range of therapeutic models which means I can tailor therapeutic intervention to your individual needs. This is achieved by undergoing an initial assessment, which enables both of us to get an understanding of the difficulties and most importantly, a plan for going forward.

If you're overwhelmed by painful self-criticism, stress, anxiety, loneliness, weariness meeting exhausting standards or low mood, I can help you find new insight and develop your skills in self-care and any others relevant to your needs and goals.
Everybody needs to be really heard and understood. Counselling with me, someone entirely outside your social network, means you can unburden freely, knowing I'll truly listen and be on your side. If you’re struggling with a painful loss, life transition or any other challenge and are feeling miserable, anxious, angry or confused, I can help you detangle ideas, learn to manage feelings and decide if, or what, you want to change. I can support you to recover your confidence, optimism, sense of self and direction. I'll help you to recognise and build your strengths and resources, including those you perhaps aren’t aware of right now.

My specialisms are in the areas of work related stress (including imposter syndrome) and anxiety and depression.
I work with individuals (18+) who are seeking to increase their self awareness and to better understand how they think, feel and act. My therapeutic approach can help you take notice of unhelpful relational patterns that feel automatic and cause distress, worry and self doubt. As you progress in therapy, you will feel more able to respond to stressors with greater flexibility and confidence. This frees you up to think and act in a manner that serves your needs better and helps you achieve the sustainable balance you seek.
