Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply “okay” — yet deep down, many sense it could be better. Clients often come seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or bereavement/grief, or to navigate transitions such as relationships, parenting, retirement, or loss. Others want to strengthen communication, repair or deepen connections, or explore echoes of childhood experiences that still shape adult life. Counselling offers a safe space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect — helping you build resilience, find clarity, and move towards greater fulfilment and self‑understanding.

Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your own? You might be the person everyone relies on, but inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, or running on empty. It’s hard to admit you are struggling when you are used to being the one who "just gets on with it." ​Perhaps you lie awake at night overthinking, or feel a constant sense of dread. You might also notice you are turning to alcohol, gambling, or other habits to numb the stress, and worry these mechanisms are taking control. You want to feel calm again and regain control over your life, but you don't know how to stop the cycle ​

I am a psychologist and academic teacher. I have completed postgraduate studies in forensic psychology and psychotraumatology in Poland. I have experience working with clients with depression, bereavement, anxiety, and self-harming behavior. I run an individual practice, adapting therapy methods to client needs. The age of the client isn't important to me, it's just a number, what matters is the interior of a person. My priority is to develop simple solutions that can be used in everyday life to improve your thinking and lifestyle. I want to help each client understand their inner world and cope with difficulties.

I am a mindfulness psychotherapist and EMDR therapist providing weekly online therapy sessions. I am passionate about the power of psychotherapy in helping us develop greater self-awareness, compassion and acceptance. It supports us in moving away from living our lives in survival mode to thriving in life and being able to access more joy and freedom. We will work together to explore and unpack the patterns of thought, core beliefs and behaviours that are preventing you from living your life fully and authentically.

Whether you’re a caregiver, a high achiever, or someone who simply feels emotionally exhausted, you’re not alone. I work with people who are ready to move beyond coping and begin healing in a way that feels grounded, sustainable, and real. Feel free to contact me for a 15 minute call. My approach integrates evidence-based CBT with a deep respect for your lived experience.

Life at times can be challenging and we can all feel the need for help and support, whether it be relationship problems, work, bereavement, trauma, emotional/sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, these can all have a massive effect on the quality of our life and if ignored, in some cases can result in various addictions as coping strategies. I believe everyone deserves the right to be treated as unique individuals and I can offer you that safe place to explore your feelings and reflect upon your life in a confidential, genuine and non-judgemental setting.

Let's face it, life can be a struggle. As we do our best to navigate our way through there are times when we come to the end of our own resources. It's ok to ask for help and that might be very thing that gives you a different perspective on your situation. Your circumstances may not change but how you think about them can. You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from counselling. You may feel that your life is not as you expected it to be. Counselling can give you the space to visualise your dreams and understand the parts that have been holding you back from living your best life.
