Counselling in OX1
Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether you’re battling anxiety, struggling with relationships, carrying the weight of past trauma, or simply feeling stuck. You don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can make sense of what’s happening, develop new ways of coping, and move towards lasting change.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist, trained in psychodynamic, person-centred, and CBT approaches. Underpinning all my therapeutic work is the knowledge that it is ultimately the quality of the relationship between client and therapist - that's you and me - that heals.

Seeking help can be overwhelming, especially for the first time. You may be used to feeling misunderstood, unheard, or unimportant. I aim to help you feel safe and provide a place where you can talk about what's troubling you, without fear of judgment.
I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor: I tailor sessions to your wants and needs, and help you find your strengths as well as work through your struggles. Therapy can be hard at times, but it needn't be boring: I encourage creativity, humour, and bringing your own personality into the room!

Hi Welcome to my profile. I know it takes courage to reach out for help. Having counselling or psychotherapy is a big step towards feeling better, and making sense of why things are the way they are. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, low self esteem or lack of confidence, relationship trauma, fertility problems, ADHD diagnosed or not, I can help.
I love to help with finding life purpose, feeling lost at any age. I am also passionate about helping you to develop a strong sense of self, emotional regulation and mindful approach to life. I will help you to pinpoint what is holding you back, and steps to focus on.

Feeling lost, burnt out, or like you’ve fallen behind? If you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s and wondering “How did I end up here?” — you’re in the right place.
Do you feel unheard, overwhelmed, a loss of self or confidence, stuck in unhelpful coping mechanisms or patterns? Do you feel like your worth is tied to pleasing others, or how useful or 'perfect' you can be? Do you feel like your past is impacting your present? Is your inner critic running the show?
I work with women who are tired of holding it all together, of living in survival mode and meeting everyone else's needs but your own.

Are you feeling a growing distance in your relationship — lonely, unheard, or going round in the same difficult patterns? Maybe communication has broken down, trust feels shaky, or life just feels overwhelming and it’s starting to affect how you connect with the people around you. You don’t have to work it out on your own.
Relationships can be a real source of comfort, but when things aren’t working, it can feel confusing and painful, and it often spills into other areas of life. You might be dealing with conflict at home, a relationship ending, anxiety, low mood, or just a constant sense that things don’t feel quite right.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or low mood, or noticing how past experiences continue to affect your relationships, emotions or sense of safety. Trauma can leave the nervous system feeling constantly on edge, disconnected or caught in responses that are hard to shift alone. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gently understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin to feel more grounded and supported within yourself.

You may be thoughtful and capable yet feel stuck in confusing relationship patterns, family dynamics, or emotional situations that leave you worn down. Many people come to therapy feeling they carry too much responsibility for others or struggle to trust their own perceptions. I work with individuals and couples to understand what keeps happening in their relationships and find clearer, steadier ways forward.

Often, we’re so busy keeping the wheels turning that we don't notice the engine is stalling. I help men look 'under the bonnet' to understand what’s driving their stress, anger, or anxiety.
Whether it’s burnout from a high-pressure career or struggling with a sense of loss, I provide a down-to-earth, jargon-free space to figure things out. With 13 years of experience and a background in the corporate world, I understand that you want practical solutions, not just talk.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve ever felt misunderstood or dismissed in traditional settings, or unsure how to express yourself. Many neurodivergent clients find that previous therapy hasn’t fully understood their experience. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and accommodating space where you can feel understood and valued exactly as you are.
I work with an integrative approach, placing you at the heart of therapy in a safe, judgment-free space. My approach is flexible and fluid, adapting to your unique needs and preferences.
