You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained—and unsure how to move through it. Maybe you’ve been carrying anxiety, low self-esteem, or unresolved trauma for longer than you’d like to admit. Perhaps you've tried to manage things on your own, but it’s no longer working, and you're realising it’s time for something to change. You want to feel more in control, more present, and more connected—to yourself and to those around you. You’re looking for someone who will really listen, without judgement, and help you make sense of your experience. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're in the right place.
I offer a warm, steady, trauma‑informed space for people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in old patterns. Alongside talking therapy, I specialise in EMDR — a gentle, effective approach that helps the mind process experiences that feel “stuck” or continue to affect you. EMDR doesn’t require you to retell everything in detail.
If you’re feeling ready to explore what’s been weighing on you, I’d be glad to walk alongside you. You're welcome to get in touch for a free 15-minute phone consultation. It's a chance to ask questions, discuss what you're looking for, and explore whether counselling, psychotherapy or EMDR could be a good fit for your needs.
