My website
I work with adults in Bristol and across the UK who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviours, stress, burnout or feeling stuck. I also support high-performing professionals, athletes and people navigating pressure, identity and work-life balance. Together, we explore the patterns holding you back and develop practical, sustainable ways to move forward at your pace. My background spans both therapy and business, giving me a broad understanding of the pressures, expectations and challenges that can affect our mental health and relationships.
I offer confidential, compassionate counselling and therapy in Bristol, London and online across the UK. I specialise in anxiety, relationships, addiction, behavioural patterns, stress and work-life balance. I also offer walking therapy, providing a different way to explore thoughts and emotions while moving.
Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. You don’t need to have all the answers. Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to make sense of what’s happening and begin creating meaningful change. Whatever you’re facing, you’ll be met with openness, respect and compassion. Its good to talk!

Through my therapy and business career, I've experienced a few of life's twists and turns. I apply this in my daily counselling practice to help others develop, overcome challenges, and find their way. I believe that conditions such as anxiety, feeling stuck, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, and addictive behaviour signal that something is preventing us from thriving.
