You might be here because you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift. Maybe you’re struggling with low self‑esteem, feeling disconnected from yourself, or carrying a sense that something just isn’t right. These experiences can be exhausting and isolating, and at times may include thoughts of suicide.
My office space
If this is where you find yourself, I’m here to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we explore how your past and present experiences shape the way you feel, think, and respond. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centred on helping you meet yourself with compassion rather than self‑criticism.
As you get to know yourself more deeply, you can begin to make choices that support a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who you are. You’re not meant to carry everything by yourself. If you’re curious about working together, I’d be glad to hear from you.

It may feel as though your own mind is turning against you, presenting suicidal thoughts that are deeply distressing and difficult to confront. If you're in crisis, and feeling like you don't want to live anymore, I want to work with you. You do not have to keep these feelings hidden away or carry them alone. I want to support you to live rather than just survive.

I practice relational Gestalt therapy, focusing on what you notice in your body, and how your mind makes sense of your experience. I'm also really interested on what we create between us in the room, and how this informs how you live your life, individually and in your wider communities.
