Everybody has problems so why should you go for counselling? Problems are part of everyday life, we all encounter them and fortunately we are able to solve them the majority of the time without any intervention.
Counselling may be beneficial to you if problems become all consuming and start to affect your personal happiness, perhaps take up a high percentage of your thinking time or in fact prevent you from doing day to day things. Today's fast pace of life does not always offer time to reflect on how we are feeling or help us understand why we become unhappy, low in mood and no longer enjoy life.

Modern life is difficult and we can all easily find ourselves in situations where we are struggling.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic tasks, with you in control, we can move towards your goals on your path to wellness and good mental health.

My passion for wanting to support mums was borne out of my own difficult journey into motherhood. A challenging pregnancy and a traumatic birth followed by severe postnatal depression and PTSD fuelled my drive to working with mums to make their journeys more manageable and enjoyable. Having worked hard on recovering from this difficult start to motherhood, I went on to train as a counsellor at the University of Edinburgh (MSc) and Chrysalis (Postgraduate Diploma). I have completed numerous trainings on trauma - specifically birth trauma and continue to participate in CPDs to inform my practice as a perinatal mental health therapist

Diary Open for April/ May 2026 appointments.
I don’t believe you need an “ideal client” to come to therapy — just a human being who feels they could do with some support. Some come for support with feeling stuck, to help problem solve, others feel overwhelmed, stressed, or low mood. Perhaps you just need space to talk things through with someone who isn’t a friend or family. I offer a relaxed, safe place where you can slow down, be heard, and work together to find a way through. Therapy can be about learning tools, making sense of things, or simply having time to breathe and notice what you need.

Much of what has hurt us in life has happened in relationships with others. I know too, that relationships can also be a source of healing and that a therapeutic relationship can offer a chance to have a different experience of what relationships can be. I offer you a space to explore any issues that are important, or are of concern to you. My own experiences of life, and my personal journey and development, has given me an insight into myself and others that allows me to work in a compassionate and non-judgemental way

Beginning therapy can feel uncertain. I aim to make those first steps feel calm and supportive. I offer you a warm, steady, compassionate space where you can take a moment to pause and begin to reflect upon what’s been happening, find ways to move forward and make positive change. Come as you are.

I have worked with people suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, fertility/ pregnancy and/or postpartum issues, stress, addictions, relationship struggles, and also those who are generally looking to make a change in their life.
As a counsellor my approach is to be responsive and adaptive, and to offer each client their own tailored counselling experience. For some clients CBT is the best approach, and for others I have adopted a more integrative approach with a focus on multiple therapies, in a way which is most effective for my client.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming clinical psychologist and gender specialist. I work collaboratively with people who wish to gain a better understanding of their identity. I encourage people to understand these differences, learn to embrace them, and move forward from “stuck” places. Such experiences may include neurodivergence, gender differences, diagnosable mental health problems, interpersonal difficulties or existential crises. Therapy will help you process your distress and build the skills to manage these difficulties so that you can live a fuller, happier life.

We all face difficult times throughout our lives and sometimes we feel stuck. Seeking help is a good indication of wanting to improve. Working together we will look for ways to overcome the obstacles and find emotional balance again. In therapy, I use an integrative approach, which involves the use of a variety of methods in my practice. These include person-centered, solution-focused brief therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, among other approaches.

Hello and welcome — I'm glad you're here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I want to honour the courage it takes for you to take this first step. Many of my clients come to me when they feel stuck — in anxiety, self-doubt, relationship patterns, loneliness, or the pressure to “hold everything together.” You might notice repeating cycles you don’t know how to break, or feel disconnected from yourself and unsure of what you really want. In our sessions, we slow down together, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and create space for clarity, strength, and new possibilities to emerge.

We all encounter times in our lives where we may feel anxious, sad, angry, or stuck in a pattern of unhelpful behaviour. This can impact our day to day lives, our relationship with ourselves and our relationship with others.
We know that something must change but might not be entirely sure how to move forward.
By offering a warm, safe and supportive space I can help you. I use a blend of psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy to support people in understanding themselves more deeply and feeling more grounded and present in everyday life.

Sex is more than physical—it’s psychological, emotional, and deeply personal. Let’s explore what that means for you.

As a psychotherapist, my priority is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work collaboratively, tailoring therapy to each individual by using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside integrative techniques. My aim is to help clients develop practical tools for navigating challenges, while also fostering deeper insight and lasting change.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
