I work with adults and adolescents (13+) navigating the challenges of
anxiety & depression, bereavement & loss, low self-esteem and relationships.
I believe that therapy should be a calm, supportive space to slow things down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. My approach is warm and tailored entirely to your needs because I know real change only happens when you feel safe, heard and not judged.

Do you feel a bit lost, frustrated, down or hopeless and unsure of how to make changes? Perhaps you feel like you are repeating the same life patterns. You may feel like you have tried everything and are on your last attempt. Well done for taking this step as I understand how daunting it can be, having done so myself. Lots of people are unsure of what to expect, fear being judged, or have difficulty opening up. I believe we could all benefit from therapy at times. How often do you have someone listen entirely to you in life? Choosing the right therapist can be overwhelming and its important we connect first in a free 15 minute call.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, taking too much responsibility, feeling “not good enough” or emotionally disconnected. Anxiety, low mood or the impact of past experiences may be leaving you exhausted and unsure of who you are beneath these patterns. You may want more than just coping — you want to understand where these patterns come from and how to move towards a more grounded, confident and authentic way of being.

Many people reach out when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy. There may be moments of clarity and moments of uncertainty, and both can feel hard to navigate on your own. I offer a calm, steady space where things can slow down enough for you to explore what feels difficult, including the parts of your experience that may be uncomfortable or unclear. Through a humanistic integrative approach, we pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns in the present moment, while also gently exploring how earlier experiences may shape how you protect yourself or connect with others today.

I work with people who feel a bit stuck, a bit lost, or just a bit “what even is this?”
I specialise in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent professionals who are juggling too much and feeling too little.

Therapy with me is about making sense of the mess, the mood swings, the “why am I like this?” moments. We talk. We laugh (sometimes). We gently poke at the hard stuff—grief, identity, low self-worth, burnout—and figure out what’s underneath.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
