I am a pluralistically trained therapist which allows me to use a variety of theories and techniques to tailor therapy to support your needs. I believe that you are the expert on your life and in your story, and you already possess the inner strength that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you - you may only need reminding! Taking the first step in seeking how to make changes in your life takes courage. My role is to support and guide you in this process through psychoeducation and a safe, informal, non-judgmental space where you are always welcomed and encouraged to come as you are and with however you feel!

I also have experience supporting clients with men’s issues, addiction, neurodiversity, trauma, identity, and anxiety/depression.
With a warm, collaborative style and a therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding, I aim to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can pause, reflect, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your relationships, as well as working towards more specific goals where this feels important.

Hello! I healed myself from Severe PTSD, fibromyalgia & long-covid. Now I offer a tailored, neuroscience-based method for senior leaders and high-performing individuals operating at the highest levels of responsibility. At a certain level, the challenge is no longer external. It is not strategy. It is not capability. It is not experience. It is how you operate internally under sustained pressure, complexity, and change. At this level, the next step is not doing more. It is removing what interferes with: Clarity; stability; adaptability & your ability to remain fully yourself under pressure.

I am a Person-centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering sessions for individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, loss, life's major changes and symptoms of trauma. Whether you're facing the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, feeling tense, disconnected, or caught in cycles of fear and worry, I provide a calm, compassionate space where you can speak freely and feel truly heard. In addition to Counselling, I use Focusing and elements of Somatic Therapy, approaches that help you tune into your body’s natural wisdom as a way of processing and releasing what has been held inside.

I am an experienced therapist & clinical supervisor who believes in creating a safe space for us to bring vulnerabilities & challenges. Living inevitably means that we face challenges and experiences can get stuck and leave us struggling to cope, or to be at our best. Slowing down, understanding what we do, and being aware can help us to live in a healthier way - I aim to help people clear a path for better flow in life and work. I value a healthy baseline - moving & eating well, sleeping soundly, making contact with nourishing people, and living with awareness. I offer Gestalt and DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) approaches.

A strong, trusting relationship is, I believe, what makes therapy, therapeutic. Part of my role is to offer the conditions; empathy, acceptance and genuineness which are at the root of cultivating therapeutic alliance. By offering these conditions, I will meet you as a whole person and remain open and curious to what you feel you want to bring to the session. I do not perceive myself as the expert of your life, you are. I will encounter you in the sessions, holding my understanding that you are of inherent worth and value.

I have extensive experience of working with clients who idenitfy as LGBTQIA+ as well as those from other marginalised groups, including those affected by addictions and trauma.
Every individual has their own unique journey towards self-acceptance. In our work together, I will help you gain deeper insight into the challenges you are facing and consider ways to bring about meaningful change. We will mutually agree on a pace that feels right for you to start looking more deeply into what is causing you to suffer. Together, we'll explore ways to challenge negative or harmful patterns and identify healthier alternatives. My approach is primarily person-centered, though I may also draw from other therapeutic styles using a holisitic/psychospiritual lens to support the shift towards healing the whole self.

I specialise in working with a generation of young people who often struggle with anxiety, poor self-esteem, loneliness and tech addiction, who need a supportive and non-judgemental space to navigate life's challenges.
If you're Gen Z then you already know how challenging it can be to deal with family, social and study issues at the best of times, let alone when things start going wrong. As a therapist who is separate to the main people in your life, I aim to provide you with a weekly online space where you can explore freely what's on your mind, in a confidential setting.
