I offer integrative therapy grounded in CBT and PCT approaches, drawing on DBT, ACT, CFT, and EFT.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, stress, or self doubt. Some are finding relationships difficult, experiencing intense emotions, or noticing patterns of behaviour that feel hard to understand or change. Others may be navigating questions around identity, confidence, or a sense of feeling stuck, while some are living with the impact of past or recent trauma. Often, there is a desire to make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. To understand themselves more deeply, step out of unhelpful cycles, and feel more grounded, connected, and fulfilled in everyday life.

Working as a relational and psychosexual therapist, I see it as a responsibility to be trained in or familiar with several treatment approches; for instance, drawing on psychodynamic, narrative and systemic family therapies in managing difference, CBT in psychosexual therapy, or compassion and sensorimotor therapy in trauma.
Most of us need someone in our lives to feel safe and close to, and who will want that with us. A good relationship is being close enough to feel seen and heard, while having enough space to maintain a sense of agency and choice. But in life that balance is sometimes hard to find or sustain. We get stuck, or feel isolated or frightened. That's when therapy is important, to help you explore relational questions in a safe in judgemental way, to work out what is best for you.

I work with individuals and couples to explore the personal meaning of their experiences, navigate existential questions, and understand relational patterns that shape how they connect with themselves and others. I support clients in recognising their needs, values, and desires, while examining how lived experiences, worldviews, and societal influences shape assumptions, beliefs, and ways of relating, fostering self-awareness, insight, and the capacity for conscious, meaningful choices.

I’m an integrative CBT therapist specialising in trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step—but you don’t have to do it alone. In our first session, we’ll explore what’s brought you here and how your challenges are affecting your life. Difficulties like anxiety or low mood don’t have to rule you—you can gain more understanding and control. We’ll focus on building self-awareness, as gaining insight into your needs, patterns, and emotions is a powerful first step toward gaining control and creating meaningful change. That journey can begin with a conversation.
