I offer a space where you can talk openly and be listened to without judgement. Together, we can begin to explore what may be going on beneath the surface, whether that’s linked to past experiences, relationships, or recurring emotional difficulties.
I work with a range of issues, including:
Anxiety and stress
Low Mood
Confidence and self-esteem
Relationship difficulties
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to feel unsure at first. My aim is to provide a calm, supportive environment where you can begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace.

As as a therapist, I offer the chance for a real relationship where you can feel seen and understood. Many of the people who come to see me have experienced abuse or other forms of harm in relationships, and I have particular experience supporting survivors of sexual violence. This includes helping if you are experiencing things like flashbacks or nightmares. Many others want to explore the relational patterns that they are in, and how to change these - whether that's struggling with trust, intimacy or conflict. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, and I welcome all gender identities and sexual orientations in my practice.

I did not become a therapist for no reason, and I know what it's like to experience anxiety, shame and self-hate, and to deeply believe in not being enough and to truly believe that others think that too. Therapy only started working when I found a therapist with whom I felt seen, heard and felt with. I am passionate about my work. I show up as human being first and a therapist second. I am down-to-earth, honest, and compassionate. If life feels too much, you don't have to face it alone. I am here to walk alongside you to help you as you find your way back, or maybe for the first time, to your true self.

Many of my clients appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, low, or stuck underneath. They may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Often these patterns developed in response to difficult or overwhelming experiences. I help them understand why they feel this way, make sense of their patterns, and begin to shift them so they can feel more confident, grounded, and in control.

Body Image Counsellors
How does body image affect mental health?
Poor body image can influence mental health because it can reduce self-esteem and decrease functioning in other areas of one's life. Negative body image may hinder someone's ability to perform daily tasks, including professional and social responsibilities, because they may feel self-conscious or shame surrounding their appearance; a desire to change one's body as a result of negative body image can also trigger behaviors such as extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or obsessive social media comparison. Poor body image is associated with a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, although many people experience negative body image even in the absence of meeting the diagnostic criteria for any mental health disorders.
What does it mean to have a positive body image?
Body image refers to how one internally perceives their appearance and internally "talks" to themself about their body. Positive body image is therefore indicative of a positive perception of one's self and positive internal self-talk that underscores one's strengths. People who have good body image often have higher self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence, and they also often recognise how external factors, such as social media or relationship patterns, can influence body image. While body image can change at different life stages and in response to various triggers, practicing self-acceptance and a body-positive mindset can help maintain a more stable sense of positive body image.
Is body image the same as self-esteem?
Body image and self-esteem are often related, but they are distinct concepts. Self-esteem is a broader term that can be shaped by a number of factors outside of body image, including one's functioning at school or in the workplace; it refers to one's capacity to handle various life challenges. Poor body image can be one way in which one's self-esteem is reduced. Reduced self-esteem as a result of poor body image can cause individuals to feel negative about their appearance, withdraw from social interactions, and/or rely on harmful behaviours as a coping mechanism. A "body positive" approach to body image therapy is therefore often used to encourage a more positive view of one's self and thus encourage better self-esteem.
What type of therapy is best to foster a positive body image?
The type of therapy best suited to improve body image depends on each person, as there is not a single therapy specific to body image improvement. That said, many individuals with poor body image benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be used to help challenge distorted or negative thoughts about one's body, while ACT and mindfulness practices can facilitate a more positive body image through self-acceptance and identification of one's personal strengths. Regardless of treatment type, clients should look for body image therapists who encourage the development of a sense of self outside of their external appearance and help clients reduce unwanted behaviours developed as a result of poor self-esteem, such as dieting or disordered eating patterns.
