Sometimes we live with our pain, burnout or distress for so long that it just becomes normal, leaving us feeling stuck, helpless or ashamed. Reaching out for help can feel like a momentous task, but once that step has been taken, you are telling yourself that you are capable and deserving of so much more. As an experienced therapist, I work with my clients to identify and work through the problems they face in daily life. From those who are dealing with life altering struggles and those who are carrying the weight of the world each day - change can be possible.

Anxiety, stress, depression, low self-worth, or the weight of being misunderstood can build up until it feels impossible to cope.
I’m a neurodivergent, queer and trans therapist. I know what it’s like to feel anxious, overwhelmed, low or just plain exhausted by trying to exist in a world that isn’t designed with us in mind. The things that affect you often affect me too — I don’t sit above you as “the expert.” Instead, I bring my own lived experience alongside my training and tools as a therapist. My style is relaxed and friendly, with space for humour and honesty as much as gentleness. If you’ve ever felt like you have to explain yourself or translate your experience, this is a space where you don’t have to.

I have ten years of experience working therapeutically with people who came to face difficulties ranging from anxiety, depression, to issues related to complex trauma.
I am a Senior Psychologist offering compassionate and deeply relational psychological therapy, both short- and long-term. People often seek support when feeling stuck, overwhelmed, helpless, or highly self-critical. Sometimes clients describe that they cannot get out of patterns of distressing behaviours, thoughts, or emotions, and that relating to both themselves and others seems difficult, painful, or interferes with daily life and future commitments. I listen carefully, we explore their stories, find ways of understanding. I do not believe in a magical fix, but we all can become more ourselves finding appropriate choices.

My skills as Cognitive Behavioural Therapist include proficient assessment of individuals cognitive and behavioural patterns, formulation and implementation of tailored treatment plans, effective communication to build therapeutic rapport, and utilising evidence-based techniques for anxiety and depression, and various mental health issues.
Our journey through life can be rough at times, and when that happens it’s healthy to get a little support. It can be overwhelming to do everything alone, so taking a moment to express ourselves to a professional and empathetic CBT therapist can make a great difference in our lives. My effectiveness as a therapist stems from empathetic listening, genuine compassion, and a non-judgemental attitude. The ability to establish a trusting therapeutic alliance creates a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions.
