You may have spent years trying to push down what happened, telling yourself it wasn’t that bad or that you should be over it by now. Perhaps you've built a life, stayed busy, or looked after others—yet deep down, something still doesn’t feel right. Maybe you struggle with trust, setting boundaries, or feeling safe in your own body. Certain situations might trigger fear, shame, or sadness, and you don’t fully understand why. You might even question whether what happened to you really counts as trauma. If any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I use a range of clinical models (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Schema focused therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, EMDR, trauma focused CBT, relational & attachment based approaches) to support the range of issues that can show up including, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, shame, relationship issues, PTSD, complex trauma, insomnia, OCD and burnout.
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and have spent my career in Adult Mental Health services in the NHS, supporting people individually and in groups. My clinical practice aims to foster increased psychological flexibility to support becoming more emotionally open, cognitively flexible, aware in the present moment and actively engaged in a meaningful life. Between life’s busyness and navigating struggles we can become disconnected from ourselves and what matters to us, spending our days trying to cope rather than living. With compassion we can create a space, a gap within the struggle, to heal and reconnect with your life.

I also integrate other therapeutic perspectives into my work including Compassion based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy and Trauma focused therapy.
Looking for a counsellor is already a brave step. My hope for you, is that we can explore whats distressing you, what’s maintaining it and how we can bring about positive change. Anxiety, Low Mood and Relationship struggles amongst others, are all issues we can face at various times in our life. Understanding ourselves better and how to best cope can begin to alleviate the discomfort felt in emotional distressing times. Therapy provides a safe space to explore what's keeping you stuck, what's driving it and how to unlock yourself from thinking and behaviours that no longer serve you.
