I support people who feel stuck in challenging patterns with food and body image, trapped by panic attacks, or avoid places because of anxiety. I also work in an affirmative way with LGBTQIA+ people with a range of difficulties. I offer a warm, supportive space where therapy is grounded in research and delivered in a compassionate, genuine, and human way. Our work is led by what matters to you; your experiences, values, and preferences. All of my work is trauma informed, and highlights the impact of trauma on our thinking, coping, emotions, and bodies. We make sense of 'what happened to you', rather than 'what is wrong with you'.
No one is 'broken', and we all have the ability to heal. We focus on changes we can make now to ease the impact of the past, find new ways to cope, and (re)connect with a more positive sense of self and wellbeing. I believe any level of pain or suffering deserves time, space and care, and I work with you at your pace, to find the best ways to ease this pain.
I know how important it is to feel as safe as possible in therapy, and to find a therapist you feel understands you and you can connect with. I offer a free, no obligation intro call, to see if we think we'll work well together. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call!

I mostly use cognitive behavioural therapy, but also draw on compassion focused therapy and mindfulness when we think this would be helpful . I have completed further specialised trainings, such as CBT for Eating Disorders, including Avoidant/Restrive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and adapting CBT for autistic thinking. I understand and am informed by the impact of trauma in all of my work.
