We all struggle from time to time with sudden changes, unwanted changes, debilitating changes, desired but postponed changes, empty-promised changes... An integrative therapy model offers that flexibility needed to be shifting between working in "here and now" as well as revisiting the past and exploring what triggers our pain and what can contribute to our healing. Together we shall co-create a safe space for honest conversations and self-reflections, which will enable deep discussions about what can we improve as well as how often we stay "stuck" or even sabotage ourselves from living an authentic & purposeful life.

I've worked for six years supporting people suffering with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, depression and various addictions. My extensive experience has shown me that these symptoms are often a response to distressing or painful situations which can come from all areas of life, perhaps difficult relationships, grief or troubling events. I strive to meet all my clients with unconditional positive regard, with compassion and empathy. I work alongside my clients to nurture a space where they feel they can bring all of themselves, and meet even the most painful or shamed parts without judgment or criticism.

I predominantly work with adolescents, adults, or families navigating challenges such as trauma, behavioural difficulties, communication breakdowns, or emotional dysregulation. They may struggle with anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, or negative thought patterns that affect their emotions and behaviour. Adolescents may seek a confidential space to feel heard, respected, and free to explore their thoughts and emotions, learning new ways to manage complicated feelings and relationships. A family may feel stuck in repetitive, unhelpful patterns and want to find new ways to improve their relationships and communication.

We often find that life will sooner, or later, challenge us with unexpected adjustments, psychological pain, turmoil, relationship difficulties and/or mental and physical health difficulties or traumas. Despite our significant resources we can find ourselves emotionally depleted, feeling overwhelmed or unable to manage our emotions adequately. We can be left struggling to believe in ourselves and lead a meaningful life.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, or the weight of cultural, family, or faith expectations, you’re not alone. I work with people from many different backgrounds who often feel caught between who they are and who they’ve been taught to be. You might be wanting more confidence, more clarity, and more space to be yourself. If that resonates, this could be a supportive space for you.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

Overwhelmed? Stuck? Procrastinating? Trouble with organisation, planning and prioritising. Struggling to get things done? Difficulty with time management? These are some ways in which ADHD manifests. It is often accompanied with other conditions such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and feelings of shame and blame. Additionally, unhelpful coping strategies may follow.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and can impact our lives profoundly. Struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. Our attempts to cope often draw from the same well that feeds the problem, making it difficult to change things alone. One of the many ways therapy works is by unlocking different thinking, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way.

Have you always felt different from the people around you? Maybe your mind never stops analysing, you get overwhelmed faster than others, or you’ve spent years masking just to fit in. You might be highly sensitive, autistic, ADHD, queer, or childfree, or simply someone who doesn’t have a "standard" way of life. From the outside it looks like you’ve got it all together, but you’ve started wondering if life really has to feel this hard.

Many of us will experience difficult moments in our lives which may leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I’m glad that you have taken the first step to seek support and share what has been going on for you. My aim is to provide a safe space for you to be able to express and understand how you have been feeling, in addition to helping you identify your personal strengths and resources. Some clients hope to gain specific tools and strategies to manage feelings such as low mood or anxiety, whilst others seek a space to talk openly about a particular situation and reflect on its impact on their day-to-day life and wellbeing.

As a UKCP-qualified psychotherapist with extensive experience in substance misuse and stress-related challenges, I am deeply committed to helping individuals break free from addiction and compulsion. I offer a free one-hour initial session to help you feel comfortable and confident as we get to know each other. My work is grounded in the belief that substance use often reflects unaddressed emotional pain or unresolved patterns. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, understand your triggers, and build the resilience needed for lasting change in a safe, compassionate space.
