I am a trained EMDR therapist and I also integrate other approaches such as mindfulness, humanistic and systemic therapies.
You may be feeling a bit lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or have been going through a difficult stage in life. Perhaps traumatic events or relationship difficulties have been affecting your self-esteem or causing low mood and anxiety. Whatever it is that you might have been working through, it can help to get professional support and be heard, acknowledged, and have someone navigate through it safely and mindfully with you.

Do you need a safe confidential place to speak openly, with someone neutral and non-judgemental? You may be looking to make some changes, or have a dilemma to talk through. Maybe you've lost a loved one or pet, feel isolated or stressed, or have a problem that's preventing you from moving forward. I work to understand things from your viewpoint, and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. I listen, understand, accept, and believe, and appreciate that talking about feelings is difficult. Being interactive means that you'll get much more than 'hmms' and 'uh-huhs' from me.

My approach is sensitive and flexible - using person-centered, CBT, Somatic CBT, Solution-focussed, mindfulness-based and gentle hypnotherapy approaches to help you explore, question, build a stronger relationship with yourself.
I help clients with stress, anxiety, panic, overwhelm, social anxiety, agoraphobia, worry, overthinking, insomnia, low self-esteem, low confidence, attachment issues, people-pleasing, boundaries, relationships, life crises, illness, bereavement and new beginnings. Working alongside or outside of mental health diagnoses and labels, I always work to your pace and comfort levels, and offer skills to help clients feel calmer, more confident, grounded, in control. We can work together to uncover how past events may have lead to your current issues, or alternatively focus solely on addressing current experiences.

Life can feel overwhelming when past experiences continue to shape how you think, feel, and respond. You may be living with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt or a sense of feeling stuck.
I understand the deep and lasting impact trauma and adversity can have on both the mind and body. Left unprocessed, these experiences can shape how you see yourself, others, and the world — often through a lens of fear, shame, or self-protection.
I offer a supportive space where we can untangle these patterns, so you're no longer viewing life through a trauma lens. I will help you reclaim your strength, clarity, and sense of direction.

Do you feel like you're wearing a mask and only those close to you, see the real 'you'? You find yourself constantly apologising and wondering what people think of you. Do you spend a lot of time preparing what to say in social situations or replaying an event over and over, considering how you came across? You now say "no" to things you want to do. You might also be neurodivergent and struggle to know if the feelings you experience are due to ADHD, autism or something else. All of this makes you feel low. You want things to change but you’re not sure where to begin and now your relationships, work, education are being affected.

I also integrate Compassion-Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy and mindfulness approaches, allowing work with both past experiences and longer-standing emotional patterns.
You may be seeking therapy because certain experiences continue to affect how you feel in the present. This might show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, disrupted sleep or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change. Even when you understand what has happened, the emotional or physical response can remain. EMDR therapy offers a way of processing these experiences so they feel less intrusive and no longer dominate daily life.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
