You may know exactly what you want to work through or just feel you're not the person you want to be. Trauma responses, OCD, a phobia or social anxiety might be getting the better of you, or you may have no one to talk to in confidence. How we each feel is unique and experienced individually. I have a personalised approach that is caring, sensitive and you can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged whatever is in your life now or in the past. Together we can manage difficult times in your life, make sense of challenges, understand patterns and find ways to create meaningful positive change.

It is just human to respond with hurt, shame, anxiety, or by feeling lost, stuck, and depressed.
My approach offers a creative and stimulating space for you to create a more meaningful life and explore new ways of approaching your relationships with yourself, others, and the world. It begins by learning who and how you are, and then collaboratively we can shape ways in which you can grow, heal and evolve.

Not all difficulties are visible from the outside, nor fully resolved by competence, success, or endurance. Many people who come to my practice are highly capable, carrying responsibility, pressure, and often more than others realise. Others feel privately stuck despite outward stability. Difficulties may relate to trauma, dissociation, compulsive coping, childhood neglect, abuse, military service, or demanding professional or home environments. Having worked in the Square Mile, and been a stay at home Mum, I understand pressured cultures and help clients address what remains unresolved so life can move forward more freely.

I can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
I am deeply committed to supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse/assult and domestic violence, because I believe in the incredible resilience and strength that survivors possess. The effects of trauma can feel overwhelming and isolating, but I have seen how the process of therapy can foster healing, restore hope, and rebuild a sense of control.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement, or gender dysphoria or maybe part of the LGBT community – these are some areas I specialise in.
I only work online - and work worldwide except USA and Canada. I just I love working as an online therapist and I invite you to work with me online, whatever your issues, needs or goals might be. You may live abroad or have difficulty accessing help or just prefer seeing someone online, or you may be struggling with shame and want to work with the video turned off or by live chat - text based. I am happy to work with you using the format you prefer - I am even qualified as an avatar therapist if you'd like to try this. Online work can be very rewarding and creative.

I have lived experience of transgender identities, as my son is transgender. I have witnessed the high mental health conditions, suicidal ideation, including self-harm, and loss faced by LGBT+ individuals that I have counselled, along with the hurdles my son has encountered during his transition. I would like to walk with you along your pathway, and consider myself privileged to do so.
