I'm a therapist with a background in mental health nursing, offering a safe, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your story. I have a particular interest in childhood trauma and how early experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Often, the strategies we develop to survive difficult beginnings, while once protective, can become patterns that cause pain in our present lives and relationships. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma, family difficulties, and narcissistic abuse.

At times we all find it hard to cope and need a little help to get back on track. I believe that therapy can help anyone to transform their life. I believe in the human potential for change and improvement and the importance of personal growth. Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, confused knowing there must be more to life but feeling stuck in survival. Maybe you feel in the depths of despair with feelings of stress, depression and anxiety or recently grieving from a bereavement or loss. You know changes need to be made and seeking a safe supportive space to find a greater balance and meaning to life.

Emotional well being is something we can often take for granted, and more often than not we do not take time to attend to our emotional well being until we begin to struggle to maintain a balance. You may just need some space to reflect safely and without judgement. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the pressures of life, stuck in a rut, repeating negative patterns, or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression. Maybe you just don’t feel able to share your worries and concerns with those around you? Maybe you just don’t feel like ‘you’ and would like to explore why, or you have feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

Do you feel disconnected in your relationships? Are you running on empty, overwhelmed by grief, anxiety or responsibilities, that you barely remember what it feels like to be yourself, rested or alive? Feeling constantly on edge is a natural coping response which often interferes with daily life and relationships. With compassionate support this can change. I am passionate about supporting adults facing repeated relationship problems, unmet emotional needs and loneliness. Together we explore and honour emotions, such as anger, sadness, worry and fear rather than push them away. Clients often leave feeling lighter and more confident.

Working exclusively via video call ensuring that clients feel relaxed in familiar surroundings, I work with my clients to help them to find a route through their struggles, helping them to unhook themselves from unhelpful thinking styles and strategies. From the outset my clients understand that counselling requires them to put into practice the things that we identify during our sessions - just like homework. The solutions don't come from our sessions, they come from the work that my clients put in between our sessions.
