Let me help you to navigate challenges such as stress anxiety, identity, self-image, and manage your wellbeing. Life has a way of presenting us with hurdles, and I understand the impact stress and anxiety can have firsthand. Because of certain challenges I faced personally, I discovered the transformative power of seeking support from a counsellor.

With over 15 years’ experience as a therapist and supervisor, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore what’s happening in your life without fear of judgment or pressure to be anyone other than yourself. My practice is neuroaffirmative and inclusive, welcoming both neurodivergent and neurotypical adults. You might be coming to therapy because you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or low, or because you’re struggling to manage emotions that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Perhaps you’re healing from trauma, navigating a major life change, or wanting to improve your relationships and feel more connected to others.

Hello & welcome to my profile. I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with the PSI (M12836C) and Practitioner Psychologist with the HCPC (PYL31683). I offer confidential psychological therapy online. There are a multitude of issues and concerns that may prompt any person, of any background, in any situation, to seek out a Psychologist. These may include experiences of helplessness, feelings of distress, confusion, or stagnation personally or professionally. Often, people feel stuck and unable to address their difficulties alone; this helplessness is a universal human trait, however, it can be lessened through therapy.

The stress of modern life can lead us to experience anxiety, depression and many other symptoms. Whilst bereavement, change and loss are all natural processes, they can also be painful and destabilizing which can create feelings of anger, helplessness and vulnerability. Challenges in the present can also unearth experiences from our past which we might not have had the opportunity to fully understand and process. These feelings can seriously impact on our lives including relationships, physical health and work such that it can sometimes feel we are out of control.

Addiction or misuse; whether it's by way of gambling or substances..you are looking to make changes and getting counselling can make the big difference. You have tried to reduce or stop by yourself plenty of times but it hasn't worked. This can be so lonely, exhausting and frustrating. I blend addiction counselling and pscyhotherapy so I can help you through the really difficult ups and downs of understanding and changing addictive behaviours. I can help you practically with residential treatment information, with aftercare from residential treatment or with helping you to make these changes whilst you continue to work or study.

As an integrative therapist I utilize approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered, Solution focused, mindfulness etc. depending on the needs and requests of each individual. Pulling apart what may often feel like a tangled ball of wool in ones head in order to recognise, prioritize and cope with the sometimes over whelming thoughts, feeling and behaviors that present.
