Before I saw the light, Stress wasn't my problem - taking charge of Stress was. I suffered in the workplace, in a job three grades above my pay grade because I couldn't say "No!" My anxiety went through the roof. My health went through the floor from sleepless nights, anxiety attacks and two painful bouts of shingles in 4 years. Eventually I pulled myself up from rock-bottom to retrain in a new career, resign from my job and take back control of my Stress. If I could do it, anyone could. The transition proved far from easy. Moving forward, developing a new attitude, unlearning and letting go of old beliefs proved difficult.

These include relational, attachment-based, person-centred and trauma-informed perspectives, alongside elements of Transactional Analysis and compassion-focused work.
I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, past experiences, or patterns in relationships that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. Many people come to therapy carrying things they have held alone for a long time, unsure where to begin. In our work together, we create a space where experiences can be explored with care and curiosity, helping you understand what may be shaping how you feel and respond in your life.

Sometimes in life we experience overwhelming times where we feel unseen, unheard or misunderstood. In this place we can feel depression, anxiety, grief, loss, isolation and have a sense that we are disconnected from our true selves. Coming to therapy can feel dauting and so I offer a safe confidential space where one can explore their presenting issues through the lens of their internal and external worlds, identifing their needs and goals. We gently challenge established thoughts and behaviours as we move through a journey of self discovery, awareness, and acceptance in a warm, empathic, supportive & non-judgemental environment.

My approach combines Transactional Analysis counselling and Hypnotherapy which means we work on both the thinking patterns, and the deeper emotional roots of anxiety, not just talk about it.
You're capable, driven, respected. But inside? There's a quiet, exhausting pressure that never switches off. Replaying conversations over and over again, second-guessing, and not trusting yourself, trying to do everything "perfectly " and being afraid of making mistakes.
I help women struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt to finally slow their thoughts, feel more in control, and experience a sense of calm and confidence.
Together we can work on:
• Overthinking and constant mental noise.
• Anxiety or panic that feels hard to control.
• Burnout from always pushing yourself.
• Low self-confidence and self-doubt.

Quote Pema Chodron- 'Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know'. It takes a brave person to reach out to another, whether it is for help with an issue you are already aware of, or as a means of understanding yourself a bit better. We can all become 'stuck'. I believe the potential to grow and heal comes from within. Alot of our life's struggles are relational, how we are in relation to our view of ourselves and how we experience the quality of our connection to others.
