Contact Via WhatsApp/Email. My focuses are relationships, eating disorders, & addiction. In both our relationships with self and others, most long to experience love, belonging & growth. In relationships and in hardships, I see infinite potential for transformation and evolution: through the stuck places, the old patterns, the failed attempts to connect or feel safe. Underneath, the true you is waiting to be heard through the surface ‘symptoms’. If you can recognise where you’re at, you’re halfway there — and rather than just treating the symptoms, together we listen to what’s underneath, and help you to get free from the root.

Do you feel that you have nowhere or nobody to talk to or to express your feelings to? Do you want the freedom to explore your thoughts in a safe place with a kind ear. Are you struggling or do you have worries that you cannot express to the ones closest to you? I work with clients that want to feel safe to explore and talk freely about what is happening for them. There are no judgements or criticisms in my work.

There can be times in our lives when we feel lost, not know how to be in the world……when familiar patterns become obstacles and can result in feeling anxious, scared, or stuck. Therapy can be helpful in such a time.......a time of crisis, or a time of change. I provide a safe, compassionate space that allows you explore your current problems in a way that is right for you.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions around identity, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent experiences. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves. As an integrative, humanistic psychotherapist, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space, adapting therapy to each person. Through reflection, practical tools, and (where suitable) Walk & Talk sessions in nature, I support clients in moving forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.

You feel different, and you have for a long time. You have carried silence, or shame, or questions that never quite let go. Many of the people I work with are queer, neurodiverse, or moving through change that feels heavier than they let on. Together we step outside the box of just talking. We cannot always think our way out of what hurts, we have to feel it, move with it, and live our way into something new. Beginning therapy takes courage. If you would like to start, I offer a free 15 minute consultation,

Whether you saw it it coming or didn’t, the feeling is the same: You’re devastated. You gasp at your vulnerability and wonder, “Why did this happen?” Life dishes up so many hardships: heartbreak, illness, injury, death, abandonment. Though we may share similar experiences, every hurt is personal. No matter how many times well-meaning people say, “We understand,” they don’t.

People can experience difficulties or challenges at any point in their lives, such as anxiety, low mood and trauma. At other times, life events like bereavement, the ending of a relationship or unexpected illness can make people feel upset, distressed and confused. The help and support of a clinical psychologist can help ease these painful feelings and work towards adjustment and an improved sense of well-being. If the source of the difficulties are not obvious at first, a psychological assessment can also be helpful.
