Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, self-doubt, or old patterns keep showing up, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside. You may notice tension in your body, feel restless, or repeat familiar patterns in relationships. I’ve been there myself, struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. Many people want a gentler, steadier experience of themselves — a chance to slow down, feel calmer in their body, and reconnect with their own strength and resilience.

Psychotherapy is about a person journey in discovering who they really are. And what they would like to change. Whatever you are experiencing: a mental health condition, a significant life event, or are interested in personal growth, the therapeutic relationship is the agent of change. Helping individuals to understand themselves better, and showing them how to ask the right questions, is the path to change.

Do you feel overwhelmed, lost or stuck? Is there a sense that life could be better, that you are floundering instead of flourishing? Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect on your life space; a chance to explore and gain insight into unhelpful patterns of belief and behaviour which can cause distress and influence how you feel about yourself and the world. I am passionate about instilling hope by fostering greater connection and meaning in life which you may have lost sight of. Therapy has the potential to facilitate small yet meaningful changes, creating a powerful ripple effect on your mental health and wellbeing.

For immigrants and expats, this can include the added weight of cultural adjustment, distance from home, and feeling unseen or misunderstood.

Starting counselling can feel a bit like setting off on a road trip into unknown territory. Some parts of the journey will feel familiar, while others may feel completely new. It can be tiring, emotional, or frustrating at times, but it can also be deeply cathartic. With each step, you gain insight, clarity, and a sense of accomplishment. Think of me as your tour guide — here to provide gentle direction, support, and company when the road feels rough.

Through many years supporting clients with a myriad of challenges I have discovered that one of their greatest needs is for hope - an expectation and desire that change is possible. It is an absolute privilege to walk some of that journey to hope with my clients and I would be delighted to explore together how I can support you. I have a breadth of experience in counselling in private practice, with community based counselling services, on Employee Assistance Programmes, at a residential drug rehabilitation centre and in supporting those affected by their involvement in the criminal justice system.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety or caught in patterns that feel difficult to break, such as addiction?

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate and deeply guided by my professional training as a psychotherapist, but also by my own lived experience of addiction and panic attack recovery. I am here to support you in finding your own way forward.
