I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for people who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or at a crossroads in their lives. Often, those who come to therapy are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, greater emotional awareness, or support in navigating difficult or uncertain circumstances. My approach is integrative and relational, supporting exploration of thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may no longer feel helpful. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self.

Troubled, conflicted, anxious or distressed? Struggling with loss or identity issues? Feel a relationship is in difficulty or things are not going well at home, work or college? Perhaps you are struggling to cope after receiving a medical diagnosis or wondering why you became ill in the first place? Going to therapy allows you to talk about what you are experiencing, explore reasons, develop solutions and help you attain a stronger, more fulfilled and creative self. An important part is sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship with a specially trained therapist.

There are moments in life when it feels difficult to navigate the challenges we face, whether due to overwhelming emotions, unresolved experiences, or simply not feeling like ourselves. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood, no matter what you are going through. With a Master’s in Psychotherapy and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, my practice is grounded in a strong foundation of training and ethical standards, balanced by a genuine and empathetic approach to ensure you feel respected and supported.

Our physical and mental well-being are interlinked. At times we may feel our worries and anxieties are dictating the way we live our lives. At times we find ourselves not able to enjoy things that we used to and get no sense of achievement in activities that we do. Do you want to make changes, but you have no idea on how to begin.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly masking? You’re not alone and you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. I work with adults who are neurodivergent and navigating anxiety, burnout, identity questions, and the emotional weight of constant masking. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I’m a pre-accredited psychotherapist with lived experience of ADHD. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-aware, and rooted in curiosity, not correction.

Feeling disconnected from yourself? Life experiences, whether trauma or the challenges of being neurodiverse in a world that doesn’t always understand, can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or out of touch with who you really are. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to explore your story, deepen your self-understanding, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel hidden or out of reach. My role isn’t to “fix” you. it’s to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, self-acceptance, and growth at your own pace.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed, as if you're stuck in a cycle of stress and burnout? You're not alone. Many of us experience these feelings without fully understanding their roots. Often, our past experiences shape our present behaviors in ways we may not even be aware of. In our therapy sessions, I aim to provide you with a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover the underlying patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety, worry, shame, or stress. My goal is to help you feel better in yourself, empower you, and help you heal.

Life presents us with challenges—whether it’s anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, or personal roadblocks. My clients are people who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. They experience stress, low confidence, or difficulty navigating relationships, grief, or major life changes. More than anything, they want clarity, resilience, and a sense of direction. They seek not just relief from their struggles but the ability to take control and create meaningful change in their lives.

Yes, talking is good and helps. But maybe therapy can be much more... I blend psychotherapy, coaching and CBT to see things differently and help in fresh new ways. Curious?

Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.
