Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes it feels like you’re just trying to keep your head above water. Anxiety, loss, relationship struggles, or the challenges of neurodiversity can make it hard to see a way forward. Maybe self-doubt keeps creeping in, or familiar patterns leave you feeling stuck. You don’t just want to talk—you want something that helps. A space that feels safe but also gives you the tools to move forward. You need therapy that’s both structured and flexible, practical yet deeply understanding, helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and create real change.

I offer integrative or holistic therapy. I blend elements from different approaches and tailor treatment according to individual needs. That includes: Gestalt therapy - (the importance of being aware of the here and now), Psychodynamic therapy - (changing problematic behaviours, feelings, and thoughts), Cognitive therapy - (changing our thoughts, to change how we feel and what we do) and Existential therapy - (exploring free will, self-determination and the search for meaning).

I work with self-esteem issues, anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression, self-harm, stress, relationship issues, grief, loss of any kind, ADHD, Autism and childhood trauma. I also have a special interest in women's peri and postnatal mental health and the difficulties associated with menopause transition. Rarely, there is just one cause for any given issue; that is why I take biological, psychological and social factors into account during our first session. I am committed to finding the approach or combination of approaches that are the right fit for you. Above all, I will listen until you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

I work with people with various presenting issues whose common denominator is that they need a positive change or changes in their lives. It could be mental health issues, major life crises, simply feeling lost or stuck at certain points in their lives, or being overwhelmed by daily demands. They all have taken the very first steps towards getting better by contacting a therapist and asking for an appointment.

Ernest Hemingway once said “In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice”, I believe what we need is the power of human connection and a reminder that you are not alone. People seek psychotherapy and counselling for different reasons. Maybe for you, it's a time of crisis, change or you're feeling stuck, unfulfilled or overwhelmed. Taking that first step can be daunting and takes courage. I have experience working with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, low self -esteem and relationship issues. I will, with compassion and respect, support you to gain awareness and understanding of your needs.

Things never have a way of working out in life as to how we thought it would. Life throws many obstacles in our path, which can be very challenging. These can cause us to question ourself, our lives and our beliefs. These can create anxiety or depression, feelings of not being able to cope. It can leave us feeling broke and feeling that there is no way forward. We loose someone we love or a relationship or job, which can lead us to grieving for what we have lost. Sometimes we just need to find the right direction for our life.

Ask yourself a few questions. Are you experiencing a challenging stage in life, a conflicted state of mind, or difficulty within yourself that keeps on returning to trouble you? Are you finding relationships unfulfilling, stressful, or lonely? Do you worry about the future or are affected by the past? Do you replay everything you could have done differently but are consumed by guilt and regret? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? Maybe you are asking yourself how did my life turn out like this? It's exhausting. Isn't it?
