My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment that feels safe for the client to explore the factors that led them to seek therapy. I use an integrative approach combining person-centred therapy with CBT, attachment theory and psychodynamic elements. Psychotherapy offers a space to uncover the unknown and identify the blind spots, allowing us to gain clarity, and work through the barriers that keep us feeling stuck.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, worn down by anxiety, self‑doubt, burnout or the pressure to keep everything together.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, burnout, perfectionism, low self‑esteem, emotional overwhelm, life transitions and feelings of being stuck or disconnected. My approach is warm, collaborative and trauma‑informed, shaped around your individual needs rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all model. I support Autistic and LGBTQ+ clients.

Many people come with anxiety, relationship difficulties, or questions around identity and sexuality.
The work allows for a shift in how symptoms are experienced, and in how tightly they organise your life. Over time, this can open up a different way of relating to yourself and to others, allowing you to feel less constrained by familiar difficulties and more at ease in your relationships and everyday life.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
