Often the people I work with look like they are managing on the outside, but internally feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious or as though they are holding everything together by sheer effort. You might recognise patterns of anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing or perfectionism. There may be a tendency to over-function in relationships while neglecting your own needs, alongside ongoing self-doubt, fear of rejection, or a sense of feeling different or not quite fitting in. Over time, this can lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion and a sense of being disconnected from yourself.
I work with adults experiencing trauma and complex trauma, attachment difficulties, ADHD, burnout, anxiety and relationship difficulties, alongside questions around identity, meaning and spirituality. My approach is client-centred and trauma-informed, drawing on process-oriented, relational psychotherapy, and includes EMDR where appropriate.
In our work together, we don’t try to quickly fix or judge difficult thoughts or feelings. We see them as valid and meaningful, offering insight into who you are and how your past shapes your present. Over time, this can help you feel more like you are fully yourself, with greater ease and steadiness in your relationship with yourself and others.

I came to psychotherapy in my 40s, drawn to work that supports a whole and healthy sense of self. My approach is deep, holistic, compassionate and trauma-informed. Grounded in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, I am an EMDR-trained, registered clinical counsellor.

When we start our work together, we'll set a regular time each week to meet. One of the beautiful things about therapy is giving yourself permission to prioritise your own needs and reconnect with your inner wisdom. Lifelong patterns can take time to shift, but with patience and gentle exploration, lasting and transformative change unfolds in magical ways.

I use the conversational model to support a deeper understanding of emotions, relationships and recurring patterns through open, reflective dialogue. Integrating process-oriented psychotherapy, we also attend to present-moment experience, including body signals, imagery and the subconscious. EMDR can help process trauma and distress, easing emotional burden and supporting lasting change.
