Biography


Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like you're going round in circles?
I realise starting therapy can feel daunting. You may be tired of feeling this way and unsure where to begin - I know I was before therapy gave me the step up I once needed. I now work with an ethos of giving back to others by providing a calm space where you can talk openly. Through the therapeutic process we can safely unpack any emotional or psychological distress and nurture ways to gain clarity, peace, and a sense of control. Therapy may offer you the space to heal, grow and reconnect with yourself. I will guide & support you each step of the way.

Who do I specialise in helping?
Are you wanting help with:

Anxiety, panic or constant worry
Low mood or depression
Trauma or distressing past experiences
Difficulties in relationships
Low self esteem or confidence
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected
Struggling with loss, change or life transitions
Habit change

What's it like to work with me?
My approach is calm, grounded, warm and goal orientated.
I won’t just sit back and nod. I’ll work with you to explore patterns, identify what’s keeping you stuck, and help you move forward at a pace that feels right.
My experiences of personal therapy shapes how I work: with honesty, empathy, and a focus on what actually helps.
I draw from approaches such as CBT and EMDR, depending on what fits you best—but more importantly, I focus on building a space where you can speak openly, feel understood and gain the most out of our sessions. My practice is centred around making you feel comfortable and actually making progress.

Through therapy, you can begin to:
Gain clarity and self-understanding
Develop healthier ways of managing difficult emotions
Process painful or traumatic experiences
Improve relationships including the one you have with yourself
Feel more grounded confident and resilient
Make the positive changes you know would improve your life.
