Do you often feel trapped, confused, or unworthy in your relationships? If you find yourself repeatedly giving chances to partners who don't change, you're not alone.

Drawing from both professional training and personal experience, I specialise in helping individuals break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse.

In addition to the above support, I also specialise in working with people navigating Vestibular Migraine, chronic dizziness, FND, BPPV and PPPD and Menieres Disease, helping them make sense of their experiences, reducing anxiety, and rebuilding confidence in daily life. My approach integrates psychological understanding with compassion for the very real physical sensations and fears these conditions bring.

Living with ongoing FND, Vestibular Migraine, PPPD, BPPV or Menieres Disease can feel like your world is being turned upside down. Not only can it be deeply unsettling and confusing, but there is no certainty as to when or will it end, no light at the end of the tunnel - not only for the body but for the mind too. Many people with these conditions describe feeling anxious, frustrated, and misunderstood, especially when symptoms persist or fluctuate.

I utilize a blend of Person Centred and Trauma Informed Care to help clients rebuild self-esteem and establish healthy boundaries.

I am a fully qualified Â鶹ԭ´´ Accredited Therapeutic Counsellor, with 8 years experience working with people and their mental wellbeing. 

Our sessions are conducted via secure online platforms or by 'phone, ensuring your privacy and allowing you to seek support from the comfort of your home.

I provide adults with 50 minute sessions and although my niche is supporting those in toxic relationships and narcissism, I also work with neurodivergence, autoimmune conditions, dizziness, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss.  

I provide counselling for Aviva insurance policy holders.  

At your first session, we can talk about what you expect from counselling and it’s an opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you like about the process, such as how often we would meet, session cost and confidentiality. It also gives you the chance to get an idea of whether you feel safe and comfortable working with me. We would also discuss the working agreement together, which outlines the session boundaries. This first session cost is reduced to £55, which is paid in advance and could be as long as 90 minutes.   

Take the first step toward reclaiming your life. Contact me today to schedule a free initial consultation.
