Hello and thank you for visiting my profile.

Modern life is tough! Many of us experience anxiety, difficult relationships, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed without fully understanding why. It's a completely natural part of being human.

People respond in different ways. Perhaps you notice a deep desire for human connection but fear of being hurt. Dwelling on situations or avoiding contact, feeling numb or alone.

As a psychotherapist, I specialise in helping people to explore past trauma. By gently and safely helping you to discover the meanings of experiences and early emotional bonds and learning how they might influence your responses in daily life.

Understanding these patterns can help us master skills to heal emotional pain, feel more confident and reconnect with our life in a healthy, rewarding way.

I combine therapeutic approaches from person-centred, attachment-based, and cognitive-behavioural therapy with trauma-informed soothing and mindfulness techniques that reveal the how our mind and body react to our environment.

I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a wide range of experience working within mental health services within the NHS, local charities and community groups,employee assistance programmes, a university counselling team, and through my private practice.

Therapy sessions available throughout the UK with secure online video meetings

Seeking therapy takes courage and I am here for you. I offer a friendly, respectful, and compassionate space for you to be heard, supported and safe. I work in a gentle way at your pace.

Everybody is very welcome from all backgrounds, beliefs, cultures, genders, sexualities, neurotypes, and disability or health conditions.

I have particular experience of working with clients on themes related to:

- Stress and anxiety

- Living with disability, long-term or chronic health condition

- Autism and ADHD overwhelm, social anxiety, isolation, masking and trauma

- LGBTQIA+ 'othering', coming out, transition, and trauma experiences

- Lived experience of addiction and interventions for recovery

- Surviving sexual assault and abuse

-  Coping with grief

You need to know if your therapist is the right fit for you.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation.

We can talk things through so that you can decide if you wish to proceed and book a 60 minute assessment session at a time convenient to you.

The assessment session gives us a chance to fully explore your situation, how you are feeling, what has been happening, what you hope to gain from therapy, any concerns or questions.

I will advise on how therapy might help, what to expect, answer any questions and help you to choose the best approach based on your wishes.

You are then free to choose to engage in further therapy sessions with me and we will agree a plan for what you want to achieve and how we will approach it.
