Sessions are a space for you to bring whatever feels most important to talk through in that moment.
Do you feel like you’ve been living life in hard mode for too long? I am here to support you in finding your way from struggling to thriving.

Whether you are depressed, anxious, or feeling stuck, I am here to offer you a space to bring all of that, openly, without judgement.

It can feel scary knowing where to start with therapy.
I have nearly a decade of experience in the NHS as a psychotherapist working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma during their lives. The past has a way of impacting our present and affecting our relationship to ourselves and others. For some people this can manifest in anxiety and depression, for others they may struggle with feelings of emptiness, disconnect or fear that those around them will leave or reject them. This can be a very painful experience but it doesn't have to be your future.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, stuck or in pain, if life is harder than it used to be, or your tried and tested methods aren't working for you anymore, you may benefit from talking to someone outside your usual circle.
Perhaps you’re experiencing loss or sadness, are having struggles at work, in your personal life, or in your relationships. Maybe you have difficult situations from your past that get in the way of your happiness in the present. You have experienced trauma or abuse, feel shame, anxiety, or depression. Whatever has brought you to this point, you have found the strength to seek help and that is your first step to taking back control and beginning your personal journey towards healing. A safe space matters to us all, especially at times of turmoil and pain, and that is what you will find here when you need it the most.

I understand how hard it is to take the first step to seek professional help for an issue that you feel sad or angry about, or perhaps embarrassed to discuss.
Are you living with feelings of self- doubt, blame, anger or shame? Do you need help to cope with depression or anxiety? Maybe you have suffered loss, and doubt your ability to sustain meaningful relationships with family and friends. Perhaps you are in a relationship that is stuck in the rut, or mired in hopelessness, negativity, and mistrust. It may be that your relationship has changed from a loving one to one of repeated misunderstandings, heated arguments or frosty silence. Stressful life events can bring about such difficulties, or sometimes disappointments simply accumulate over time.

I am compassionate, respectful and genuine and will always work with your wellbeing at the heart of our relationship.
As a therapist, I work with clients to help them deal with issues such as depression, anxiety and invasive thoughts. I believe that society is quick to label people and say “whats wrong with you?” whereas, I believe we should be asking “What happened to you?” My clients have included survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, sexual assault and those recovering from traumatic-based experiences that have affected their current quality of life. I offer bereavement counselling to help people navigate their pain and find their own way to make sense of their loss. I recognise that, as each person is unique, so is their grieving process.

I offer both short and long term counselling and psychotherapy to support you in whichever way you need.
It can be really tough to actually talk about what is going on for you. Sometimes we feel shame or fear at the prospect of sharing these feelings. Sometimes there just aren't words for those feelings. I offer a space in which whatever you wish to talk about is fine. I am not easily shocked! Our time spent together will involve creating a safe space in which you can explore whatever it is that you want or need. I like to hold a space where I embrace that everybody is unique and that nobody is "perfect." I also understand the drive to achieve that perfection and how difficult it can be balancing the two.

I firmly believe that our creative likes and energies are an important link to our innermost feelings.
Thank you for looking at my profile. I know that taking the first steps towards accessing talking therapy can be nerve-wracking and overwhelming. I aim to offer clients a welcoming, safe space in which they can explore their feelings without feeling judged. In this space we can work together to make some sense of how your world is and how you might like to change things, to feel happier, more fulfilled, safer, less overwhelmed or something else. I initially suggest 2 assessment sessions where you can gauge whether I feel like the right person for you to work with and I can assess whether I have the appropriate skills to help you.
