Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile.

If you’re here, chances are something in your life feels overwhelming, confusing, or hard to manage right now. You might be feeling stuck, anxious, or sad—or maybe you’re carrying guilt, stress, or self-doubt that feels too heavy to bear on your own.

Perhaps you’ve lost someone you love and are finding it difficult to cope with the sadness or guilt of unspoken words.

Maybe you’re stuck in worry—about money, the future, or how to keep going when life feels so heavy. Whatever you’re going through, I want you to know that support is here.

In therapy with me, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the things that are troubling you. This is your opportunity to focus on you—your feelings, your struggles, and the changes you want to make. Together, we can work on helping you feel calmer, more in control, and better equipped to deal with life’s challenges.

Whatever brings you here, I want you to know you’re not alone, and I’m here to help.

As a fully qualified and experienced counsellor, registered with the BACP, I’ve worked with many people facing a wide variety of challenges. In therapy, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s going on in your life and find ways to help you feel better. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches—tailored to your unique needs and experiences. My work combines elements of person-centred, psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to offer flexible, personalised support.

CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It helps you identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that may be affecting your mood and daily life.

CBT can be especially effective in helping with:

– anxiety and panic attacks

– depression

– low self-esteem

– excessive worry

– stress and sleep difficulties

– emotional regulation and overwhelm

Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, reduce emotional distress, or break free from negative cycles, I will adapt my approach to support your personal growth at your own pace.

I offer you: a better understanding of your feelings and behaviours, helping you to recognize unhelpful patterns like overthinking, self-criticism, or catastrophizing.

Practical tools and strategies to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and feel more in control of your life.

Space to process grief or sadness, allowing you to honour your feelings and move forward with greater peace.

Support to build your self-esteem and develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Help in dealing with anger, so you can express yourself in a way that feels healthy and constructive.

If you’re struggling with stress—whether from work, relationships, or everyday life—I’ll help you explore what’s at the root of it and how to find balance. If you’re worried about the future or feel stuck in cycles of fear or guilt, we’ll work on reframing those thoughts and building a sense of calm and hope.

We all go through times when life feels like too much, but I truly believe we all have the potential to thrive, even in difficult circumstances.

Therapy is a chance to reconnect with your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and create positive changes in your life.

Change isn’t always easy, but it’s possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll be here to support you, gently and at your pace, as you take the steps toward the life you want to live.
