About me and my therapy practice
If you are struggling right now and searching for support, hopefully your search ends here.
There's so much choice, why work with me?
Because I am invested in you.
Whatever your problem, my goal is simple. It is for you to leave with confidence, understanding yourself better than you did before and having discovered a new way of moving forward which feels positive, safe and is aligned with who you are.
It's important to know that we all experience times in our life that are overwhelming, challenging and sometimes paralysing. I firmly believe that you do not need to have experienced something catastrophic to justify why you might be finding things difficult.
My insight and intervention will help you to identify how your feelings could be impacting your behaviour, your choices and the quality and depth of your relationships, particularly the relationship you have with yourself.
You matter, your feelings matter and your happiness matters. If anything is impacting that, with my support you can work things through.
I am passionate about normalising seeking support when we need to; it is an investment in yourself.
Practice description
Who and what I work with
I work with men and women and children facing a wide range of issues, many of which are interlinked.
Particular interests
I have a particular interest in working with young people as they navigate the transition to maturity/independence, and corporate professionals who are at a crossroads.
- Teens and beyond
The teenage years can feel extremely challenging, both on the young person and their caregivers. There is so much change going on hormonally and neurologically that it can be difficult to see progress when there is conflict.
Leaving home is a big deal! Even the happiest and seemingly most confident young people can struggle with the adjustment. I understand how the transition to independence can feel unsettling. Common concerns include loneliness, homesickness, overwhelm, stress and anxiety, which can manifest in big feelings and behaviours.
Through counselling, I support all my clients to better understand and accept themselves by:
- Recognising what it is they feel.
- Determining what is contributing to the way they feel.
- Considering how their feelings are impacting their behaviours and choices.
- Questioning what is serving them and what is impacting them.
- Acknowledging their needs.
- Exploring how they can help themselves.
- Identifying positive pathways for the future.
- Utilising healthy coping strategies to boost resilience, self-esteem and self-regulation.
- Professionals
I specialise in working with corporate professionals who are at a crossroads with life and work. Is your job impacting your work-life balance, your relationships, your health?

My first session
In our first session, we will start to get to know one other. This may be your first time seeing a therapist and my goal is to provide warmth and reassurance to you; it is a hugely brave and courageous step.
Whatever your age, you may be feeling nervous or reluctant for all sorts of reasons and this is understandable. You can be assured of a safe place to explore whatever challenges you are facing.
We will spend some time discussing your circumstances and what your needs and hopes are. Don't worry if you aren't sure!
We will start to forge what should become a trusted working relationship where you feel safe to express yourself exactly as you are.
I really look forward to meeting you!
