Carrying the weight of old wounds alone?
You don’t have to anymore.
When you feel furthest from yourself, I'm here to meet you.
To walk with you, as you find your way back.
About me and my therapy practice
I tend to work best with people who:
- Feel the weight of early experiences or unresolved wounds from childhood.
- Find relationships difficult or confusing.
- Get caught in people-pleasing, overthinking, or never feeling “enough.”
- Struggle to recognise who they are anymore- feeling disconnected from their own voice.
- Feel stuck in loops of self-sabotage.
- Are seeking personal development and deeper self-awareness.
What You Can Expect
With me, you’ll find someone who genuinely cares- someone committed to ongoing reflection, learning, and development as a therapist and as a person.
We’ll work in a way that’s collaborative and human.
Step by step, we’ll process what’s hurting, understand where you get stuck, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
This isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about a real relationship- one where you can be vulnerable, be met in that vulnerability, and be held while you find your ground again.
Practice description
A Final Word:
Real change begins when we stop trying to be who we think we should be, and start finding our way back to who we are.

My first session
The first session is a chance to slow things down, understand what’s bringing you here, and see whether working together feels right.
I’m a BACP Accredited counsellor and have continued to deepen my work with training in trauma-informed and somatic approaches.
-
My Approach
I work in a way that’s relational and integrative- meaning I adapt our sessions to fit you, not the other way around.
That might mean talking things through, slowing down to notice what’s happening in the moment, or exploring how your past still stirs in the present.
I often work with anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, and relationship struggles.
My roots are in Gestalt therapy, but I also draw on:
- Person-Centred therapy
- Mindfulness and somatic practices
- CBT for practical tools when they’re useful
- Eastern philosophy, if it resonates with you
There’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ll work in a way that feels safe and right for you- at your pace.
-
Confidentiality
What you share stays between us, unless there’s a serious risk to you or someone else and I’ll always aim to talk that through with you first.
I also take my work to supervision to ensure you receive the best possible support. Your identity remains fully protected.
