I place importance on helping clients understand the causes, not simply focusing on the symptoms. Ultimately, knowing yourself better is the key to a more fulfilling life, with improved relationships and feeling better within yourself on a day to day basis.

Do you feel unsure of who you really are, often wearing a mask around others? Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no causing you to feel frazzled and unable to switch off. You might feel sick at the thought of saying how you really feel and worry you're not good and will let people down. No wonder you feel anxious or overwhelmed, it's exhausting! It's also a sign you may be stuck in a cycle of sacrificing your own needs for others. The good news is this can stop. You can retain the positive qualities that make you the kind person you are and make space for the real you! This is where my approach comes in.

To others it might appear you’re doing great, but that’s not how you feel inside. You’ve worked on yourself and tried to feel better but nothing lasts. Past events play on your mind bringing you down and making you anxious. I can help.

Does your child or young person struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation or meltdowns? Are you struggling to know how best to support them? Does it feel as if their world is shrinking as they avoid situations that feel difficult? It can be hard as a parent knowing how to support young people and how to respond for the best. Young people often value a therapeutic space to explore their experiences and tricky feelings, and parents can benefit from sessions to support their understanding of their child's needs. When families have a good understanding of their child’s needs, they are better able to support them in a sensitive way.
