Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with self-esteem issues or low mood? Talking things through can help, whether it's troubling thoughts, painful life events or negative patterns that seem to repeat themselves in your life or relationships. My style is relational, and I take a holistic (mind/body) view on emotional wellbeing. I help you gently explore and address the root of the problem, so you can feel calmer inside and begin to enjoy life again. I also offer somatic work and creative arts therapy for those who like working in this way.

Most of my clients come to therapy because they don’t feel in charge of their lives and feel stuck, lost and innerly torn, often accompanied by anxieties and low moods or mood swings. Many times this is related to earlier trauma and attachment-based issues. I intend to create a safe space for you to unpack what is at the root of your distress and help you connect with your feelings, values, beliefs and your body. I have deep respect for what has gotten you this far as well as the patterns you want to change and the direction you want to shift your life into. This can be a path of liberation, empowerment and deep self-connection.

I have over 20 years experience working in the personal development, mentoring, and mental health fields, working with a broad range and severity of issues including: anxiety and depression, family/relationship conflicts, life transitions, trauma/abuse, challenges in being neuro-atypical, and the affirmation of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Life is embodied and movement shapes our interactions in the world.

Through one-to-one sessions or group work, we'll explore the dynamic interplay between body, trauma, and identity, guiding you towards re-forming patterns, emotional regulation, personal growth and development.

The world can be frustrating when you get tangled up in unhealthy thinking patterns. You can feel lost, or overwhelmed, with moments of real darkness. That is where I can help. If you lose control of your anger or your anxiety holds you back, we can unpack what makes you tick. If you hide your emotions in harmful behaviour, we can uncover them. What I enjoy most is helping people to build healthy relationships with themselves and others. I used to this when working with the Prince's Trust and Mind, the leading UK mental health agency. This gave me insight into those dealing with addiction, anxiety and depression.

My role as therapist is to work alongside you, creating a supported, non-judgemental space, where we can explore together what you are experiencing, at a pace that feels safe.

I will work with you to create a greater sense of internal balance, help you manage stress, resolve the impact of trauma, heal from, and navigate life transitions, relationships and through a new awareness, build a greater resilience,feeling better able to regulate emotions and less overwhelmed with the complexities of modern life.
