People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain emotions. The prospect that something may have changed or stopped working can produce the sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be difficult. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or return to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there.

I am trained to work with adults of 18 and above. I am fully inclusive in my practice and welcome clients from all communities. I am a member of BACP, MBACP and adhere to their ethical code in my practice. Alongside my private practice, I work pro bono with a charity providing therapy for a self- selected fee. I provide a safe, compassionate, confidential, and non-judgemental space. I can help with single, specific problems or broader, more existential issues like depression. I will meet you with an open mind and, metaphorically speaking, 'hold you' as we work through your problems.

What’s keeping you up at night? Have you experienced trauma? Do you want to live healthy, have happy relationships, find meaning and purpose in your life, and find direction? Unanswered questions and a lack of guidance make us feel anxious, depressed, and make it difficult for us to cope in life. I’m here to help. I am a trauma-trained psychotherapist working in a person-centred way meaning I will work with you to pull out the answers that lie hidden within you. I will sit with you in the darkness - at the bottom of your soul - offer you a helping hand, guide your way, and lift you up to help you grow into living authentically.

Sometimes our problems feel too huge or too painful, sometimes they feel too small to believe they will be taken seriously. Sometimes they just feel too weird, or embarrassing. I welcome you wherever you find yourself, without judgment or expectation. As we work together to unpick the issues you feel are in question, my hope for you is that you will make new discoveries about your sense of yourself. We will explore your present experience, bring your patterns of relating into your awareness, tracing how your past impacts your present, so that you can find your own unique way through the maze and noise, rebuilding your self-love.

Trauma-, neurodiversity-, and attachment-informed practitioner. Whether you are struggling with complex mental or emotional difficulties or want to gain a better understanding of yourself and your existence, I aim to provide an inviting, encouraging, and confidential space for us to make sense of your present situation. Sessions are focused on on gaining a holistic understanding of your past and present experiences, with the initial aim of identifying relational patterns that may have served you well in the past but may be holding you back now.

I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human beings, their darkness and their lights. I consider the therapeutic room not only as a space for self-reflection and exploration of what feels difficult to process on your own, but also a place to speak the unspeakable. Therapy can provide an opportunity to challenge behaviours that may appear unchangeable or automatic. As a practitioner I am interested in the integration of cultural and gender studies and have experience working with depression, isolation, sexual identity, existential difficulties, relational dilemmas and bereavement.

Are you feeling lost, disconnected from others, struggling to be present, and constantly overthinking? The human experience can be tough. I work with individuals that may feel misaligned with their environment, trying to fit into a world that doesn’t work for them. My goal is to reconnect you with your soul, overcome life's challenges, and create a world that suits you. I aid in supporting you to find your tools for a calm nervous system and to connect with their feelings and emotions and be able to express them. I provide a space where they are truly seen, heard, and can express their story authentically without judgement.

If you are seeking counselling and psychotherapy, it may be because you are dealing with a specific issue or going through a particularly difficult phase for which you need support. You may have tried to resolve things by yourself but somehow, it didn’t quite work out. You may have found yourself in the all-too-familiar place of slipping back to your old patterns of thoughts, feeling and behaviors despite all the promises and repeated attempts at changing them. Or you may feel that we are doing OK, presenting to the world a well-functioning mask of personal efficiency or professional success, but deep feeling empty and alone.

If you are feeling stuck, trapped, unable to cope with life demands, then it might be a good time to share the load and talk about it in a safe, confidential setting, where I can offer a warm and empathic counselling that might give you clarity in the difficulty that you are facing at this point of your life.
