WELCOME
As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with 15 years' experience, I provide online therapy for adults navigating difficult life events and healing from trauma and emotional pain.
Coming to therapy usually means something in your life feels difficult, heavy, and at times overwhelming. I offer a warm, direct, and collaborative approach, sharing psychological understanding, new-found clarity and ways of coping.
Our journey through life is filled with many upsetting and unexpected challenges. It's at times like these, we need support to process what's happened, adjust to new circumstances, and find our way with a renewed sense of meaning and purpose.
My hope for therapy is to empower you to develop resilience, adapt well to future life stress and inspire change in how you relate to yourself and others. Many opportunities for growth and transformation exist when we come through the most difficult of life's experiences.

Every person's reasons for starting therapy are different. These are the areas I work with most often:
Anxiety & Worry
Racing "what if" worry thoughts, a body that won't settle, a mind that's always one step ahead of you.
Depression & Rumination
Analysing the past, low mood, feeling sad, loss of drive, high self-criticism, hopelessness.
Trauma
Exploring past trauma and childhood attachment wounds resurfacing in current relationships.
Life Transitions
Peri-menopause, career changes, relationships ending, caring for older parents, retirement.
Self-esteem & Identity
Making sense of who you are and where old stories no longer fit the person you are becoming.
Stress & Burnout
Running on empty for too long, difficulty calming your nervous system, adjusting to chronic illness.
Whether it's anxiety and worry that won't quieten down. Feelings of grief, sadness and longing that feel too much. A relationship that's changed or ended. Something you didn't fully choose and wasn't part of your life plan. Therapy can support you on your journey of recovery to find contentment, calm and peace.
