You may be considering therapy because things do not feel quite right, but you are not really sure where to start. Perhaps life feels overwhelming at the moment, you are finding it difficult to switch off, or you feel stuck and unsure about what comes next. You might be struggling to make sense of how you are feeling or finding it difficult to see a way forward. I work with people who want to better understand themselves and what they are experiencing. Together, we can explore what is going on, including how your thoughts, feelings and experiences may be connected, and what might help you feel more able to move forward.

I work with anxiety, low mood, stress, intrusive thoughts, difficulties with self-esteem and grief, as well as people who feel stuck, lost or unsure about what comes next. My approach is supportive and tailored to you. Drawing on CBT, I can help you explore unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and consider different ways of responding when these patterns are affecting how you feel. We will focus on what feels relevant to you, rather than trying to fit you into a particular approach.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself, without judgement or assumptions. Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you have never done it before. We can take things at your own pace, starting wherever feels most comfortable for you.

I aim to create a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel genuinely listened to and understood. Whether you are looking to work through something specific or simply feel that you need some support to understand yourself better, we can work together to identify what you need and what you would like to be different.
