About me and my therapy practice

Hello and Welcome

Do you feel stuck in recurring patterns, wondering why you feel so anxious, depressed or on edge all the time?

Are you the 鈥榗oper鈥 in your family, holding everyone else together whilst your own needs seem to come last?

Do you feel like you鈥檙e drowning under the expectations of others, full of self-doubt, or caught up in people-pleasing?

Do you feel unseen by important people in your life?

Are you lost in grief, isolated, or simply unsure where life is taking you?

Do you:

  • Find yourself thinking your emotions rather than feeling them?
  • Struggle with overwhelm, exhaustion, lacking the energy you need for the life you want to lead?
  • Wonder why you feel disconnected from your true self?
  • Find yourself caught up in endlessly looping thoughts, or behaviours that you know are keeping you stuck?
  • Struggle with relationships, feeling 鈥榤issed鈥 by others who don鈥檛 really seem to understand where you are coming from?


Therapy doesn鈥檛 have to feel daunting or overwhelming:

  • I provide a safe, compassionate, confidential space to talk about concerns; to explore and find the change you are seeking, in the ways that work best for you
  • I am an ADHD specialist and have worked with over 300 neurodivergent clients, giving me a depth of understanding and empathy for the difficulties that can arise living in a world set up for the neurotypical
  • Together we can untangle relationship difficulties, uncover hidden family patterns that are still driving your life today, and work through childhood experiences to help you understand yourself better
  • I tailor my work to suit you. This may include working with the body (somatics) as well as the mind which can support deeper understanding of yourself, as well as re-setting the nervous system so you can regulate more effectively and don鈥檛 have to be stuck in fight, flight or freeze all the time
  • You鈥檒l gain insights and tools to help you get clear on what you really want, and move forward with clarity and the confidence to show up as you really are

Practice description

How I work

I specialise in working with issues like anxiety, trauma, and relationship or attachment challenges, including those influenced by family patterns or intergenerational dynamics. As well as my interest in working with clients with ADHD (diagnosed or not), I also have a special interest in Adults Bereaved as Children.

If you are looking for more than therapy alone, then coaching may also help.

Therapy asks 鈥淗ow did I get here?鈥, exploring the past, and gaining understanding of how it still influences the present, and healing emotional wounds. Coaching asks 鈥淗ow do I get there?鈥, defining future goals, and using practical tools to identify and take the steps to create the future we really want.

If you鈥檙e looking to heal emotionally and have a clear supportive framework to help you take action and build the life you want, then integrated therapy and coaching may be for you.


My approach

I'm a relational therapist

I believe the ways we relate to others, starting with how we relate to ourselves, shape how we experience life.

I see all my clients as creative, resourceful and whole. No one is broken. When things are not working the way we want, there may be a disconnect between body, mind and soul. This is what we work with to create new ways of relating and discover a life that feels purposeful, meaningful, and expansive.

I work with resolving trauma through the body and EMDR

Trauma is held in the body, and the body holds the answer to healing and releasing that trauma. I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to support recovery from trauma, helping you re-set your nervous system so you don't have to be stuck in fight, flight or freeze all the time.

I use parts work to help you understand yourself better

Some of our parts may be wounded or in pain; others may try to control and protect from that pain. Parts work helps identify what is going on underneath, supporting reintegration towards wholeness and a greater sense of coherence and authenticity. 

My first session

I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation for us to get to know each other a little and decide if we would be a good fit to work together, as well as for you to share with me what brings you to therapy.

This is also a chance for you to ask any questions, and share any concerns you may have about starting therapy.
