About me
Helping adults overcome anxiety, overthinking, stress, low self-esteem and depression.
I expect that you have found yourself overthinking or worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, or perhaps you feel emotionally exhausted from carrying so much on your own? It can be hard work always ruminating about what you have or haven't said in a social situation/at work or to a family member.
Perhaps you’re constantly putting pressure on yourself, struggling to switch off, or feeling stuck in patterns that leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or low in mood. You may look as though you’re coping on the outside, but i know that privately you are feeling lost, disconnected, or unlike yourself.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. I have worked with clients that feel this way for over 5 years, desperate to stop:
- Constantly overthinking conversations and decisions
- Feeling anxious without fully understanding why
- Struggling with low confidence or self-criticism
- Feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships or family pressures
- Finding it difficult to switch off and relax
- Feeling stuck, lost or disconnected from yourself
I specialise in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and periods of emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right - I can help you. Therapy with me can offer a space to pause, reflect and together, we will make sense of what you’re going through.
I can also help support you if you're wondering if you might be neurodivergent. Together we can explore what might be going on for you so that you can better understand yourself.
Many neurodivergent people have spent years masking who they are, feeling misunderstood, or believing there is something “wrong” with them. Therapy is not about changing who you are. Instead, it is about helping you better understand yourself, recognise your unique strengths, make sense of past experiences, and develop ways of living that feel more authentic and sustainable. Neurodivergence can include:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder)
Dyscalculia
Dysgraphia
Tourette syndrome
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and tailored to you as an individual. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, without fear of judgement or pressure to have all the answers. Rather than following a rigid model, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your unique needs and circumstances.
Together we can explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be contributing to your difficulties, helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience and confidence in navigating life’s challenges.
Alongside anxiety and depression, I also have experience supporting people through bereavement, fertility challenges, baby loss, difficulties with anger, life transitions and questions around identity and self-worth.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. That’s why I offer a free introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, tell me a little about what’s bringing you to counselling, and decide whether working together feels right for you.
I offer both online and in-person appointments, with flexible options including weekly, fortnightly and ad-hoc sessions. I also work with BUPA health insurance.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
