About me

We sometimes find ourselves feeling anxious, or depressed, or we are struggling in ways we can’t quite put into words. It is important to find a therapist that works for you and gives you the space to gain a better understanding of yourself and what has happened to you. Contact me now to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss how I can help you.

I specialise in working with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, symptoms of ADHD, adverse life events and relationship difficulties. Please contact me to discuss what you would like to work with as I have experience in many areas. I work integratively, which means I tailor the therapy to meet you and your goals by drawing on multiple theories, including schema therapy, CBT, attachment, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy.

I also work in a trauma informed way and have worked specifically with domestic abuse, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse and honour based abuse. 

I offer an empathic and non-judgmental space to explore and gain further understanding into the distress you're experiencing. Therapy should be a collaborative experience and I regularly check in to ensure the therapy is working for you.

Testimonials from previous clients

“April was wonderful and brought empathy, kindness and calm into my life at a time when I really needed them.”

“She is very kind, a great listener and incredibly astute to the point she can see what I am thinking.”

What happens next?

If you are interested in starting therapy please email me to set up an initial free consultation call to assess your needs. We will be able to discuss what brings you to therapy and your goals. 

Each session lasts 50 minutes and progress is reviewed periodically to ensure the therapy is still working for you.
