About me

I am a psychotherapist with over 8 yrs of experience supporting individuals, adolescents and families through a wide range of life challenges. I offer a warm, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and supported. While I have a particular interest in working with addictions and eating disorders- especially in supporting family members and loved ones - I also work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions and emotional overwhelm.

alongside my private practice, I work for an addiction counselling charity, supporting individuals and families with complex and varied needs. I have also worked as a counsellor in high school settings, giving me strong insight into the unique challenges faced by young people and their families. My approach is collaborative and client centred, shaped by professional experience and a personal understanding of how deeply mental health challenges can affect individuals and families. Above all, my aim is to provide a supportive relationship where clients feel accepted, understood and not alone
