About me

For the past 9 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate life’s challenges and build lasting change. My work has spanned both clinical settings—including a GP surgery, where I support patients through some of their most vulnerable moments—and private practice, where I’ve guided individuals to meaningful breakthroughs in their personal lives. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored to you. My clients often share that they feel truly heard and supported, while also being gently encouraged to grow.

With a strong record of success in private client work, I bring both professional expertise and genuine care into every session. I combine proven therapeutic approaches with a compassionate down to earth side, allowing my clients to feel supported, empowered and safe enough to open up. Many of my clients report leaving sessions feeling lighter and confident,

And equipped with tools that genuinely improve their daily lives. Whether you’re here seeking clarity, healing, or a new path forward, you’ve already taken an important first step. I’d be honored to walk alongside, together we can create lasting change that feels both possible and sustainable.
