About me
Feeling anxious, low, or stuck?
You might be overthinking everything, struggling to switch off, or feeling constantly on edge.
You may find yourself worrying about being judged, disliked, or getting things wrong, which leaves you second-guessing yourself or trying to keep others happy.
Maybe your mood has dropped and things that used to feel manageable now feel overwhelming.
Or perhaps past experiences are still affecting your confidence, your relationships, or how you feel about yourself.
Or maybe your in a relationship but cant understand why you still feel lonely and disconnected from your partner.
Whatever’s going on, you don’t have to carry it alone.
How I Can Help
I work with adults experiencing:
- Anxiety – racing thoughts, panic, constant worry, fear of being judged or disliked
- Depression – low mood, numbness, lack of motivation
- Trauma & PTSD – when the past still feels present
- Relationship difficulties – repeating patterns, conflict, disconnection
- Low self-esteem – self-doubt, harsh inner critic
We won’t just focus on symptoms, we’ll look at what’s underneath, so things can start to change at a deeper level.
Understanding Trauma
Trauma isn’t always obvious. It’s not just about what happened, it’s about how it continues to live in your body and mind.
You might notice:
- Feeling constantly on edge or unsafe
- Shutting down or feeling numb
- Strong emotional reactions that feel hard to manage
- Difficulty trusting others or yourself
- Repeating patterns in relationships
These are not signs that something is wrong with you, they’re ways your mind and body have learned to cope.
In therapy, we go gently and at measured pace to help you feel safer, more grounded, and more in control again.
Men’s mental health
I have a particular interest in supporting men with their mental health. Many men carry the weight of expectations around strength, resilience, and independence, which can make it harder to talk openly about emotional struggles. Issues such as pressure to perform at work, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, and a strong inner critic often arise in our work together.
For some men, anger can become one of the few emotions that feels acceptable to express, sometimes masking feelings such as anxiety, hurt, or shame underneath. Others may find themselves struggling after difficult life events or traumatic experiences that have had a lasting emotional impact. I also recognise that some men are deeply affected by their partner’s birth trauma or difficult experiences during childbirth, yet may feel there is little space to talk about their own emotional response to this. Therapy can provide a place to explore these experiences openly and begin to make sense of the impact they may have had.
Couples Therapy
I offer couples therapy to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples in a warm, supportive and non-judgemental environment. Whether you're experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust issues or navigating a significant life transition, I provide a balanced space where both partners can feel heard and understood. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to your relationship, I help couples strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection and create lasting, meaningful change.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy gives you the space to understand yourself differently, and that can be powerful.
Alongside talking things through, I’ll help you make sense of what’s happening in your mind and body, so things feel less confusing or overwhelming.
Where it’s helpful, I also share practical tools and strategies you can use between sessions, for example, ways to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, cope in difficult moments or improve communication and connection in your relationship.
Together, we can:
- Make sense of why you feel the way you do
- Break unhelpful patterns in thinking and relationships
- Learn ways to manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions
- Build self-trust and confidence
- Feel more grounded, clearer, and more in control
Change is possible, with the right support.
My Approach
I’m an integrative therapist, which means I tailor therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I offer a space that is:
- Calm and supportive
- Honest and down-to-earth
- Free from judgement
- Collaborative
You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear starting point, we’ll figure it out together.
Taking the first step
Many people feel nervous about starting therapy or worry they won’t know what to say. That’s completely understandable. Therapy is simply a space where you don’t have to figure everything out alone, and where we can begin to make sense of your experiences together.
If something in my profile resonates with you, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can arrange a free initial 20 minute conversation so you can ask any questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
Warmly,
Corrina

I'm a qualified and experienced integrative therapist which means I'm trained in several evidence-based approaches which I adapt to suit the individuality of each client.
The approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, The Gottman Method & Gestalt Therapy.

Further information
My main areas of focus are anxiety, trauma (particularly the lasting impact of childhood trauma and adverse early experiences), depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I have a special interest in working with clients who live with a harsh inner critic and thoughts of 'not being good enough'; and I support them in developing greater self-acceptance and compassion.
I also have extensive experience supporting people through work-related stress, burnout, and performance pressures. Having previously worked in retail and financial management, I understand the realities of corporate environments and how professional demands can affect mental health and wellbeing.
I am particularly passionate about men’s mental health, and I have successfully worked with many male clients, helping them to explore emotions, relationships, and personal challenges in a safe, supportive space. I also enjoy working with students and young adults, who may be navigating life transitions, academic pressures, or identity struggles.
My approach is warm, open, and down-to-earth. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles or self-doubt, I’ll work alongside you to help you make sense of your experiences and move towards lasting change.
