About me
Sometimes life nudges us to pause and look more closely at what’s happening inside us and in our relationships. You might be feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make sense of the dynamics in your romantic life, friendships, family, or even within yourself. Reaching out can feel daunting, especially when what you’re carrying feels tender.
I’m a Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience, and I offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly, explore what it means to be you and make yourself feel heard. My approach, embedded within a humanistic approach, is relational and existential: together we look at how you experience yourself, how you relate to others, and what patterns or fears may be shaping your life.
I specialise in supporting people who want to understand their relationships more deeply - whether that’s improving a relationship with a partner, navigating family issues, repairing a sense of self, or finding more confidence and ease in everyday life. Together, we look and explore what worries you, look at patterns, hopes, and fears, and begin to work towards the possibility of change at a pace that feels safe.
