About me
Are You Seeking Guidance, Clarity, and Sustainable Re-Growth?
Sometimes life becomes heavier than we expected. When you begin a journey toward healing anxiety or burnout, it helps to walk alongside someone who already knows the terrain someone who can guide you through the tight corners, the steep climbs, and the moments where you pause to catch your breath. This is your invitation to step into that journey with support, clarity and companionship, so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Many people arrive at counselling carrying stress that has shaped their identity: the overthinking, the exhaustion, the emotional shutdown, the sense of living a life that looks fine on the outside but feels misaligned on the inside. These aren’t personal failures; they’re nervous system responses to long-term overwhelm.
My work supports adults who feel depleted, overburdened, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit. Together, we explore the roots of anxiety and burnout, helping you regulate your system, soften the internal pressure, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been pushed aside.
Stress recovery isn’t just about coping better. It’s about becoming more you, more present, more grounded, more authentic. If you weren’t shaped by stress, who might you become?
Life can feel heavy in ways that are difficult to articulate. Many people arrive in counselling carrying a blend of nervous system strain, anxiety, burnout, overthinking, relationship pressures, or a sense of drifting away from themselves. The first thing they often say is something like “I’m overwhelmed” or “I can’t switch off my mind.” These experiences usually build gradually: boundaries blur, decisions feel harder, motivation dips, and long‑standing patterns such as people‑pleasing, perfectionism, or attachment stress begin to shape everyday life.
For some, this strain shows up physically through panic, dissociation, numbness, exhaustion, or foggy thinking. For others, it emerges emotionally through self‑criticism, shame spirals, conflict, or feeling disconnected from themselves or the people around them. Alongside this, workplace expectations, cultural pressures, and constant change can create chronic overload, identity confusion, and a slow erosion of clarity and purpose.
Counselling provides a steady, reflective space to understand these experiences and make sense of what’s happening internally. Together, we explore the patterns, demands, and conditioning that influence your nervous system, your thoughts, your relationships, and your emotional landscape. You’ll learn practical skills in regulation, grounding, psychological flexibility, communication, and self‑compassion tools that help you reconnect with your needs, strengthen your boundaries, regain clarity, and build a more stable, aligned, and resilient way of living.
If you’re someone who has spent years appearing capable and composed at work, at home, or in your relationships, you may notice that the roles you hold have become heavier than you let on. You’re thoughtful, reliable, and often the person others turn to, yet your inner world may feel scattered, overstimulated, or strangely distant. You might find yourself moving through the day in a kind of emotional haze: tired but unable to rest, surrounded by people yet feeling quietly alone in your experience. You may be wondering: Is counselling right for me? Can therapy help with anxiety or burnout? Why do I feel this way?
A helpful way to understand burnout is this: it’s rarely the beginning of the story. Burnout is usually the final point in a long chain of pressure, responsibility, emotional strain, and unmet needs. Most conversations start when someone is already exhausted, irritable, withdrawn, or running on empty, but these are often the last signs to appear, not the first. Counselling helps you trace that chain back to its origins, understand what has been happening beneath the surface, and begin to rebuild in a way that supports your wellbeing rather than depleting it.
My approach is warm, steady, and deeply relational.
I’m not here to analyse you from a distance or offer one‑size‑fits‑all solutions. I’m here to sit alongside you, to understand what life feels like from your side, and to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that stress, pressure, or survival mode have pushed aside.
You might recognise yourself in some of these moments:
• Weekends no longer reset you
• Sunday evenings feel heavier than they used to
• Small interruptions feel strangely overwhelming
• You’re home, but your mind is still at work
• Decisions feel heavier than they should
• You’ve stopped doing things you used to enjoy
• Your patience is shorter, your sleep unsettled
• Rest feels guilty, and doing nothing feels impossible
• You say “I’m fine” even when you’re not
• You wonder how you’ll ever find your balance again
If any of these land with you, it may be time for a space that’s just for you, a space where you don’t have to perform, hold it together, or explain yourself perfectly.
I offer a ninety‑day support system designed to help you recover, rebuild, and find your footing again. It includes weekly 50‑minute sessions and steady, compassionate guidance between appointments. Together, we work on regulating your nervous system, understanding what’s been draining you, and building the habits and boundaries that support long‑term change.
The 90‑day reset is not a punishment; it is a new set of conditions, small, reliable inputs that teach your body that safety is available in ordinary doses.
Counselling, in parallel, is how you meet the reasons the algorithm learned to run so hard, so fast, for so long.
You do not need to summon courage for this; you need to practice simple skills repeatedly to reconnect and regulate yourself. You do not need to confess every memory at once; you need to build enough stability to process the ones that still power your current physiology. The arc that follows is not a miracle cure. It is a craft: a culture of daily safety stacked alongside skilled therapy that treats the roots so the shoots you grow don’t wither under the next storm.
My work blends integrative counselling, somatic regulation, and solution‑focused approaches.
But more importantly, it’s shaped around you, your pace, your story, your needs. We explore what’s happening beneath the surface, not to pathologise, but to understand. Growth happens when you feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to take small, meaningful steps forward.
The framework I use, the Growth Model, focuses on four core areas:
Identity — who you are beneath roles, expectations, and pressure
Regulation — building emotional and somatic steadiness
Direction — clarifying values, boundaries, and the life you want to build
Output — creating sustainable patterns of work, behaviour, and relationships
This approach is particularly helpful if you feel overwhelmed, undervalued, or disconnected from your real self. It supports you in moving from survival mode into grounded, intentional growth.
Anxiety, self‑doubt, and chronic pressure can quietly erode confidence.
When your nervous system is running high, even simple tasks can feel high‑stakes. Feedback can feel threatening. Visibility can feel exposing. You may find yourself overworking, holding back, or second‑guessing decisions you used to make with ease. None of this means you’re incapable; it means you’ve been carrying too much for too long.
In our work together, you’ll have space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the parts of you that still know what you want, what matters, and what needs to change.
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and grounded in psychological safety.
You don’t need to arrive with answers. You don’t need to be in crisis. You simply need to be willing to explore what’s happening inside you with honesty and gentleness.
If you’re a professional who feels disconnected from your real self, overwhelmed by expectations, or unsure how to move forward, this approach may be a strong fit. Many clients come because they want to grow, refine their identity, or build a healthier relationship with work, leadership, or themselves.
If something in you is asking for support, even quietly, I welcome you to reach out.
We can explore what you’re experiencing, what you need, and whether this space feels right for you. You deserve warmth, clarity, and a place where your wellbeing is taken seriously. You deserve to feel supported again.
Success is a byproduct of helping and supporting others.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
