About me
I know what it means to rebuild your life when the scripts you’ve lived by no longer work or menopause has knocked you sideways whilst also adjusting to the next stages of life such as the grief you feel when your kids move out.
My practice is built on lived experience, honesty, and deep empathy. I don’t do traditional, robotic therapy. I won't sit in silence nodding blankly while you drown in major life transitions. Instead, I work collaboratively with you to navigate the messy, disorienting realities of major life shifts.
Rather than seeing therapy as a process of fixing, I see it as a shared exploration. We can look at your struggles together and make sense of what you’re going through.
We build something real, not polished or scripted. You talk at your pace where you get to drop the mask, say what’s actually going on, and feel seen and heard.
What Informs My Work
My background includes working in oncology and as a trauma-informed therapist. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and Autism as well as the LGBTQ+ community.
Trauma can mean many things. It is not only about extreme events. Trauma is any experience that overwhelms your ability to cope, leaving lasting emotional, mental, or even physical effects. It can come from sudden events or from ongoing stress, relationships, or environments. My role is to support you in making sense of these experiences with care and sensitivity.
These experiences have given me a deep awareness of how different challenges shape our lives, and they allow me to work attentively with the complex emotions that come with them.
Who I Work With
I welcome adults from every walk of life, especially those carrying things they’ve never said out loud. I regularly support people living with anxiety, depression and life upheaval, and I work with many forms of trauma, including sexual trauma. If you’re facing something painful or you simply need a space where you don’t have to hide, we work side by side to make sense of what’s happened and help you rebuild steadiness, meaning and a stronger sense of yourself.
What Matters to Me
For me, therapy is about genuine human connection. I believe that by building this connection, you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, and that understanding can be the foundation for real change.
What you can expect
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you explore what’s brought you to counselling, what you’re looking for, and how I can best support you. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you might have about my approach and what I can offer as a counsellor. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or if there’s anything you’d like to know.
