About me
Has life begun to feel like survival mode, where each day becomes something to get through before waking up and doing it all again?
Does your mind feel stuck on repeat, overthinking the past, worrying about the future, or asking, “What if this happens?” or “What if I had done that differently?”
When life hits hardest, it can affect the things that matter most. Relationships, work, confidence, self-esteem, boundaries, and the way you feel about yourself can all begin to suffer, even when you are trying your best to move forward.
I have a particular interest in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, cPTSD, addiction, and recovery. I also provide dedicated support for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD adults who feel worn down by neurotypical expectations, overwhelmed by daily life, or misunderstood in relationships.
When survival mode spills into everyday life
- Work may begin to feel like a prison of stress and anxiety. Social situations can feel draining or irritating because you are already running on empty.
- Pressure can start to spill into relationships and family life. This may lead to conflict, emotional reactions, shutting down, or withdrawing from the people around you.
- You may find yourself looking for temporary relief through scrolling, drinking, drugs, porn, gambling, comfort eating, isolation, or emotionally switching off.
- Emotions may also feel unpredictable or harder to understand, leaving you unsettled, up and down, or unsure how you are going to feel from one day to the next.
When these experiences are misunderstood or minimised, it can leave you feeling as though you are the problem, too much for others, or better off keeping things to yourself.
How therapy can help
Therapy offers a space to slow things down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. One hour a week can become a space that is just for you, away from the usual pressure of work, family life and responsibilities.
- Together, we can explore how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and past experiences may be affecting life in the present.
- The work may involve making sense of trauma responses, shame, self-criticism, relationship patterns, anxiety, stress, or overwhelm.
- Some sessions may be more reflective, giving space to talk and understand past experiences.
- Others may be more practical, focusing on grounding, emotional regulation, self-compassion, boundaries, communication, or healthier ways of coping.
A flexible way of working
I believe therapy should fit the person, not the other way around. Rather than following a rigid script, I work in a flexible and responsive way, drawing from different therapeutic approaches depending on who you are, what you are struggling with, and what feels most helpful for you.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy online, by telephone, and face-to-face in Redruth and Penryn, Cornwall.
What clients say
Clients often describe feeling clearer, steadier, and more able to understand themselves over time. Many notice changes in how they respond to stress, relationships, and the pressures of daily life.
Sessions are often described as calm, grounded, and easy to talk in, helping people open up, reflect, and feel less alone with what they are carrying.
Taking the next step
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. A free initial consultation gives you space to ask questions, talk things through, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.

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.
