About me
You may find yourself snapping more easily, feeling anxious or flat, or wondering why things that once felt manageable no longer do. From the outside, you may look like you are coping and holding things together, but on the inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you have lost part of yourself along the way.
You may have spent years looking after everyone else and become really good at coping. Perhaps you have reached a point where this no longer feels sustainable and you want more from life. You may not even be sure exactly what is wrong; you just know that something doesn't feel right and that you would like some support.
I work with adults who are questioning things, trying to understand themselves better, or feeling ready for something to change. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, OCD, autism and ADHD, childhood abuse, addiction, and the impact that difficult experiences can have on how we see ourselves and relate to others.
I am an integrative therapist, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.
I spend time getting to know you and creating an environment where you feel safe to share, explore and understand what is happening for you. Together, we can begin to make sense of your experiences, look at what may be contributing to how you feel now, and explore what choices you do have.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. Sometimes knowing that something isn't right is enough of a place to start.
I offer psychotherapy to adults in Woking, Surrey and online. If you would like to discuss whether therapy might be helpful for you, please book a free 20-minute telephone consultation.

Additional information
I provide a free 20 minute telephone consultation in the first instance so we can get to know each other better and to see I am the right therapist for you.

Further information
Alongside my private practice, I have experience working within the children’s healthcare sector, supporting young people and their families through complex emotional and medical challenges. This has given me a deep understanding of how family systems function under pressure, and how parental stress, worry and responsibility can take a quiet toll over time. It also informs the way I support parents navigating the teenage years, helping you respond with steadiness rather than self-blame.
I have also worked within a charity supporting individuals experiencing addiction and a wide range of mental health difficulties. This role strengthened my understanding of anxiety, depression, trauma and the coping strategies people develop to manage overwhelming feelings. It reinforced my belief in meeting each person with compassion, curiosity and respect, recognising that behaviours often make sense in the context of someone’s history and circumstances.
These experiences continue to shape my integrative, person-centred approach. Whether you are navigating perimenopause, relationship strain, parenting pressures or exploring possible late-identified neurodivergence, I offer a thoughtful and non-judgemental space where we can gently make sense of what you are carrying and find ways forward that feel realistic and sustainable.
I look forward to working with you and exploring ways in which you can improve your life day to day.
