About me
I help individuals and couples move from a place of constant “alert” back into deep connection by quieting the noise of overthinking and worry.
Together, we'll set boundaries, reclaim your voice and uncover what truly lights you up.
My specialism areas:
🌿High-functioning and Relationship Anxiety🌿
High-functioning anxiety is a quiet thief - it drives your success but steals your peace. To the outside world, you're smashing it. But internally, the engine never stops running. You know that anxiety isn't just "in your head." You feel it in the stomach-sinking worry and that nauseous flutter that makes it hard to focus. You might recognise it as the tightness in your chest while waiting for a text or the way you overanalyse your partner’s tone of voice.
I help you move from 'coping' to actually exhaling - transforming that constant mental noise into the grounded calm.
🌿 Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA)🌿
Growing up in an unpredictable environment meant learning to read the room before you even walked into it. You became an expert at anticipating others' needs while burying your own. These early patterns often show up as relationship anxiety - the constant need for reassurance or the fear of being 'too much.'
We’ll work together to understand those old survival patterns, moving you from 'managing' everyone else's emotions to finally reclaiming your own voice and feeling secure in your connections.
🌿Couples Therapy🌿
When the space between you feels heavy with silence, sharp words, or the ache of what's unsaid, it can be hard to remember the ease you once shared.
I work with couples integratively, there is no blame here, no "winner" in the story - just two people, equally heard, equally held. We will break the cycles that keep you stuck - the protest, the shutdown and the reach that goes unanswered. Together, we'll turn these behaviours into softer, braver conversations that finally land.
Your life and your relationships are meant for more than anxiety and distance.

If you are looking for a deeper way to explore, I offer creative methods, such as sand tray or drawing, to process emotions through symbolic expression.
Let's use counselling as a tool to craft your own art of living

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.
