About me

You’re Here for a Reason. Let’s Get to Work.
 
Life is messy. Therapy doesn’t need to be. You probably don’t want another spiel about ‘safe spaces’ or vague promises about ‘finding clarity’—you’ve read enough of that already. No doubt they’re important, but let’s focus on what matters most: understanding what’s holding you back and working on it. I won’t give you platitudes. Instead, we move into action. Whether it’s breaking old habits, managing stress, or just feeling like yourself again, we’ll take it one step at a time.

I could go on about my qualifications, but what truly matters is how therapy supports you in moving forward. With 15 years of experience and over 10,000 hours of client work, including my NHS experience, I’ve seen first-hand how things can change for the better—and I want to help you achieve that.
 
But let’s be real—experience and training only go so far. I’ve been through my own struggles. I know what it feels like when life becomes overwhelming, and I’ve worked my way through it. That’s why I don’t just approach therapy from textbooks—I approach it from life. I know therapy can feel out of reach. That’s why I offer reduced fees when possible, so more people can get the support they need.
 
Ready for more? Let’s open the door.
