About me
I support adults of all ages, including teenagers, young adults and students, who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected or under pressure. Perhaps you’re struggling with emotions, confidence, relationships, identity, study or life transitions, and aren’t sure how to move forward. With over 20 years’ experience working alongside students, alongside more recent experience supporting adults in therapy, I offer a warm, supportive space to help you understand yourself, build self-awareness and find ways of coping that feel right for you. I also support parents concerned about their young person.
My approach is warm, relational, compassionate and collaborative. Grounded in an integrative humanistic approach, I draw on Hakomi-informed and DBT-informed practices to support emotional awareness, self-understanding and coping skills. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy for those who feel more comfortable exploring outdoors.
I welcome adults at all stages of life, whether you’re navigating change, relationships, work, identity, anxiety, confidence or simply feeling stuck. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard and make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we can explore what matters to you, deepen self-understanding and find new ways of moving forward.

Further information
I have over 20 years’ experience working alongside students, supporting young people through the challenges of education, relationships, identity and transitions into adulthood. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, both for young people and their parents, and I aim to make the process as comfortable and accessible as possible.
Alongside traditional therapy sessions, I offer walk-and-talk therapy, which can be particularly helpful for young people who find it easier to open up while moving side-by-side rather than sitting face-to-face.
I work collaboratively, respecting each person’s pace and individuality. I welcome conversations with parents who are concerned about their teenager and would like to explore what support may be helpful.
I practise within the ethical framework of my professional membership and am committed to maintaining safe, thoughtful and responsible therapeutic practice. I receive regular clinical supervision and continue to develop my skills through ongoing professional learning and reflection.
