About me
Anxiety, Emotional Overwhelm & Nervous System Healing | Trauma-Informed Integrative Therapy
Congratulations on taking the brave, first step in your healing journey. Whatever has brought you here, whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, disconnected, stuck or simply aware that something doesn't feel quite right, you are welcome here.
My approach is holistic, compassionate and nervous system-informed. I believe that healing is not simply about talking through problems; it is about understanding how our experiences live within our minds, bodies and nervous systems.
Many of the people I work with have spent years pushing through, holding everything together for everyone else, overthinking, over-functioning, people-pleasing or feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, freeze or shutdown. Often they know something needs to change, but they don't know where to begin.
Before exploring deeper emotions, patterns or past experiences, we focus on helping you understand your nervous system, reconnect with your body and develop tools that help you feel more grounded, present and supported in everyday life.
I work collaboratively with you, recognising that you are the expert on your own experience. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion and understanding as you reconnect with yourself.
You remain at the centre of every session.
Your pace.
Your needs.
Your experiences.
Your choices.
Your healing journey.
My aim is to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself, build nervous system flexibility and create a stronger sense of safety, connection and trust within your own body.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through compassionate awareness, meaningful connection and the gradual experience of feeling safe enough to be yourself.
You May Be Feeling...
- Constantly overwhelmed, anxious or unable to switch off.
- Exhausted from carrying too much for too long.
- Stuck in cycles of overthinking, worry or self-doubt.
- Burnt out, emotionally drained or disconnected from yourself.
- Numb, shut down or struggling to find motivation.
- Like you're always in survival mode and never truly able to relax.
- Unsure why you react the way you do in certain situations.
- Frustrated by patterns you can't seem to change.
- Disconnected from what brings you joy, meaning or fulfilment.
- Ready to understand yourself more deeply and create lasting change.
How You May Feel Working With Me
Many clients tell me they begin to feel:
- More aware of their nervous system and how stress affects them.
- More connected to their thoughts, emotions and bodily signals.
- More grounded in moments that would once have felt overwhelming.
- More compassionate towards themselves and their experiences.
- More empowered to recognise what they need and respond with choice.
- More confident in supporting themselves through life's challenges.
- More present in their relationships, daily life and sense of self.
This work is not about fixing you. It is about helping you understand yourself with greater compassion, build safety within your nervous system and create space for lasting growth and change.
Who I Work Best With
You may feel drawn to my approach if you:
- Experience anxiety, overwhelm, burnout or chronic stress.
- Feel stuck in survival patterns such as overworking, people-pleasing or perfectionism.
- Struggle with freeze, shutdown, emotional numbness or disconnection.
- Want to better understand your nervous system and responses to stress.
- Are looking for a gentle, compassionate and trauma-informed approach.
- Want to reconnect with yourself rather than continue pushing through.
- Are seeking meaningful, sustainable change rather than temporary relief.
- Want a space where you can explore your experiences without judgement.
Areas I Support With
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Burnout and exhaustion
- Nervous system regulation
- Functional freeze and shutdown
- Emotional overwhelm
- Self-worth and self-criticism
- Boundaries and people-pleasing
- Identity and life transitions
- Trauma-informed healing
- Reconnection to self
- Emotional awareness and regulation
- Building resilience and capacity
I believe that every response your nervous system has developed has served a purpose at some point in your life.
Many of the patterns that now feel frustrating or exhausting were once ways of coping, adapting and surviving. Together we can begin to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgement.
My commitment is to provide a safe, supportive and compassionate space where you can be honest with yourself, explore your experiences at your own pace and gradually build trust in your ability to support yourself.
I believe healing happens through connection. Through being seen. Through being understood. Through learning that you no longer have to navigate everything alone.
Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your sense of safety and discover what it means to move from surviving towards living more fully and authentically.

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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
As a Reiki Master, I am able to offer you online, distance or face to face reiki healing services. Our face to face sessions would have to be seated as my room isn't able to fit a table in. However, this won't affect the treatment you will recieve - Reiki always knows where it needs to go. If you would like to know more about how Reiki can support you in your life please feel free to email me.
I am a qualified Breathwork Coach and am on my journey to become an EFT Practitioner. In which I will be able to offer as separate sessions or as part of your therapeutic journey.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I have a special interest in energy healing and working on a somatic level to help empower you, to reconnect to your authenticity and remove blockages that may be in your way.
