About me

Do you feel stuck in anxious overthinking, constantly questioning yourself, or worn down by a harsh inner critic? You may know your worries don’t always make sense — yet they still feel overwhelming and hard to switch off.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, and low self-esteem who want practical ways to break unhelpful thinking patterns, feel more confident in themselves, and regain a sense of control and balance in their lives.

My approach is practical and structured, helping you understand how thoughts, beliefs, and reactions can lead to anxiety, low mood, and low confidence — and, importantly, how to change them. I use Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), a form of CBT focusing on developing emotional resilience and lasting change rather than short-term reassurance.

Having experienced anxiety myself, I know how consuming it can feel — and how empowering it is to find your way through. That experience helps me bring true understanding and authenticity to my relationship with every client.

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch to see whether we might be a good fit.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
