About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, but aren’t sure why?
Do you find yourself struggling with emotions that seem out of control, or behaviours that you can’t explain?
You might be feeling disconnected, constantly on edge, or find yourself reacting strongly to situations that seem minor. These patterns and emotions may stem from trauma, which can leave lasting marks on your mental, emotional and physical health.
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you; it’s about how those experiences are affecting you now. You don’t have to live with these struggles alone.
Whether online or outdoors through Nature-based Walk and Talk Therapy, I specialise in helping people make sense of their experiences - past and present - and move beyond them.
My approach puts you at the centre, ensuring that you feel safe and supported as we work through your difficulties together in a way that works for you.
Through online sessions or outdoor, walk-and-talk therapy, I provide a confidential space where you can explore your feelings without judgment. If you’re ready to take the first step towards feeling better, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to help you find clarity, peace, and a path forward.

Further information
The relationship between us is key to the success of the work we do together, which is why I offer a free 30 minute initial discussion so that I can find out about you and for us to decide if we would be good for working with each other.
I offer both Online and Walk & Talk Therapy - in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales.
I'm available most weekdays, evenings & Saturday mornings.
