About me
You’ve always been the achiever - at school, at work, in your family. Maybe you’re starting to realise how often you abandon your own needs to meet others’ expectations. Or how much your self-worth depends on productivity or being “useful.” You might even be wondering if your anxiety is linked to how you were parented, and perhaps your sensitivity or burnout is linked to undiagnosed ADHD.
You are the one others turn to. You show up, do your best, and hold yourself to high standards. And yet, you’re often overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and unsure how to stop the inner voice that tells you "you're not enough".
Maybe you're noticing constant doubt and self-judgment. Or you're battling a sense of impostor syndrome at work, constantly questioning if you belong - even when you're objectively doing well. You might also be experiencing chronic health issues - headaches, body pain, fatigue, or insomnia - and wondering if they’re linked to stress, anxiety, or burnout.
In relationships, it can feel even more confusing. You might find yourself anxious, overthinking, or stuck in the same patterns - choosing people who don’t value you, or unintentionally pushing people away when things feel too vulnerable. You may feel resentful and like you're always the one trying harder, or that no matter how much you give, you still feel like "you're getting it wrong".
Many of my clients grew up fast, were the mediators in the family, learned to mask or over-function, learned to produce results to prove their worth, and now feel disconnected from who they truly are. In therapy, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcome - even the ones you’ve spent years masking or hiding.
I don’t offer quick fixes or “one-size-fits-all” advice. Instead, I work relationally and collaboratively: we’ll explore how your past has shaped your patterns, and gently build more flexible, sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others in the present. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way - whether it’s anxiety, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or past traumatic experiences - and find tools that actually work for you.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, grounded in evidence-based therapies like CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Many of my clients are navigating burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, chronic health issues, late diagnosis of ADHD, and difficulties with relationships - often with the added complexity of cross-cultural identity, early attachment wounds, or being misunderstood for years.
We’ll go at your pace and tailor therapy to what you most need - whether that’s space to reflect, skills to manage the day-to-day, or support in finding your voice.
Training, qualifications & experience
- BA(Hons) Psychology - University of Strathclyde

My psychological approach has been formed by being trained in both clinical and health psychology- which means that I work holistically, with the body in mind and considering one's context when it comes to mental health. I'm also active in research through supervising doctorate projects.

I also offer one-off assessment appointments, providing guidance and recommendations for further self-help using tailored resources. These can include screening assessments for ADHD and autism, following which I provide a report and advise on whether funding further assessments may be warranted.
