About Me
Helping You Make Sense of What You’re Going Through
I’m a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with personal experience of depression and anxiety. I know how overwhelming things can feel, and how hard it can be to break free from patterns that keep you stuck.
My own journey into therapy is what drives my work today—offering a safe, understanding space where you can begin to feel more in control, more hopeful, and more like yourself again.
I have specialist training in trauma, including working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and rape, as well as supporting people with PTSD, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, relationship difficulties, and bereavement.
I also work with betrayal trauma and sex and porn addiction—areas that can feel particularly isolating or difficult to talk about. My approach is always respectful, confidential, and free from judgement.
Alongside CBT, I integrate EMDR, EFT, Transactional Analysis (TA), coaching, and hypnotherapy, allowing me to tailor therapy to you and your unique situation.
How I Can Help
You might be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You may be struggling in your relationships, dealing with past trauma, or trying to rebuild trust after betrayal.
Whatever brings you here, therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to move forward.
I offer one-to-one, confidential sessions where we work together at your pace. My focus is on helping you:
- Understand what’s going on for you
- Break unhelpful patterns
- Build healthier ways of coping
- Feel more confident and in control of your life
I may suggest simple, practical exercises between sessions to help you apply what we discuss in real life—supporting lasting change.
Why Choose Therapy?
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting.
Many people come to therapy feeling unsure, stuck, or simply tired of feeling the way they do. Whether you’re dealing with something specific or a general sense of unhappiness, therapy can help you gain clarity and direction.
There’s no “right” reason to start—just a willingness to explore and make things different.
Working Together
My aim is to create a calm, supportive environment where you feel safe to talk openly.
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you make sense of them and find new ways forward.
Change is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
