My aim is to help clients navigate personal challenges while fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I work with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger (including maternal rage) and trauma (PTSD and C-PTSD).
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks and behaves.
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness or fear that occurs in response to a perceived threat, uncertainty or stress.
Stress is the body’s natural response to pressure or demands. It is often triggered by external situations such as work deadlines or financial concerns.
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact of experiencing or witnessing deeply distressing events such as abuse, violence, accidents or loss.
Problematic anger refers to anger that feels intense, frequent, or difficult to control, and begins to negatively affect a person’s relationships, work or overall wellbeing.
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Practitioner Psychologist and with the British Psychological Society (BPS) as a Chartered Psychologist. I am a member of the Division of Counselling Psychology and the EMDR Association UK.

Counselling Psychologists apply psychological theory and evidence-based research in therapeutic work to help clients with a wide range of emotional and mental health difficulties. These may include issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the impact of significant life events.
Becoming a Counselling Psychologist requires completing doctoral-level training and developing deep self-awareness through personal therapy and ongoing professional supervision. This combination of academic knowledge and personal insight enables Counselling Psychologists to work collaboratively and compassionately with clients.
Psychological therapy provides a safe and confidential space for open dialogue between you and your therapist. Together, current difficulties, past experiences, and future concerns are explored and how these may be affecting your life and wellbeing.
My role is not to give advice or tell you what to do, but to listen attentively, encourage reflection, and help you gain greater understanding of yourself. Through this process, you may begin to identify patterns, explore new perspectives, and make meaningful changes.
Therapy isn’t the right choice for everyone at every stage, but many people find that talking openly with someone impartial and non-judgemental can bring significant relief and positive change.
The number of sessions varies from person to person. It depends on your current concerns, personal history, and goals for therapy. Some specific issues may be addressed in eight to twelve sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work over several months or more.
We will review progress regularly to ensure the therapy remains focused, relevant, and supportive of your ongoing needs.
