I specialise in helping people manage anxiety and stress, overcome low mood, and boost confidence and low self-esteem. I’m a therapist and coach working with evidence-based approaches – and I have personal experience that they work and can turn your life around! I know what it is like to struggle with anxiety and self-doubt while outwardly seeming successful and functioning. I believe that changing your relationship with yourself is the key to achieving peace of mind, and flourishing in all aspects of life, including relationships, career and physical health.
What do I do?
I offer short and longer term counselling and coaching.
How do I work?
I currently work by Zoom and telephone.
What can I help with?
The heart of all the work I do is understanding how past events may be impacting current behaviour, experiences and relationships. We also work with changing the relationship you have with yourself by developing self-acceptance and self-compassion. I often use CBT and ACT-based approaches to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and coaching to help you connect with your core values and personal strengths.
What training do I have?
My training and qualifications cover human relationships and development, the influence of lifestyle on mental health, and how our thinking habits and core beliefs influence our self-image and experience of life. I am committed to ongoing training and personal development. See below for details of my qualifications.

Who do I work with?
I work with individuals aged 21 and over who are functioning and may seem outwardly ‘successful’, but feel that life could be better, or who are seeking greater self-knowledge or understanding of why they feel or act in a certain way. I currently do not work with couples. If you are looking for help overcoming serious abuse, trauma or debilitating mental health conditions or if you are actively suicidal, I would advise you to seek a more suitably qualified therapist.
