Anxiety – Finding Calm in the Storm of Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a constant whirlwind—thoughts racing, heart pounding, and a sense of being out of control. It’s a natural human response to life’s pressures, whether it’s exams, work deadlines, or simply navigating daily interactions. But when anxiety becomes overwhelming, it can leave us feeling trapped, disconnected, or ready to retreat.
I work with people who want to take back control from anxiety and feel more at ease in themselves. Together, we explore not only the emotional and mental patterns behind anxiety but also the physical side—like the important gut-brain connection. Factors such as long-term stress, nutrition, or medication can all play a role in how anxiety shows up in the body and mind.
Whether you’re lying awake with worries in the middle of the night or finding it hard to get your words out in social situations, you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support and practical tools, it is possible to quieten the noise and rediscover calm.

Relationships – Strengthening the Bonds That Matter Most
Relationships form the foundation of our lives. When they’re thriving, they bring love, support, and a deep sense of connection. But when challenges arise—whether it’s feeling unheard, coping with a painful breakup, or questioning your partner’s emotions—it can leave you feeling lost and unsure of the way forward. Seeking the right support early can make all the difference.
My approach is compassionate and practical. Traditional therapy may not reach the root of relationship struggles, which is why I take an intervention-focused approach designed to create real change. Drawing on the work of Stan Tatkin, I emphasise the importance of what he calls the “couple bubble”—a safe, secure space where both partners actively protect and nurture each other and the relationship itself.
While loving yourself is vital, it’s also true that our ability to love and connect begins in childhood with our earliest caregivers. If those foundations were disrupted, they can affect how we show up in adult relationships. That’s why I help individuals and couples build stronger, healthier patterns of connection—so that trust, clarity, and closeness can flourish.

Supporting Neurodivergent Minds in Therapy
Neurodivergence—including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and more—reflects natural differences in how brains are wired. These differences shape how we think, feel, and interact with the world, and they are not problems to be fixed.
In therapy, working with neurodivergent clients calls for curiosity, flexibility, and respect for each person’s unique ways of processing and expressing themselves. Many neurodivergent clients arrive with experiences of being misunderstood, judged, or pressured to “mask” their natural traits to fit neurotypical expectations. A trauma-informed, affirming approach can make a real difference. This might include adapting communication styles, allowing extra processing time, creating sensory-friendly environments, and respecting stimming or unconventional expression.
Counselling can offer structure, clarity, and predictability, while also exploring how challenges like emotional regulation, burnout, identity, and self-advocacy affect daily life. The key is collaboration: asking what feels helpful, what doesn’t, and what makes therapy feel safer.
Above all, therapy should recognise and validate your strengths and needs. By listening, learning, and adapting, we can create a truly inclusive space where neurodivergent clients feel understood, empowered, and supported to thrive.
Reclaiming Your Self-Worth
Low self-worth can quietly chip away at your confidence, even if on the outside everything seems “fine.” Past experiences, critical voices, or feelings of being an impostor can leave you doubting yourself, no matter your achievements.
I work with clients to reconnect with their true value and let go of persistent self-doubt. Together, we’ll use practical, compassionate tools to strengthen your self-esteem and help you feel more confident, grounded, and authentic.
You deserve to feel as good inside as you appear on the outside—and I’m here to help you bridge that gap, step by step.
Navigating Life’s Transitions
Change can feel unsettling, whether it comes as a new job, redundancy, a move, or the loss of a loved one. Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, while unexpected shifts can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step.
I help clients build a bridge from where they are now to where they want to be. Together, we explore your feelings, identify your strengths, and create practical strategies to navigate change with clarity and confidence. Through compassionate support, you can move through transitions more smoothly, regain a sense of control, and find a path forward that aligns with your values and goals.
Life’s changes don’t have to feel like a leap into the unknown—you can step forward with support, resilience, and hope.
