Practitioner Statement

You might look like you’re coping on the outside — but internally, it feels overwhelming or exhausting.

Maybe your thoughts won’t switch off, or relationships feel confusing, distant, or emotionally draining. You may find yourself stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, or the impact of past experiences, where things don’t seem to change for long.

I work with both individuals and couples who are ready for more than just a space to talk — they want to understand what is happening and find a way forward that feels more manageable and lasting.

With individual clients, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and how these patterns can keep difficulties going. With couples, I use an integrative, relationship-focused approach, drawing on attachment theory and approaches such as Gottman and Imago to help improve communication, understanding, and connection.

Together, we make sense of what’s happening and work towards meaningful, practical change, helping you feel clearer, more grounded, and more in control of your life and relationships.

I Specialise in Trauma, Relationship counselling and CBT.
