Psychotherapist

I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel difficult, especially when you are used to holding everything together for others. On the outside, you may look as though you are managing, but inside you might feel overwhelmed, tired, and as though your mind never really switches off, at times, even small things can feel overwhelming. In relationships, you may feel unsure where you stand, sensitive to changes in tone or contact, and worried that you are “too much” or asking for too much.

Many of the women I work with feel caught in patterns of overthinking, people pleasing, and self doubt. They often say they feel like they have lost touch with themselves, are constantly adapting to others, and are tired of carrying responsibility for everyone else’s emotions. Deep down, they want to feel more secure, more confident, and more able to trust themselves. You might find it hard to say no, feel guilty when setting boundaries, or keep things in until they build into anxiety or overwhelm. Even when things feel difficult, you may still find yourself saying “I’m fine”.

I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you do not have to hold everything together. A space where you can slow down and talk openly, without pressure or judgement Starting therapy can feel uncertain, especially if it is new to you. You do not need to know what to say or how to begin.

Therapy with me is a supportive, collaborative conversation. I am an active therapist and will help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models and tailor our work to you. I also use psychoeducation to help you understand what is happening internally, so things feel clearer and more manageable. To help you strengthen your sense of self, and feeling more secure in your relationships.

About me

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I work in line with their Ethical Framework. My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to you as an individual, rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is an important part of the process. Feeling safe, heard, and understood can make it easier to explore what is going on for you. I work collaboratively with you, not as an expert telling you what to do, but alongside you as you make sense of your experiences in your own way.

Our sessions may focus on what is happening for you right now, while also gently exploring how past experiences may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I will never push you to talk about anything you are not ready for, but I may gently challenge you at times to help you reflect and gain new understanding.

My approach

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you’re not sure what to expect or you’ve only seen it portrayed in films or heard about other people’s experiences. You might be wondering if you’ll know what to say, if it will feel awkward, or if you’ll be judged in any way. A lot of people feel this way at the beginning. Therapy with me is a real, supportive conversation, not silent or distant. I’m an active and engaged therapist, and I may gently ask questions, reflect things back, or help you make sense of patterns as we go. There’s no pressure to have the “right” words or to know where to start. We go at your pace, and you don’t need to perform or explain things perfectly. My aim is to offer a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to talk openly without judgement.
