About me and my therapy practice
I'm passionate about helping people break free from the exhausting cycles of burnout, stress, and anxiety that keep them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. My approach is grounded in the belief that you already have the strength within you—sometimes you just need the right support to access it.
Practice description
I blend evidence-based therapies with a warm, relational approach that feels genuinely supportive rather than clinical. My sessions integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming and practical boundary-setting strategies. This combination helps you understand the patterns keeping you stuck while developing concrete tools for lasting change.
Every client's journey is unique, so I tailor our work together based on your specific needs, goals, and circumstances. Whether you're dealing with workplace burnout, relationship stress, perfectionism, or anxiety, we'll work collaboratively to create meaningful shifts in how you think, feel, and respond to life's challenges.
My first session
Our work begins with understanding your story and identifying what's most important to you right now. From there, we develop a collaborative plan that feels manageable and sustainable. I believe in being direct yet gentle, challenging yet supportive—helping you move forward without overwhelming you.
I create a non-judgmental space where you can explore difficult emotions and experiences at your own pace. My style is conversational and down-to-earth rather than formal or intimidating. You'll leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with practical strategies you can implement immediately.
Sessions are available both online and face-to-face, offering flexibility to fit your lifestyle and preferences. I work with young people and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout and low self-esteem.
