“As a therapist and coach I am friendly, down-to-earth, and invested in helping you to achieve the change that matters most to you. I am committed to listening carefully, respecting your experiences, and accepting you as you are. I provide compassionate support, allowing you to be honest, curious, and courageous in facing your difficulties. I aim to offer you the optimum balance of encouragement and challenge along with the psychological insights and tools that empower you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Through my years as a clinician and coach it continues to give me genuine joy to see my clients use psychology to take charge of their own lives”.

I have over ten years’ experience in supporting clients with a wide range of mental health challenges. In addition to my clinical work, I specialise in work-related wellbeing, helping clients optimize resilience and performance, often in the context of neurodivergence and trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with physical health conditions, such as cancer, chronic pain, and neurological symptoms, to manage their mental health and live well. A key focus of my work is helping clients navigate identity, meaning, and purpose during life transitions, fostering self-acceptance and clarity about who they are and how they want to live.
