I am a qualified psychotherapist, grief and loss counsellor and trauma-informed practitioner.
I specialise in working with adults navigating life transitions and emotional overwhelm. Many of the people I work with are balancing the demands of relationships, parenting, caring for ageing parents, career change, burnout or shifting identities, while feeling stuck, disconnected or unsure of who they are beyond the roles they have carried for years.
Together, we explore experiences such as anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, relationship difficulties and major life transitions; experiences that often overlap and inform one another. These periods of change can also bring older emotional wounds to the surface, and I work compassionately with developmental and childhood trauma, including emotional and sexual abuse, recognising how earlier experiences can continue to shape the present.
If you would like to ask a question or arrange an initial conversation, please get in touch. I offer a free 20-minute consultation, giving you space to decide whether working together feels right.
Work With Me
I have worked with a wide range of clients, from different personal, professional and cultural backgrounds.
I have a particular interest working with:
Adults Navigating Career and Life Transitions
Whether you are a young adult feeling stuck between expectations and reality or mid-career and questioning your path.
People Facing Loss in all its Forms
Bereavement, relationship endings, family estrangement, aging parents or the quieter losses that come with time passing and roles changing. Sometimes present loss reopens earlier wounds; childhood experiences of abandonment, emotional neglect or grief that was never processed.
Those Repeating painful patterns
The effects of trauma – including developmental and childhood trauma, sexual and emotional abuse and the lasting impact of of early adverse experiences, which can surface at any point in life, often in ways that feel surprising or difficult to connect to the past. Pushing through when something feels hard because struggle feels familiar, staying in relationships or situations that diminish you or wondering why you keep ending up in the same place despite trying so hard to change. These patterns often stem from early trauma or emotional neglect and have developed as ways of coping.
