About me

Many of the people I work with hold everything together on the outside, while privately feeling overwhelmed, stuck or exhausted inside.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years' experience and EMDR accredited, working full time in my own busy private practice. I bring experience from the NHS and UK Military, supporting people through some of the most challenging and emotionally overwhelming periods of their lives.

Many of the people I work with describe feeling capable and composed on the outside, while privately struggling with anxiety, trauma, burnout, overthinking or a persistent sense of not being okay.

They often keep going for everyone else, hold a lot of responsibility, and feel pressure to function at a high level even when their internal world feels heavy, unsettled or close to breaking point.
If this feels familiar, I see you, and you do not need to keep battling through it on your own.

I specialise in supporting adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, burnout, work-related stress, sleep difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns that keep them stuck.

My approach is warm, steady and grounded in sound, evidence based clinical practice. I aim to help you understand what is happening now, where it comes from, and help to bring lasting change so that life feels lighter, calmer and more manageable again.

Alongside my therapy work, I use EMDR-informed coaching approaches within corporate and performance settings, supporting leaders, founders, athletes and creative professionals who carry immense pressure and often ignore their own needs until they reach breaking point. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, rebuild internal stability and reconnect you with the part of yourself that feels capable, clear and in control.

I invest heavily in my own ongoing learning and development, to ensure I deliver the best to my clients. I work online, nationwide and overseas, offering a safe, confidential space where you can slow down, feel understood and begin to process what has been weighing on you for far too long.

If you are finding yourself exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or simply unable to switch off, I can help. You do not have to try to figure this out on your own.
