About me

I am a HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist with a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, providing evidence-based therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and complex life transitions.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but internally struggling, managing careers, relationships, and responsibilities while feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I specialise in supporting individuals who experience persistent overthinking, low mood, emotional numbness, self-criticism, and stress-related exhaustion.

My approach is integrative and tailored to the individual. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and person-centred approaches, allowing us to explore both present-day coping strategies and the deeper patterns that may be maintaining distress. Alongside insight and reflection, I offer practical tools where appropriate, ensuring therapy feels both containing and constructive.

I aim to provide a calm, structured, and non-judgemental space where clients feel able to speak openly. Therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable, with a focus on building emotional awareness, resilience, and a more balanced relationship with oneself.

In addition to private practice, I work as a Counselling Psychologist within an inpatient hospital setting, supporting men with complex mental health needs. This role strengthens my clinical formulation skills and informs a thoughtful, structured approach to therapy.
