I believe you are the expert on your own life. As a humanistic and EMDR therapist, I won’t tell you what choices to make or direct your journey. Instead, I will walk alongside you, helping you understand your experiences, reconnect with your strengths and find a way forward that feels right for you.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, high-quality and inclusive therapy. Every part of your identity is welcome, and you will be met with respect, acceptance and without judgement.

I combine person-centred and relational therapy with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that can help people process distressing memories, trauma and phobias, reducing the impact these experiences continue to have in the present.

Trauma, PTSD and phobias
Using EMDR to help you process difficult experiences and specific fears, allowing you to feel safer and more grounded.

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
Providing a genuinely inclusive space in which you can explore identity, self-expression, relationships and the effects of minority stress.

Anxiety, overwhelm and work-related stress
Helping you understand patterns of worry, manage pressure and begin moving away from exhaustion or burnout.

Relationships, intimacy and grief
Exploring relationship difficulties, loss, heartbreak and the emotional challenges that can accompany significant changes in your life.

Therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself. I aim to offer a warm, accepting relationship in which you can speak openly, explore difficult experiences and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Whether you are processing long-held pain, navigating a significant life transition or simply trying to understand how you feel, I trust both the therapeutic process and your capacity to discover your own way forward.

You don’t need to arrive with all the answers. We can begin with where you are now.
