I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and practical — we'll make sense of what's happening together, then build skills you can actually use between sessions.
How I work
The first thing we'll do is slow down. Most people arrive having carried something alone for a long time, and the priority is making the room feel safe enough to set it down — at whatever pace suits you.
From there, my work is grounded in cognitive behaviour therapy, EMDR and schema therapy. We'll also pay attention to sleep, movement, connection and work alongside what happens in session — therapy that ignores the rest of your week rarely sticks.

Your first session with me
Expect a conversation, not an interrogation. I'll ask what's been happening and what you'd like to be different — you only share what you're ready to. By the end, we'll have a rough map, and you'll know whether I feel like the right fit. If I'm not, I'll help you find someone who is.
Where I do my deepest work.
A range of concerns, with particular experience in these areas.
Anxiety & panic
Generalised anxiety, panic, health anxiety and the kind of relentless overthinking that runs in the background of everything.
Trauma & PTSD
Single-incident and complex trauma, including EMDR for memories that still feel close even when the event is long past.
Life transitions
Career change, migration, identity, becoming a parent — the in-between seasons that quietly ask everything of us.
Services, assessments & funding.
The specific supports, assessments and funding pathways available with me — kept up to date by our practice.
