Relationships • Work stress • Navigating change
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. You might be struggling in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of work, questioning who you are and where you're heading, or facing a crossroads after a significant life change.
From the outside, it may seem as though you're coping, keeping everything together for everyone else. But on the inside, you're beginning to wonder how much longer you can keep pretending everything is OK.
These pressures can cause anxiety, a loss of confidence, low mood and stress. Therapy will help you make sense of what's happening, understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity and self-belief.
How I Work
I have a particular interest in working with relationship difficulties, identity and self-discovery, work-related stress and burnout, and life transitions. Whether you're experiencing conflict with a partner or family member, questioning your sense of self, feeling overwhelmed by career pressures, or adjusting to a major change such as becoming a parent, changing careers, or coping with loss, therapy can provide a space to make sense of what you're experiencing.
Together, we can explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, helping you develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. Therapy isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating the space to understand yourself more deeply, find new perspectives, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling and psychotherapy both offer a safe, confidential space to explore what’s happening in your life, and the terms are often used interchangeably. Counselling can be helpful when you are facing a specific challenge, such as relationship difficulties, work stress, grief or a major life transition. Psychotherapy may involve exploring deeper emotional patterns, past experiences and ways of relating that can influence how you feel and behave today. I draw on both counselling and psychotherapy approaches, tailoring our work to your individual needs and goals. Whether you are looking for support with a current challenge or seeking lasting personal change, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
How often will I need to come?
Many clients find that weekly sessions are most helpful, particularly in the early stages of therapy, as they help build momentum and create a strong therapeutic relationship. However, some clients prefer to attend fortnightly, or move to fortnightly sessions once they feel more settled in the work. For longer-term clients, occasional check-in sessions can also be a helpful way to maintain progress and reflect on any new challenges that arise.
Are sessions confidential?
Sessions are confidential, with a small number of important exceptions. These include situations where I believe that you, or someone else, may be at serious risk of harm. I will always aim to discuss any concerns with you wherever possible. Full details of my confidentiality policy can be found in my privacy policy.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are normally charged, except in exceptional circumstances.
How do I book a session?
You can book a session online via my website, or contact me by email or phone. If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss how I may be able to help.
Do you work with health insurance providers?
Yes, I work with several health insurance providers, including BUPA, AXA, Aviva and Vitality. If you are using insurance to fund therapy, please check with your provider regarding authorisation and any requirements before booking.
What types of payment do you accept?
Sessions can be paid for by bank transfer in advance, cash on the day, or by credit card if you book online.
