I've helped my clients through challenges both big and small in their lives; career changes, grief and loss, relationship struggles, trauma, parenthood and pregnancy, low self-esteem and anxiety to name just a few. I have years of specialist training and practical experience with these and many other issues.

It might be that you've been struggling with low mood (depression) or overwhelm/ anxiety for a while and you've tried lots of different things. Maybe you've been to the GP and are trying SSRIs and you're wondering what next? Perhaps you've tried some Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or mindfulness but need something more or different. I can build on CBT techniques you already have, or teach them as we go along to build a set of mental health tools that works for you.

Or it might be that you feel like you're no longer enjoying things like you once did?  Difficult transitions like menopause, retirement, leaving home, and parenthood can leave us feeling lost and alone. Things like alcohol, doom scrolling or comfort eating might once have soothed us but they can stop helping suddenly and leave us feeling worse. Therapy with me isn’t about judging you (or you judging yourself!) but learning why we’ve found these ways of coping and how we can gently shift ourselves towards healthier ways of managing life’s ups and downs.

Maybe you don't recognise yourself in any of these descriptions. And maybe that's how it's always felt - like you don't fit in, like you're somehow 'wrong'. Maybe you're ok with this difference but want to explore what it means for your relationships. Or maybe you're stuck carrying other people's expectations of how you 'should' be.

I'm so pleased that you've found your way here - it's a brave first step to acknowledge to yourself that you want to change something and that you might need help to do it. It would be my honour to be a part of your journey to a more fulfilling life.
