My background

Why I became a therapist

I came to therapy after experiencing anxiety myself, and I know first-hand how overwhelming it can feel when your mind won't slow down. That personal experience is what drew me to this work — I wanted to offer the kind of support I once needed.

I trained as an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches — including CBT, person-centred therapy, and coaching — to tailor sessions to each individual. There is no one-size-fits-all in therapy, and I take time to understand what will work best for you.

I also have specialist experience supporting clients with ADHD and AuDHD, helping them understand how their neurodivergence intersects with anxiety and develop practical strategies that fit their lives.

How I work

Warm, collaborative, and practical

My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. Sessions are a space where you can speak freely, explore what is holding you back, and begin to build a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings.

I offer both counselling and coaching, and often weave the two together — counselling to explore the roots of anxiety, and coaching to build practical tools and confidence for everyday life.
