Hello

At the heart of my work is a belief that you are not broken or in need of 'fixing', but we all find ourselves stuck from time to time in patterns that once made sense. I draw on evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR).

 

My background is in working with individuals living with chronic conditions such as CFS/ME and Long Covid, as well as those in what I call 'giving' professions, like healthcare staff and teachers. I have particular experience in supporting people facing burnout, exhaustion, depression, anxiety and difficulties rooted in traumatic events. Many of my clients are thoughtful, curious individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they've lost sight of who they are and what they want. Together, we work to make sense of these experiences and explore ways to build resilience, restore balance, and connect with what matters.

 

My work is influenced by philosophy, meaning I'm often thinking about the big-picture questions we all carry: purpose, identity, uncertainty, freedom, connection. I also pay close attention to the wider systems and life experiences that impact our wellbeing - including workplace culture, health challenges, social roles, and inequality. 

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood. I aim to bring warmth, humour and honesty to sessions, and to strike the right balance between gentle support and practical direction.

 

Outside of sessions, I'm slowly working my way through the Wainwrights, veggie recipe-testing, and reading the same few books again and again! Whenever possible, I retreat to the tranquillity of the Lake District - a place that really inspires my work and values.
