About Me

Helping high-achieving adults reconnect with themselves

You’re successful, capable, and creative, maybe you lead a team, run your own business, or solve problems every day. On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together. But on the inside, something doesn’t always feel right. Relationships feel harder than they should, patterns from the past resurface, and you’re left asking: Why does this keep happening?

That’s where therapy comes in. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface — to understand patterns, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with yourself.

Why I do this work

I grew up in a home where keeping the peace was a survival skill. It took me a long time to recognise how those early experiences shaped how I showed up in relationships and in life. My own therapy was a turning point – a chance to stop holding everything together and start feeling like myself again.

That experience inspired me to retrain as a counsellor. I’ve since completed a BA in Psychotherapy and Counselling (A.R.U.), and I’ve been featured in Essex Life Magazine, BBC Radio Essex, and The Guardian. What drives me is helping other adults build clarity, confidence, and self-understanding so they can break unhelpful cycles and create a life that feels theirs authentically.

My Approach

I work integratively, tailoring therapy to each person. At the heart of what I do is a person-centred approach where you lead the way and I walk alongside you.

Therapy with me is:

Practical and grounded, we explore patterns and take steps that make a real difference in your life.
Flexible; whether online or in-person, structured or exploratory, we will choose what feels right for you.
Warm and honest, you can be yourself, and I will address what needs to be addressed.

We might use tools from CBT, solution-focused work, inner child work, or polyvagal theory, selecting whatever supports your growth and helps you feel more in control of your life.

Who I work with

I support adults who are:

High-achieving, responsible, and creative, but quietly stuck or unfulfilled
Struggling with difficult family relationships, unresolved childhood patterns, or repeating cycles
People-pleasers or boundary-challenged, wanting to feel more confident in themselves
Reflective, fun, slightly geeky, and ready to do the work to understand themselves better

Why work with me?

Working with me gives you:

A safe, supportive space to reflect, understand, and grow
Guidance to recognise patterns without blame, fostering self-awareness and choice
Tools to set boundaries, rebuild confidence, and navigate relationships more effectively
Someone who truly gets it — warm, relatable, and professional

Ready to explore?

If this resonates, I’d love to connect. Start with a free introductory call to see how it feels to talk and whether we’re a good fit. Therapy is a collaborative process — the first step is simply exploring whether it feels right for you.
