Persistent worry, panic, overthinking and the exhaustion that comes with them. Together we look at what is driving the anxiety and build steadier ways of coping.
Feeling flat, hopeless or disconnected, or grieving a death, a separation or a major life change. Space to understand what is underneath and find a way forward at your own pace.
Patterns that keep repeating in relationships, the lasting effects of past experiences, and the harsh self-criticism that often goes with them. Careful, one-to-one work at a pace that feels safe.

I provide support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem and life transitions. My services cater to both adults and teenagers.
