People come to therapy for many reasons - stress, uncertainty, internal conflict, relationship patterns, burnout, or simply a desire to understand themselves more deeply. My approach is grounded, supportive and collaborative, with an emphasis on helping you make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Below are some of the areas I commonly work with. These descriptions are intended to help you decide whether my approach is a good fit for your needs.

​

STRESS & ANXIETY

Stress and worry can affect mood, sleep, decision-making and physical wellbeing. Therapy offers space to explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion, understand the patterns that contribute to overwhelm, and develop strategies that support steadiness and clarity.

​

TRAUMA (INCLUDING COMPLEX TRAUMA & PTSD)

Difficult or overwhelming experiences can leave emotional and physical traces that shape how you respond to the world. My approach integrates EMDR, somatic awareness and trauma-informed principles, supporting exploration and regulation at a pace that feels safe and grounded.

​

RELATIONSHIPS & ATTACHMENT

Therapy can help you understand relationship patterns, communication challenges, intimacy concerns and attachment dynamics. This includes inclusive support for diverse relationship structures. Together we explore how relational experiences shape your emotional world and sense of self.

​

ADHD SUPPORT

Many adults, especially women, identify ADHD later in life and seek support in understanding emotional regulation, executive functioning, identity and self-concept. Therapy provides space to explore patterns, develop strategies and recognise strengths with compassionate awareness.

​

WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH & PERIMENOPAUSE

Hormonal transitions can influence mood, energy, identity, relationships and stress tolerance. Therapy offers a reflective, supportive space to navigate these changes, explore mind–body strategies, and understand your needs during this significant life stage.

​

BURNOUT, BOUNDARIES & WORK STRESS

Burnout often emerges from chronic responsibility, caregiving roles, people-pleasing, perfectionism or unsustainable demands. Together we explore boundaries, values and patterns that influence your wellbeing, supporting more sustainable ways of engaging with work and life.

​

LIFE TRANSITIONS

Changes in identity, roles, relationships or circumstances including separation, parenting, career change or retirement, can bring uncertainty and emotional complexity. Therapy supports reflection, meaning-making and grounded decision-making during these times.

​

COPING PATTERNS (ALCOHOL, FOOD, TECHNOLOGY)

Coping behaviours often emerge from stress, overwhelm or unmet emotional needs. Therapy offers a compassionate space to understand these patterns and explore more supportive ways of responding to emotional challenges.

​

SLEEP & REGULATION

Sleep concerns are often intertwined with stress, emotional intensity, trauma or hormonal changes. Therapy supports exploring the emotional, cognitive and behavioural factors that impact rest, alongside mind–body approaches for regulation.

​

PURPOSE, IDENTITY & MEANING

You may be exploring values, creativity, purpose or direction. Therapy can support this process by creating space for reflection, curiosity and deeper understanding of what matters most to you.

​

BUSINESS COACHING & ENTREPRENEUR SUPPORT

Running a small business or working in a leadership role can bring unique pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands. Therapy offers space to explore decision-making, boundaries, identity, creativity and the personal patterns that influence how you show up in your work. Drawing on over 20 years of experience as a small business owner and former founding Director of the Coastal Towns Business Chamber, I integrate psychological insight with an understanding of real-world business challenges to support sustainable, values-aligned professional growth.​​​​​​
