Some of what people bring to therapy

You don’t have to reach a breaking point to seek support. If something is affecting the way you feel, think, or live your life, it deserves space to be explored.

Mood and emotions

  • Anxiety and panic
  • Depression and low mood
  • Loss and grief
  • Stress and burnout
  • Trauma
  • Questions of identity
  • Adjusting to life in a new country or culture

Energy

  • Running on empty
  • Feeling unsettled or unstable
  • A sense of inner emptiness
  • Not being able to recover

Body

  • Fatigue
  • Changes in how your body is functioning
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself

Relationships

  • Difficulty with closeness
  • Patterns that keep repeating
  • Losing yourself around other people

Not on the list? That is fine. Most people do not arrive with a neat label.

Philosophy

The mind-body connection really matters. It’s the foundation of how I understand human functioning.

My training began in medicine before I turned to psychology, and my practice still carries that dual grounding. I’m a BPS Chartered Counselling Psychologist and have worked across all levels of mental health, from primary care through to specialist work in psychosis, HIV psychology and forensic mental health services. Whether what you’re facing is everyday or complex, my starting point is the same: understanding you.

Alongside my clinical training, I’ve studied craniosacral therapy, Reiki and meditation across the UK, Russia and India. That background shapes how I work with the whole person, mind and body, always within an evidence-based clinical framework.

In their words

What clients say

“I’m still practising everything you taught me, and I’m really happy with where I am in life thanks to your guidance. Life is more complicated than I could have imagined, but so much more profound than I could have hoped.”
Former client
“Thank you for helping my son so much this year. His improvement is nothing short of amazing. He still has his ups and downs, but they’re far fewer and less intense thanks to his ongoing therapy. He’s much more able now to cope with life’s setbacks.”
Parent of a client
“Thank you for all you are doing to help our daughter — we love her so much, and your support is really invaluable.”

Start with a conversation

You don’t need to have it all figured out or know exactly what to call it. We can have a short conversation to talk through what’s bringing you to therapy and whether working together feels right.
