Healing starts with feeling safe to be you
Sometimes it’s a single moment that turns your world upside down—a loss, a diagnosis, or a betrayal, other times, it’s the quiet build-up of pain over the years: relationships that left you questioning your worth, moments of hurt no one saw, emotions you were taught to hide.
Whatever the shape or story, emotional pain leaves an imprint. It can show up in your body, your thoughts, your relationships, or simply in the way you move through life—tired, restless, on edge, feeling lost or disconnected from who you used to be. We can unconsciously suppress so much.
Maybe you don’t have the words for it. Maybe you’re not sure what you’re feeling—only that something doesn’t feel right. You don’t quite feel like you, and that’s reason enough to reach out.
You don’t have to carry this alone. You deserve to be seen and heard.
Together, we’ll create space for relief, for lightness, and for the possibility of moving forward in a way that feels true to who you are now—and who you’re becoming.
You’re not broken—you’re at a turning point.
People seek therapy at different times for different reasons. For many, emotional overwhelm or burnout is the breaking point, not just burnout from work, but from years of holding everything together. Unresolved stress, unspoken trauma, and a lifetime of pushing past limits catches up.
Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out can feel like a personal failure, but it’s not. It’s a signal of misalignment and an invitation for care, attention and for a return to what's true.
It's the beginning of healing, of reconnection, of coming home to yourself.
When our experiences have hit hard, we often need a little bit more than just traditional talk therapy. My body-mind sessions incorporate the focused mindfulness of Brainspotting, an intuitive therapeutic approach that evolved from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) helping you to deepen and accelerate your healing after experiencing trauma or overwhelming experiences.
These intuitive, experiential sessions are designed to help you release emotional weight and calm your nervous system. We’ll focus on what’s stuck, not to relive it, but to help it shift—so you can begin to feel more present, more grounded, and more you.

If something in you is saying it’s time to feel lighter, calmer, create space for more joy, or to feel more like yourself again—I’m here to support you. You don’t have to have the right words or a clear plan. Just a willingness to take the first step.
You’re welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation to see if this feels like the right fit. We’ll talk, no pressure—just a quiet space to ask questions and get a feel for how we might work together.
You deserve support that feels safe, kind, and truly healing.

Coming home to myself
I know how hard some life experiences can hit, the conflicting thoughts and painful, tangled feelings that can arise, the physical impact and the deep level of loneliness that can be felt.
Like so many others, I have experienced painful experiences and trauma in my life, including the trauma of narcissistic abuse. I also live with a chronic health condition and I deeply appreciate the contentious relationship that we can have with diagnosis, our bodies and our healing process. I know the desire to do it all ourselves, to figure it out quietly, to not need anyone, but no matter how hard any of us try, we cannot do it alone.
This is why I’m so passionate about the work I do. Healing asks for honesty, tenderness, and the kind of permission we rarely get—full permission to feel what we actually feel, even when it's messy or doesn't make sense.
As a trauma-focused therapist with over 19 years experience with working with a diverse range of clients, including 10 years in the NHS specialising in Counselling for Depression, I've trained extensively to bring you the some of the most effective therapies for healing our inner wounds. I love to offer Brainspotting to my clients because I've seen how powerful it can be in helping us to find our way out of cycles we've become stuck in and release what feels so heavy; what's often been too overwhelming to name.
When we are seeking healing from deeply impacting life experiences, an experiential, holistic approach can be transformational.
If now feels like the right time for you to make changes in your life, just fill in the contact form and we can schedule a relaxed chat to help you take the next steps.
I work well with individuals who...
- Are heart-led, and often the ones others turn to—but inside, they carry a lot that hasn’t been seen or heard.
- Are caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism or procrastination.
- Feel stuck, anxious and on edge or numb, fatigued and disconnected.
- Might be walking on eggshells around someone in their life, or feeling lost, like a shadow of their former self.
- May feel unseen, unheard, and that they are not enough.
- May have a tendency to just carry on pushing through, quietly, on their own.
- May have experienced painful, confusing relationships, and struggle to make sense of them.
- Feel that their past experiences could still be negatively impacting their lives.
- Might be quiet, high achievers— outwardly successful, showing up for everyone else, while quietly wondering when it will feel safe to show up for themselves.
- Are creative, curious, and want to understand themselves on a deeper level.
- Have a sense that painful experiences don't just stay in our thoughts—they are something we also feel in our body, our emotions, our spirit.
- Want more than just “getting by”—they long to feel more joy, meaning, and authentic, aligned connection in their lives.
- Are open to exploring their body-mind connection so they can feel more whole, more like themselves again.
Healing isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. It’s about meeting the parts of you that haven't been given the space to be heard, felt, or witnessed, so that can release what they are holding.
