About me

Sometimes, you can understand exactly why you feel the way you do—and still feel unable to change it.

You may find yourself caught in the same patterns, carrying the same worries, or responding in ways you wish you could change. You know something needs to shift, but no matter how hard you try, you somehow find yourself back in the same place.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

My approach is compassionate, client-led, and shaped around you—your experiences, your needs, and what you hope to change. Together, we create a calm and supportive space where you can gently explore what may be happening beneath the surface and begin working with the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Therapy isn't about becoming someone else. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, reconnecting with your own strengths, and creating space for something different.

Sometimes, change begins simply by feeling safe enough to look within.

You don't have to know exactly how to move forward. We can begin from where you are.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified hypnotherapist and counsellor in training, offering a compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

Through my therapeutic work and wider professional experience, I have supported people facing a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and bereavement, shame, addiction, OCD, and persistent or chronic pain. I also have experience supporting people living with dementia and those around them, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, dignity, compassion, and meeting each person in their own unique experience.

I understand that behind every struggle is an individual story. My approach is therefore shaped around you—not simply a diagnosis, symptom, or label. I believe that whatever someone may be experiencing, there is always a person behind it who deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with humanity.

Drawing on hypnotherapy alongside counselling-based approaches, I work collaboratively with you to explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be affecting your life. Whether you are carrying something from the past, struggling with how you feel in the present, or simply have a sense that something needs to change, I aim to provide a calm and supportive space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and find your own way forward.

You are more than what you have been through, and you don't have to navigate it alone.
