Are you feeling anxious, unfulfilled, or caught in a cycle that leaves you unsure where to begin? Do you find yourself struggling with relationships, self-worth, or patterns that seem rooted in something deeper? Together, we can explore these challenges, working to uncover the underlying emotional wounds from your past—often tied to early attachment experiences and unmet childhood needs. By reconnecting with your inner child and addressing relational patterns, I can support you in breaking free from the cycle and building the life you want.
As a specialist in Attachment and Relational Psychotherapy, I help adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or struggles in relationships. Many of my clients grew up with emotionally unavailable parents, which has impacted their ability to form healthy connections with themselves and others. These past wounds can leave you feeling alone, stuck, and unable to move forward in life. Through our work together, we will focus on healing the root causes of your challenges, helping you understand how early experiences influence your present, and guiding you toward lasting change.
In our sessions, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on in your life. We will use techniques rooted in mindfulness and relational psychotherapy to explore your emotions and beliefs. I’ll help you build self-awareness, learn how to regulate your emotions, and start changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Between sessions, I may offer activities such as tracking your thoughts and feelings or practicing mindfulness, to help you integrate insights and deepen your healing.
If you’re ready to explore the emotional roots of your current struggles and begin the journey toward more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self, I’d be honored to support you.
I am a registered member of the BACP, with over 12 years of experience working across GP surgeries, community services, and private practice. My passion lies in helping clients heal and transform through a deep understanding of their past, present, and future selves.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
