Welcome
"You’re not broken for feeling anxious around people. You’re human—and with the right support, connection can feel safe again."
Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Whatever challenges or difficulties you face, therapy can help you move forward to a place of increased happiness, well-being and contentment.
As a qualified psychotherapist, I nurture a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients when working with anxiety, people pleasing, anxiety in relationships and teen anxiety. Here I can that fosters connect, which will pave the way to change within yourself.
I work across the U.K. and globally, with online therapy sessions for individuals and couples, those in non-traditional relationships, LGBTQ communities, expats in the U.K., and Employee Assistance Programmes.

What to expect
I create a non-judgmental space for you centred around empathy, so that you feel comfortable to be open. This is in order to help you reach your goals in a supportive and compassionate way. I help you identify what is holding you back, and we clarify your goals and visions so you gain a fresh perspective with the skills and self-confidence to move forward and take your next steps.
Who I work with:
Individuals: I offer a safe, transformative space for you to explore what is keeping you stuck. I will help you move past blocks and traumas in your life to a happy and healthier place and support you through the process of creating change within yourself. I will help you develop a strong and resilient mindset where you can push through your fears and overcome your challenges and difficulties.
Couples: When working with couples, I offer an impartial, non-judgmental perspective, allowing each client to feel seen and heard. I implement communication skills and empathy and develop an understanding of how each individual contributes to and experiences the relationship differently to build stronger connections and intimacy between partners.
Relationship Breakups: Breakups are one of the understated losses and events that happen in our lives. I specialise in helping you navigate and process complicated feelings and I provide the tools to move forward.
LGBTQ: As an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I provide a caring, non-judgmental therapy presence. I support clients through all stages of gender and sexuality exploration, whether it is seeking support in coming out or exploring a relationship with your gender and sexuality.
Non-Traditional Relationships: Non-traditional relationships can be non-sexual, couples who have love but do not have sex with each other or anyone else; relationships where there is a significant disparity in age or finances; grandparents raising grandchildren, being friends with an ex, relationships involving three or more people, can be two gay men and a woman who cohabit and raise their children together. They can also be sex workers who are in stable relationships with their partners.
Expats: My training and experience working with clients from around the world and my own experience of living abroad give me a unique opportunity to work with expats from various backgrounds. I currently work with those living outside their home country, such as expats, digital nomads, frequent travellers, and third-culture kids. I work on issues specific to expats, such as cultural adjustment, homesickness, re-entry, repatriation, reverse culture shock, and navigating intercultural relationships; many of the topics I address in therapy are more general mental health issues.

I email you a link to our session, which is usually via Zoom, TEAMS or GOOGLE MEET. Each session is 55 minutes long. I am based in Birmingham, but working online allows me to help people in areas such as Willesden, Wandsworth, Southwark in London and further afield, including globally.

Everything you discuss during our sessions is confidential. There are only two exceptions to this where I am obliged to break confidentiality: if you disclose involvement in or knowledge of any criminal activities or if there is a safeguarding issue if you or any adult related to you or your child could potentially be under threat of harm or abuse.
When you feel stuck and are struggling to cope or move forward, you need to ask for help. Therapy is a gentle and effective process in which we work collaboratively, at your own pace, and I support you in navigating and overcoming your challenges and difficulties to live a happier, more fulfilled life.
I offer both short and long-term therapy and also open-ended therapy. We normally book sessions weekly, and it is standard to block-book six sessions initially. Each session builds on the last, so you can build momentum, enabling you to make gradual and steady progress towards your goals. Undergoing regular weekly sessions allows you to progress more quickly.
