Anxiety and worry
Persistent worry, anxiety, panic or feeling overwhelmed.
Clinical Psychologist
Understanding yourself. Finding a way forward.
When things feel difficult to understand, having someone really listen can be the first step.
You don’t have to understand what’s wrong before you ask for help.
A space to talk. A way to understand.
Therapy begins with having the opportunity to talk openly and be properly heard. From there, we can begin to understand what is happening, why it may have developed, and what might help.
My approach is gentle, collaborative and individual. We work together to develop a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and make changes that feel meaningful.
“Sometimes the first step is simply having somewhere to talk.”
How I can help
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing:
Low mood
Feeling low, exhausted, hopeless or losing interest in things that once mattered.
Trauma and difficult experiences
The effects of traumatic or distressing experiences, whether recent or from further back in life.
Feeling stuck
Struggling to understand yourself or repeating patterns you don’t understand.
Life changes
Transitions, loss, stress or circumstances that have left you finding it hard to cope.
Psychological assessment
Professional assessment when a clearer understanding would be helpful.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before seeking help.
My approach
There is no single approach that is right for everyone. My starting point is to understand you — your experiences, your circumstances and the things that matter to you.
We will work together to make sense of your difficulties and consider what may be contributing to them. As that understanding develops, we can identify approaches that may help you differently and move forward.
Therapy should not be about telling you what to do. It is about helping you understand yourself well enough to make choices and changes that are right for you.
