Finding sustainable ways forward that make sense to you
At different times in our lives, we can find ourselves stuck — struggling to navigate certain experiences or dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings. On the outside, things might look fine to others, But inside, it feels very different.
You might find yourself going round in circles, trying hard to find ways to feel better. You might know what you ‘should’ do, but it doesn’t seem to help no matter how hard you try.
Maybe your relationship with food, your body, or exercise has become tangled — hard to explain, sometimes even to yourself. You don’t know how to describe it but it’s taking up so much mental space, it’s exhausting. It has to change but you have no idea where to start.
Or perhaps you’re navigating a transition of some kind and feeling a bit lost - discovering you’re neurodivergent, a changing relationship, entering a new phase of life or discovering you’re neurodivergent.
Therapy offers a steadying space to explore what’s going on for you without judgement or pressure. You don't need to have it all figured out or know where to begin. You might not even be sure if you ‘need’ therapy. Honestly, that’s all ok.
We find a starting point together and work out a way forward from there.
I work with people navigating all kinds of life experiences — not just one specific issue. Sometimes it's a clear difficulty; sometimes it's more a sense of feeling stuck, without quite knowing why. And that’s ok.
Sessions are a place where you don't have to put a face on it all, or work out how to explain it. And people tell me there is a relief in that. I will meet you as you are and where you are at, providing a guiding hand as we untangle things together.
I have a tool kit of many different approaches gained over 25 years of working with individuals: behavioural, humanistic, creative, cognitive and somatic. I draw on what best suits your way of communicating, processing and needs at the time. It’s not your job to fit my tools, it’s for me to adapt my experience and skills to who you are and what you bring to the space. .
We are all different, and part of my role is to support you in becoming fully and confidently yourself.

Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders
I have particular expertise in supporting people with a difficult or disordered relationship with food or their body. I support you to untangle patterns around food, body, and exercise, and to find ways to live more freely.
A disordered relationship with food can come in many forms and I work across a whole spectrum that includes food noise, body image concerns, exercise dependency and diagnosed eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.
It doesn't matter what you'd call it, or whether you'd call it anything at all. If your relationship with food or your body feels hard, that's what matters. If you’re fed up with how you feel about or behaved around food and want it to change, it is very possible for that to happen. And that’s what I’m here for.
