Life throws us challenges all the time: from daily situations to life-changing events. These experiences make up who we are but sometimes they can be difficult to deal with and can leave us feeling ‘out of sorts’ or perhaps in conflict with who we feel we are. It is in these moments that we might reach out for some extra support.

I support a wide-range of people helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, PTSD, trauma, long term illness and pain, as well as dealing with relationships with ourselves, others and the wider society.

Supporting Parents of Anxious Children

I also help parents who feel overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted whilst supporting a child who struggles with anxiety. This could take the form of school-based anxiety with children who who might fall under the term Emotionally Based School Avoidant (EBSA). Or your child might be overtaken with constant worries. When your child is struggling it is natural to bring up feelings of anxiety, guilt, loneliness, shame for yourself or the sense of feeling trapped in constant emotional firefighting. Together we can explore your experience, understand your feelings and support you to reconnect with yourself again.

Whatever your situation might be, I offer a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions and experience. My approach is rooted in empathy, non-judgement and compassion, ensuring that you feel heard, understood and supported throughout. I draw from person-centred and psychodynamic approaches and have a keen interest in how the body and mind interact in our experiences and emotions. I believe it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship that can support and provide you with the awareness to enable change and growth.
