Most people I work with are used to holding it together. On the surface, you may look capable and functional, but underneath there can be anxiety, exhaustion, self doubt, or a persistent sense that something is not right. You might question whether what you are experiencing is serious enough for therapy, or assume it is just part of your personality. I do not take that at face value. I look at what has shaped your experience, including trauma, relationships, and the conditions you have had to live in.

My approach is trauma informed, power aware, and explicitly feminist. That means we do not only focus on your thoughts and feelings in isolation. We also look at how your experiences have been shaped by relationships, expectations, and wider systems of power. This work can be challenging, but it is grounded in safety, clarity, and helping you build a stronger, more stable sense of yourself. You remain in control of the process throughout.

Specialisms

Trauma, anxiety, and overwhelm

I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, loss, and low self worth. These experiences are often treated as separate problems, but they are frequently connected. Together we look at the patterns underneath them and how they have developed, so that change is not just about coping, but about understanding and shifting what is driving them.

Neurodivergence

I work with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent differences. This can include masking, sensory overwhelm, and rejection sensitivity. Many people I see have spent years trying to fit expectations that do not suit them, often leading to shame, self criticism, and exhaustion. Therapy here is not about fixing you. It is about understanding how you work and building a way of living that actually fits.

Women, power, and identity

Much of my work is with women navigating confidence, boundaries, people pleasing, burnout, perimenopause and menopause, motherhood, and work pressures. These are often framed as individual struggles, but they are shaped by expectations, roles, and power. We look at both your internal experience and the external context that has influenced it, so that change is grounded in reality rather than self blame.

Domestic and sexual abuse

I specialise in domestic abuse, coercive control, sexual violence, grooming, childhood trauma, ritual abuse, and exploitation, including sex trafficking. Many people who come to me are not sure whether what they have experienced is abuse. You may feel confused, constantly second guessing yourself, or as though you are overreacting. You might feel anxious in a relationship without fully understanding why, or find yourself walking on eggshells and losing confidence in your own judgement. Abuse is not always obvious. It can be subtle, normalised, and difficult to name, especially when it involves control, manipulation, or psychological pressure rather than physical violence. It can also be organised and hidden, particularly in cases of ritual or extreme abuse. Part of the work is making sense of what has happened and naming it accurately, without forcing labels onto you. You do not need to be sure it counts as abuse to bring it here.

Therapy with me offers a space to breathe, be believed, and begin to feel clearer and stronger again.

If this feels like the right fit, I would be glad to hear from you.
