I have availability for new clients, so do get in touch if you'd like to work with me.

Your 20s and 30s are often framed as “the best years of your life”. It’s a time of lots of change, self-discovery and forging your own path, but it comes with so many pressures and expectations. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck or lost, and lacking purpose and direction because you don’t know who you really are or what you want out of life. Maybe you’re struggling with difficult feelings, or have noticed there are unhealthy patterns playing out in your relationships. You might want to learn how to set and maintain new boundaries, communicate more effectively, and build your self-esteem. If any of this resonates for you, I can help.

There's a myth that you need to be in crisis or at breaking point to have therapy, but this absolutely isn't the case. Therapy isn't about “fixing” you because you aren't broken; instead, it's about empowering you to make positive changes. You don’t have to figure things out alone, and you don’t need to have all the answers; we can work it out together.

I have therapy myself and remember how scary it was to make an initial enquiry. Although it felt like an impossible step at first, starting the process proved to be life-changing. If you think I might be the therapist for you, feel free to contact me as and when you're ready and let's see if we can work together - please check your spam folder for my reply!
