Who I help

 

I work with adults (18+) who want a calmer, more honest way of living. Most people I see are coping on the surface but feel stuck underneath - tired of the same loops in mood, habits or relationships. You don’t need a diagnosis to come; we start from what life is like day to day and what you want to be different.

 

Common reasons people get in touch

  • Anxiety, overthinking, health worries or a sense of constant threat.

  • Low mood, loss of motivation, self-criticism and shame.

  • Stress, burnout or work/parenting pressure that’s hard to switch off from.

  • Grief and loss - recent or long-standing.

  • Relationship patterns that repeat - people-pleasing, conflict, distance, fear of closeness.

  • Life changes: separation, new baby, menopause, caring, retirement, moving home or country.

  • Trauma echoes - feeling on edge, numb, or easily triggered.

  • Confidence and boundaries - saying no, taking up space, speaking plainly.

  • Meaning and values - “Is this it?” questions, stuck choices, wanting a life that fits.

 

How I work

  • Warm, practical and collaborative. We agree aims and simple next steps.

  • Here-and-now focus with room for the past. We look back when it helps make sense of what’s happening now.

  • Small changes between sessions. Clear, manageable tasks that fit real life.

  • Flexible pace. We slow down for tricky moments and keep an eye on what helps.

 

I offer online and phone sessions. If you need adjustments - closed captions, breaks, no video, a different time of day - say so and we’ll plan for it.

 

Who I’m not the best fit for

 

I’m not able to provide crisis or emergency care, medical advice, or specialist treatment for severe eating disorders, active addiction without support, or high risk of harm. If you’re in immediate danger, please use the “Urgent support and Helplines” page for urgent options.

 

What to expect in the first sessions

 

We map what matters: the problem as you see it, what better would look like in everyday life, and what might get in the way. We set goals in pencil and review them regularly. You stay in charge; we keep what helps and change what doesn’t.

 

Is this for me?

 

If you’re ready to talk openly, try small steps in between sessions, and check in on progress together, this approach can help. If you’re unsure, that’s normal - send a short message and we’ll decide together whether to book a first session.
