When life feels heavy, you don’t have to hold it all alone.

Life has a way of piling up on us; responsibilities, grief, stress, old wounds, unspoken things, the weight of staying “strong” for everyone else.

Sometimes it shows up as anxiety or overwhelm.

Sometimes it’s numbness, burnout, or a sense of not recognising yourself.

Sometimes it’s feeling stuck in the same patterns with your partner, no matter how much you try.

You don’t need to come with a perfect explanation.
You just need somewhere safe to start.

This is a space where you can talk about what’s really going on; without pressure to perform, minimise, or pretend you’re fine. We take things gently, at your pace.

  • My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in emotional and relational understanding.
    In real terms, that means:

    • we slow down and make sense of things together

    • I’m warm, present, and engaged; not silent or distant

    • I’ll reflect things back so you can see yourself more clearly

    • we explore what’s happening underneath patterns, reactions, or conflict

    • we look at both the roots and what’s happening day-to-day

    • we move towards something that feels lighter, steadier, and more honest

    Some sessions are about deep, long-held pain.
    Others are about surviving a difficult week.
    There’s space for both.

    If you’re ever curious about the therapy process or the approach behind what we’re doing, I’m always happy to talk it through. Therapy should feel collaborative, not mysterious.

  • People often come to me when something feels heavy, overwhelming, or stuck in a loop. That might look like:

    • anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, or trauma

    • feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood in relationships

    • repeating patterns you can’t quite shift

    • navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, chronic stress or illness

    • shame, food or control patterns, or struggles with self-worth

    • processing betrayal, rupture, or the aftermath of abuse

    • exploring identity, roots, culture, belonging, or change

    • emotional overwhelm: anger, intensity, impulsivity

    • or a quieter, persistent feeling of “I don’t feel okay, and I don’t know why.”

    You don’t need to package it neatly.
    We start wherever you are.

    I also work with couples who feel disconnected or stuck in patterns, you can read more about this on my Couples Therapy page.

FAQs

  • That’s completely normal. Most people feel unsure before their first session. There’s no expectation to dive into anything before you’re ready. We’ll go gently, at your pace, and take the time to build safety and trust.

  • The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. You can share as much or as little as you like. We’ll explore what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and how we might work together. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out.

  • You don’t need to arrive with a plan. Many people simply say, “I don’t know where to begin,” and we take it from there. It’s completely okay. We’ll find the starting point together.

  • It’s okay to feel whatever you feel here. Therapy is a place where emotions are welcome, not judged or rushed. We’ll move through things gently and with care.

  • Absolutely. You don’t need to hit a breaking point before reaching out. Many people come to therapy simply because they want to understand themselves better, break patterns, or feel more grounded in their lives.

  • That’s really common. You’re welcome to reach out even if one of you feels unsure. We can explore what feels difficult about starting, and what each of you might need to feel safe enough to take the next step.

  • Not unless it feels helpful for you. Some people like practices or reflections between sessions, others prefer to keep the work inside the room. We’ll decide together what supports you best.

  • If you’re unsure whether I work with something specific, feel free to book an intro call or send me a message.

    You don’t need to explain it perfectly, we’ll figure it out together.

  • It varies widely. Some come for short-term support around a specific issue.

    Others stay longer as deeper patterns and themes unfold.

    There’s no right or wrong timeline.

  • Yes. I work with clients online across the UK, as well as in-person in Manchester.

  • I currently offer daytime sessions; feel free to reach out if you have specific scheduling needs.

  • I ask for 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.

    Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are chargeable.
