The therapy I offer is tailored to the unique needs of each person I meet, and always grounded in ethical practice, compassionate connection, and respect for the courage it takes to seek help. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, or other areas of emotional discomfort, I bring both extensive professional training and real-world insight to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Clients often describe my approach as calm, authentic, and compassionate. Sessions are relational, meaning that the therapeutic relationship itself becomes the safe foundation for growth. The trust, empathy, and collaboration we build together are central to the work, helping you feel seen, understood, and validated as you explore both the difficulties and your strengths. Therapy with me is not something “done to you,” but a shared process where your voice, needs, and hopes guide the way.

With over 20 years’ experience in care and therapeutic settings, I understand the importance of feeling safe, respected, and heard. I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy to adults, young people, and teenagers. We may also incorporate Mindset Coaching techniques where helpful. These methods allow us to explore your past, present, and future, helping you understand how your experiences have shaped you, impact current challenges, and help facilitate a healing resolution. I work integratively, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities including Transactional Analysis (TA), humanistic, CBT, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy to support your unique needs. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and grow in self-awareness, self-compassion and confidence.

Henry Ford
“Whether you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right”
My own journey has significantly shaped the way I work. Having lived through complex trauma, addiction, and a sense of not belonging, I understand how isolating and overwhelming life can sometimes feel. What helped me most was the acceptance I found in therapy, and the healing this brought through being truly seen and heard. That experience instilled in me a profound belief in therapy, and its ability to bring awareness, ease internal conflict, and support meaningful change. This has led me to a deep immersion in therapeutic approaches that I offer to others in my private therapeutic practice. My lived experience has equipped me with an understanding and genuine empathy for the challenges my clients may face, allowing me to authentically and compassionately connect with their experiences.

Getting started
Counselling and Psychotherapy
I know taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. It is important to me that you find the right therapist for you. I therefore offer a free, informal consultation so you can ask any questions, and see if you feel we might be a good fit for one another. Sometimes the first step is simply starting the conversation. We can meet in-person at my studio in Carlisle and international online appointments available via ZOOM.

Frequently asked questions
your questions answered
Counselling often focuses on specific issues or life challenges, while psychotherapy explores deeper emotional patterns and long term mental health needs. Both offer safety, support and healing potential.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply need someone to talk to, therapy can help. You don’t need a diagnosis, just a openess and curiosity to explore your experiences.
Sessions are confidential and tailored to you. You’ll talk about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a completely safe and non-judgmental space.
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of safe and ethical Counselling and Psychotherapy. What you share in sessions stays completely confidential and is treated with the utmost respect. However, there are rare exceptions where confidentiality may be legally broken: if there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, disclosure of harm involving a vulnerable person, or if required by a court order. These situations are handled with care and in accordance with professional and legal guidelines.
This varies form person to person. Some people benefit from a few sessions, while others prefer longer term support. We’ll work together to find what suits your unique needs best in a way that works for you.
