I work with highly sensitive adults who want to make sense of their emotions, rebuild self-trust, and regain the confidence to show up in their lives authentically.
If you often feel like your emotions are overwhelming, like the anxiety is always just below the surface, or low mood makes it hard to get through the day I see you.
Maybe you find yourself overthinking every decision or doubting your worth, unsure if you can trust your own instincts because you've learned to silence how you're feeling and get on with it. You might feel disconnected from yourself, as though the world is moving too fast and you're struggling to keep up.
As a therapist, in the UK trained in Person-Centred Therapy, I take an integrative approach, incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where helpful. My style is interactive, collaborative and accepting, as I believe therapy should be a space where you feel truly heard and supported.
Together, we will make room for the unsafe feelings and explore your thoughts, and behavioural patterns, fostering self-awareness and the possibility of change.
I offer both short- and long-term therapy, working at a pace that feels right for you. If you’re ready to take that first step toward self-understanding and healing, I’m here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
