Therapy for relational anxiety
My approach
​
I’m a warm, honest, trauma-informed therapist, and I aim to offer a space where you can feel understood, supported, and able to be yourself. Alongside empathy and care, I’ll gently share ideas and practical tools that you can take into your everyday life, always at a pace that feels right for you.
In my experience, meaningful change tends to happen through small, steady shifts over time, especially in how we see ourselves and relate to others. Because of this, I often work with people over a longer period, offering a consistent space where you can feel supported as things unfold. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on what suits you.
​
I also recognise that we're all individuals, so we’ll shape our work together around what feels most helpful for you. That includes regularly checking in about how therapy feels, what’s working, and anything that might need to change, so the space continues to feel safe and supportive.
Above all, I see therapy as a human relationship. We’re both people, doing our best to navigate life in our own ways. You don’t have to have everything figured out to come to therapy with me, I'll meet you where you are and we'll take it one step at a time from there.
My story
My Story I turned to counselling in my early 20s to get support for what I thought was anxiety. I had read a lot of self-help books and felt fairly self-aware, but I couldn't seem to break the patterns. I knew that I was operating from an anxious attachment style. I'd learnt to put other's first, and I was disconnected from my own wants and needs. Through my counselling sessions and then my own training, I learnt to feel less anxious about how I related to other people. I started to feel secure more often, a feeling where I could start to rely more on my own thoughts, wants and needs. What really helped me with this was learning all about my nervous system and how to tune into it, read it and soothe it. That's what I want for you, too. I aim for our counselling sessions to feel like the safe space you might need to begin to build your own secure foundation.

My Story
The first thing you might want to know about me is that I genuinely love what I do. Therapy helped me understand myself in a way I hadn't before, and the impact it had on my life stayed with me. Over time, that led me to train as a therapist myself.
​
I first came to therapy in my early 20s, looking for support with anxiety. Looking back, I can see how much I’d learned to put others first, often losing touch with my own needs along the way. That’s something many of us experience, especially in relationships, and it can take time and support to gently reconnect with ourselves.
​
Through my own therapy —and later through my training—I began to feel more at ease in myself and in my relationships. I started to experience a greater sense of security, where I could trust my own thoughts, feelings, and needs a little more. A big part of this for me was learning about my nervous system, including how to notice what was happening in my body, understand it, and respond to it with soothing care rather than frustration or criticism. That shift made a real difference.
​
This is something I hope to offer you, too. A space that feels safe enough to explore what’s going on for you, and to begin building a steadier, more secure foundation, at your own pace, in your own way.

Outside of being a therapist, I live in Kent with my fiance and our cocker spaniel. I love being outdoors, going on long walks and spending time in the countryside. When I'm not outdoors you'll either find me in a coffee shop or curled up under a blanket, watching my favourite TV shows, most likely with a cup of tea in hand.
