Individual and Couples Therapy offered
What I specialise in for Individuals
I work with
Anxiety: My clients often have anxiety as the core issue and are struggling to manage or cope with this on their own. This includes social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. Some clients have anxiety from using dating apps, starting fresh with someone new or ending something (e.g. relationship, job, moving etc..) and the anxiety that comes with it.
Depression: We all have times when our mood is low, and we're feeling sad or miserable about life. Usually these feelings pass in due course.But if the feelings are interfering with your life and don't go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back over and over again for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that you're experiencing depression.
Work related stress: My clients are going through a career change, do not like their jobs anymore or have started in a new job role and find it overwhelming or stressful. It's helpful to learn how to manage stress caused by work. If you often experience feelings of stress, you might be at risk of developing a mental health problem like depression or anxiety.
Relationship issues for individuals:Do you struggle to form or maintain relationships with others? Maybe you're afraid to try again as you do not want to get hurt? My clients have said it feel's like when a relationship ended for them it was ‘their fault ‘or ‘they were too much.’

Feeling lost/ loss of identity:
Feeling lost can be caused by several factors, such as a lack of purpose, fulfilment, or direction. Right now, it may seem like life has no meaning.
You might feel helpless, emotionally numb, or like you've lost your spark. Many things can make you feel lost, like the end of a relationship, missed opportunities, or an awareness of your life not moving in the direction you imagined
Feeling lost - like life has no purpose or meaning
This could be due to:
- Illness or the menopause
- handling difficult situations such as a job or relationship loss
- parenting a special needs child or a child with complex mental health needs
- emotional factors like anxiety, depression
- death of a loved one or friend
One of the most dangerous aspects of feeling lost is when you no longer recognise who you are. It can make you question everything such as your relationships, job, friendships, everything around you. You may feel like you no longer know who you are and this affects your confidence, self-esteem and self-image.
When this happens, though, remember that you need to go easy on yourself instead of blaming yourself for feeling this way, it is not your fault, you can get through this by talking about it and getting back some control.
