🧩 What kind of support I offer

Support isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is the work we do together.

I offer:
✨ Therapy — a supportive space to explore what’s coming up for you, at your pace
✨ EMDR — to gently process past experiences that still feel stuck or overwhelming
✨ Supervision — reflective, thoughtful support for practitioners
✨ Workshops — practical, accessible spaces to learn, reflect, and connect

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out.
We can take things step by step.

📩 If you’re wondering whether this might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch.

🛋️ What therapy actually looks like

Not lying on a couch.
Not being analysed.
Definitely not being judged.

Most of the time, therapy looks like…

✨ Sitting in whatever way feels most comfortable
✨ Talking… or not talking much at all
✨ Going at your pace (no pressure to “get it right”)
✨ Being met with curiosity, not criticism
✨ Figuring things out together, gently

You don’t need the right words.
You don’t need a clear goal.
You don’t need to be in crisis.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about understanding you — and supporting what you’re already carrying.

💛 If this eases even a tiny bit of worry, that matters.
📩 You’re welcome to reach out when (and if) it feels right.

You might be using all the “right” coping strategies —
and still finding things hard.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It often means your nervous system needs something different right now.

🧘 Breathing exercises
Helpful for mild stress — but when you’re overwhelmed or triggered, they can sometimes feel impossible.

📝 Journalling
Great for processing — but if you’re already exhausted, it can add pressure rather than relief.

🚶 Going for a walk
Movement can regulate — unless your body is in freeze or shutdown mode.

💬 Talking it through
Support helps — but not if you’re still feeling unsafe or unheard.

Coping strategies aren’t one-size-fits-all.
What works at one time may not work at another — and that’s okay.

In therapy, we explore why something isn’t helping and what your body and mind actually need instead.
No judgement. No forcing. Just curiosity and compassion.

✨ You’re not broken — your system is responding to what it’s been through.

📩 If this resonates, therapy can help you find strategies that work for you.

✨ Wisdom Wednesday | New Year Edition

As we move into a new year, here’s an important reminder:

Change doesn’t happen because the calendar flipped.
It happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to try something different.

If January brings pressure to reset, improve, or transform, pause here instead.

New Year wisdom from a therapeutic lens:
🧠 Sustainable change is slow and relational
🧠 Rest and regulation come before motivation
🧠 Goals work best when they’re compassionate, not punishing
🧠 Reflection is more powerful than resolution
🧠 You’re allowed to move into the year gently

There is no rush to become a “better” version of yourself.
Safety, steadiness, and support create change — not urgency.

Merry Christmas 🎄

At this time of year, it’s important to remember that Christmas can bring up many different emotions — and all of them are valid.
Whether today feels joyful, heavy, quiet, or mixed, you’re allowed to meet yourself with compassion.

Wishing you a gentle, restful Christmas.

Reflective practice isn’t optional — it’s protective.

Therapists often absorb emotional material without realising it, and that residue can show up as:
🔸 Fatigue
🔸 Compassion irritation
🔸 Over-identifying with clients
🔸 Avoidance
🔸 Feeling “full” after sessions

Today’s wisdom:
Supervision is not just a requirement.
It’s a space for regulation, grounding, perspective-taking, and reconnecting with your purpose.

Your wellbeing directly shapes the quality of the space you hold.
Protecting it is part of the work.

One of the most powerful things you can learn about yourself is your Window of Tolerance — the zone where your nervous system can cope, think clearly, and respond rather than react.

Outside that window?
🔸 Hyperarousal – anxiety, overwhelm, racing thoughts
🔸 Hypoarousal – numb, shut down, disconnected

Today’s wisdom:
You’re not “overreacting” or “being too sensitive.”
Your nervous system is communicating its limits.

Practical ways to widen your window:
✔ Gentle grounding (deep breaths, feet on the floor)
✔ Routine + predictability
✔ Reducing sensory overwhelm
✔ Supportive relationships or supervision
✔ Trauma-informed therapy

A regulated nervous system isn’t a luxury — it’s a foundation.
Be curious, not critical, about what your window is telling you.

Therapy isn’t easy — and it’s not supposed to be.
Whether you’re trying to change an old pattern, heal from a relationship, or understand the stories that shape how you see yourself I’m here to help you find a way through.
I work in an integrative, relational way combining neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma-informed approaches.
Because real healing doesn’t come from one method — it comes from the relationship we build together.
I don’t believe in limiting labels.
You’re more than a diagnosis — you’re a whole person, with a story that deserves to be seen, heard, and re-imagined.
Based in Gloucestershire,London.
Working in person at 10 Harley Street, London, and online across the UK and internationally 🌍
I’m an accredited BACP therapist, fully insured and accepted by Vitality, AXA, Aviva, and WPA.
If you’re curious about therapy or wondering what working together might feel like, send a message —
the first step is simply a conversation. 💬

Finding the right therapist can make all the difference — and it’s completely okay to take your time until it feels like a good fit.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you figure out if a therapist might be the right match for you 👇

✨ You feel safe, seen & not judged
✨ They listen (not lecture)
✨ Their approach fits your needs — gentle, structured, creative, practical
✨ They understand neurodivergence, not just say they do
✨ Communication feels clear & accessible
✨ You can ask questions without feeling silly
✨ Fees, boundaries & availability are transparent
✨ Sessions fit your energy & schedule
✨ You can be honest — even about wanting to leave

💭 Remember: You’re allowed to change your mind.
You’re allowed to find what works for you.

👉 Save this for later or share it with someone starting their therapy journey.

Therapy isn’t just for the hard days.
It’s for the in-between days too —
when you feel “fine-ish” but something still feels heavy.
When you’re tired of repeating old patterns.
When you want to feel more you.

Starting therapy doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you —
it means you’re ready to grow. 🌱
