Not only have I recognised in my own life the effect boarding school has had, but I know too how much many of those who went to the same school have struggled. Yet everyone’s story is different and that both fascinates me and affirms our common humanity. My training and personal therapy has not only helped me work through my own issues but also to learn how to listen and to be truly present for others - these things don’t come naturally to ex-boarders! I live on the south coast of the UK on the border of West Sussex and Hampshire.

I support adults with anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, workplace stress, and neurodivergence-related challenges. If you’re feeling stuck or finding things hard to manage, therapy can help you make sense of things and feel more grounded. As an ex-boarder, I also work with people affected by the long-term emotional impact of boarding school.

CPACB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling BSc (Honours) in Psychology with Counselling (First class Honours) The Open University Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stuckness, family and relationship issues, life transitions the effects of childhood trauma. 

My approach is humanistic, which means we focus on you, your experiences, and your feelings. I believe every person has the capacity to grow, understand themselves, and find solutions that work for their life. In our sessions, I listen deeply, reflect what I hear, and support you in uncovering insights and making changes that feel right for you. You guide the pace, and I create a safe, non-judgmental environment for exploration.
