Counselling & Psychotherapy
for anxiety, overthinking and feeling overwhelmed

Counselling and psychotherapy offers a space that many people don’t have elsewhere.

A place where you don’t need to hold everything together.
Where you don’t need to explain yourself perfectly.
Where you don’t need to decide in advance what the problem is.

Many of the women who come to work with me are used to managing.
They think things through carefully, anticipate other people’s needs, and keep going, even when they feel exhausted inside.

Their mind is rarely quiet.
There’s often a sense of pressure, responsibility, or self-doubt running in the background.

 

Counselling creates room to slow all of that down.

 

My work is attachment-based, which means we take time to understand what sits underneath what you’re experiencing.

Not to fix it quickly, but to make sense of why it feels the way it does, and how those patterns have developed.

I offer online therapy to women across the UK, working at a pace that allows you to pause and reflect.

You might recognise this

People come to counselling and psychotherapy for many different reasons. Often it’s not one clear issue, but a build-up over time.

You might notice that:

  • your mind goes over conversations again and again

  • you feel anxious or unsettled without knowing why

  • you’re hard on yourself, even when others see you as capable

  • relationships feel emotionally demanding or draining

  • you struggle to ask for support, even when you need it

  • you feel stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself

 

For some women, these feelings are connected to particular life stages or experiences — such as menopause, fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss, becoming a parent, or the shifting identity that comes with caring for others.

For others, there’s no obvious event at all. Either way, these experiences can quietly unsettle how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and your sense of stability.

You don’t need a diagnosis, a clear story, or a crisis to come to counselling.

Sometimes it’s enough to know that something isn’t working as it used to.

What sessions are like

I work in a way that allows things to unfold naturally, without pressure to rush or arrive at answers too quickly.

There’s space to think out loud, sit with uncertainty, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.

 

I won’t tell you what to do, but I won’t sit back in silence either. I’m actively engaged and will offer reflections, questions, and gentle challenges where it feels helpful.

Some weeks, the focus might be on what’s happening right now. Other weeks, something older may come into view. We pay attention to what’s happening in the room, as well as how past experiences may still be shaping the present.

Over time, many people notice they feel less driven by constant inner pressure, more able to pause, and less harsh towards themselves. 

Therapy with me is open-ended. There’s no set number of sessions and no block you need to commit to. Some people come for a shorter period to work through something specific. Others stay longer, using therapy as a space for deeper reflection and ongoing support. We’ll regularly check in about how the work feels and what you’re wanting from it.

If you're thinking about starting therapy

You might be wondering if it’s the right time, or whether what you’re feeling is “enough” to bring.

There isn’t a right or wrong place to start.

If you’re curious, we can begin with an introductory chat and see how it feels.

Sessions cost £70, last 50 minutes and take place online, usually weekly.

I work in an open-ended way, so we continue for as long as feels useful for you.
