My services
Therapy isn’t about pretending everything is okay or forcing positivity. It’s about learning how to live well, even when things are difficult, and finding ways to move forward that feel realistic, meaningful, and kind to yourself.
Sessions are offered online or in-person in Chester, allowing you to access support in the way that suits you best and at a pace that works for you.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, the impact of a physical health condition, or feeling stuck and unsure why, I can help you make sense of what you're going through.
We'll explore what's keeping you stuck, develop practical skills, increase your level of self-compassion and help you move forward.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you:
Understand the difficulties you’re experiencing, by looking at the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours
Develop skills to manage anxiety and low mood
Reduce self-criticism and unhelpful thought patterns
Where relevant, work through the sense of loss for the person you used to be and the things you used to be able to do
Reconnect with what matters to you and rebuild a meaningful life moving forwards.
I also use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help where trauma is impacting somebody’s physical experiences as well as their emotional wellbeing.
Everything you’re feeling makes sense, and together we can work towards easing emotional suffering and helping you feel more like yourself again.

I work with people over the age of 16, who are seeking support for their emotional wellbeing as a result of a variety of challenges; this could be anxiety, panic, stress, burnout, low mood, a traumatic experience that affects you in your day-today life or struggling with the daily toll of a chronic condition.
Having worked in the NHS I have supported people from varying backgrounds with different stories to tell.
