About me

Life can feel overwhelming - school or university pressure, performing in sport, dealing with changes or managing difficult emotions.

Many young people and athletes struggle with anxiety, low confidence, pressure, overthinking or feeling stuck. I’ve been there.

I provide a safe, supportive space where we can talk openly, figure out what’s going on and resolve any underlying causes while developing practical tools that actually work.

I work with teens, young adults and athletes to help them:

  • Reduce anxiety, worry and over-thinking.

  • Build confidence and self-belief.

  • Improve focus, motivation and resilience.

  • Navigate stress, injuries, big changes or everyday life.

  • Improve performance, mindset and well-being.

My Experience & Approach

I combine evidence-based techniques with a person-centred approach, based on your unique needs and experiences.

I believe therapy should be tailored to YOU as an individual.

My training includes:

  • Integrative talk-therapies such as (Cognitive Hypnotherapy, CBT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy.

  • Neurolinguistic Programming. (NLP)

  • Somatic Therapies.

I’ve found - both personally and professionally - that by exploring the patterns beneath our thoughts, emotions and behaviours and resolving any underlying causes, we can understand what’s been holding you back.

Creating a meaningful and lasting change that supports long-term growth.
