Feel more in control
whatever life throws your way

My approach is grounded in the belief that real change begins when we notice the early signs that our body and mind are shifting out of balance - before we become overwhelmed. From there, it’s possible to tune into these signals and find practical ways to return to a steadier, calmer state.

This is the work of nervous system regulation — also known as emotion regulation - which we work on together in sessions.

I provide a secure, nurturing space to safely explore thoughts, feelings, and life’s challenges. Together, we can focus on building self-awareness, finding new ways of coping, and creating meaningful change.

My background in infant and child development gives me a deep understanding of how early experiences shape our emotional patterns throughout life. I blend talking therapy with body-awareness and relationship-focused work, drawing on current neuroscience.

I believe you are the expert on you. I’m here to support you with compassion and respect so you can begin to shift unhelpful patterns and find new ways to relate to yourself and others.

We learn about the solar system at school, but rarely about our nervous system, which plays a huge role in how we cope with stress and emotions every day.

Your ‘window of tolerance’ is the range in which you can handle life’s challenges without feeling overwhelmed or shutting down. When you’re inside it, you can think clearly, stay grounded and respond in ways that feel balanced.

This window is shaped by our early experiences — but it can also change throughout life. The good news? It can be widened.

In therapy, we explore how your nervous system works, how to spot when you’re moving outside your window, and how to find your way back to feeling safe, steady and in control.

I offer a safe, empathic space where children and young people can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences through play, art, movement and conversation – whatever feels natural for their age and needs.

Together, we build their ability to notice what their body is telling them, understand how their brain handles big emotions, and develop practical tools to manage overwhelming feelings with more choice and less reactivity.

Where appropriate, I also work with parents to support your child or young person in the best possible way. For older teens, this is always done with their consent and respect for their privacy.

When working with parents, we explore ways to strengthen connection with your child, support their emotional regulation, and create a calmer family life. This might include practical strategies for managing difficult moments, working through parenting guilt or overwhelm, and finding better ways to care for yourself alongside supporting your child.

In some cases, meaningful change can be achieved by working solely with parents, without direct work with the child.
