Who I Am

I'm a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor specialising in anxiety therapy for adults. I work with people experiencing persistent worry, overthinking, relationship anxiety, low self-esteem, and that difficult feeling of being stuck or disconnected from themselves.

Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS, supporting clients with complex emotional difficulties, long-standing patterns, and trauma. This experience has shaped a way of working that is both grounded and practical, helping people make sense of what they're experiencing while creating meaningful and lasting change.

I believe anxiety rarely appears without a reason. Often, it develops from experiences, relationships, or ways of coping that once served a purpose but no longer feel helpful. My role is to help you understand what may be driving your anxiety, recognise the patterns that are keeping it going, and find new ways of responding to life's challenges.

I'm not a therapist who simply sits and nods along. I work in a direct, honest, and supportive way, offering both challenge and compassion where needed. Together, we'll explore what's happening beneath the surface, helping you gain greater clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of control in your life.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what they need, or unable to put their experiences into words. You don't need to arrive with a clear goal or a perfect explanation of what's wrong. If something doesn't feel right, that's enough to begin.

If you're looking for anxiety counselling, psychotherapy, or therapy in Newcastle upon Tyne, I'd be pleased to support you. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or simply feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can provide a space to understand yourself more deeply and move towards lasting change.
