You might be used to coping.
Holding things together.
Being the one others rely on.
But inside, your mind rarely feels quiet.
You overthink, feel responsible for how others feel, and wonder why you still don’t feel at ease, even when life looks “fine” from the outside. This constant inner pressure can be exhausting, especially when you feel you “should” be coping better by now.
How I work
I work in a calm, thoughtful way, helping you make sense of what you’re feeling rather than trying to fix or rush you.
I’m not someone who sits back and nods silently. I’m actively engaged, curious and involved in the work. We might pause at times, because space can matter, but my approach is to work alongside you, thinking things through together rather than leaving you alone with them.
My work is attachment-based. I offer online counselling to women across the UK, and I specialise in anxiety, relationship difficulties, loss, and times of life transition. From an attachment perspective, we pay attention to how early relationships shape the way we cope, relate to others, and respond to emotional pressure in adult life.
We look at how you became the person you are through your life experiences, your relationships, and the way you relate to yourself. We work at a pace that suits you, with curiosity rather than judgement.
I don’t stick labels on normal emotional responses or assume there is one “right” way to heal. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy make sense when viewed through an attachment lens. Therapy is a space where you can slow things down, think out loud, and begin to make changes in your life.
Who I work with
I work with women aged 18+ who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or self-critical, often beneath a very capable exterior.
You might recognise yourself if you tend to overthink, feel responsible for how other people feel, find relationships emotionally demanding, or carry a sense that you “should” be coping better by now.
Many of the women I work with have spent a long time managing on their own. They are used to holding things together, being relied on by others, and pushing their own needs aside. Inside, this can show up as constant inner pressure, anxiety that doesn’t fully settle, or a feeling of emotional loneliness, even when life looks “fine” from the outside to others.
From an attachment perspective, these patterns often develop early as ways of staying connected, safe, or needed in relationships. Therapy offers a space to understand these responses with compassion, rather than seeing them as personal failings - and to begin responding to yourself differently.
What therapy can offer
Therapy isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about understanding yourself more clearly and feeling less driven by inner pressure.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in their own thoughts, emotions, or patterns, even when they’ve been coping for a long time.
Change often begins when you feel safe enough to pause and make sense of what’s been happening, rather than staying caught in constant inner pressure.
Therapy offers time to reflect, to feel less alone with what you’re carrying, and to begin relating to yourself with more compassion and clarity.
