Not in Crisis but Still Struggling? I Can Help

If you're not in immediate danger but are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout, therapy can offer a safe place to unpack what you're feeling and begin to rebuild your sense of calm.

I work with people who are:

  • Constantly “switched on” even outside of work and privately exhausted

  • Caught in cycles of health anxiety or panic

  • Feeling disconnected, stuck, or emotionally drained

You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. Get in touch to book a free 15-minute consultation or explore how I can support you.
