Overcoming Relationship Anxiety & Emotional Wellbeing
I am a firm believer that “the relationship is the therapy”, which is part of the way I work which enables me to establish and maintain successful and effective working alliances. As part of the therapeutic process, I consider a good working relationship vital in our work together, for a successful outcome to be achieved. It is my aim to provide a safe space where I can listen to you in a non- judgemental, trusting and understanding environment. I work collaboratively with individuals, rather than acting as an expert as I believe each person knows themselves best.

Empowering Women Through Relationship and Emotional Connection Counselling
Welcome to my counselling practice. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward, you're not alone. I provide therapy for women across the UK who are navigating a range of emotional, mental, and life challenges. Life presents challenges that can leave us feeling unsure of ourselves, struggling with relationships, or unsure of where to turn. I understand what it’s like to seek therapy. I’ve been through my own journey of personal development and I know how intimidating it can feel. You’re not alone in this, I know that reaching out for therapy takes courage, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.
In our work together, we’ll explore how your emotions, past experiences, and internal beliefs shape your relationships today. Whether it’s feeling misunderstood, dealing with stress or relationship anxiety, or finding it hard to connect with those around you, we will work to uncover the root causes of these challenges. By getting to know yourself better, you’ll gain clarity about the emotional patterns that affect your relationships, and we can start making changes to create healthier connections.
I offer face-to-face counselling sessions in a calm and private garden office located at my home in South West London. The office is accessed via a separate entrance through the side gate, ensuring discretion and privacy. There are no pets on the premises, apart from a few peaceful goldfish in the outdoor pond.
The space includes toilet facilities and has been set up with health and safety in mind to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Relationship anxiety can manifest as fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, or constant overthinking about your relationship. It can also affect self-esteem and lead to insecurity. It’s important to understand that these feelings are common, and therapy can help address the root causes. Constant worry, self-doubt, and the fear of rejection can leave you feeling disconnected from the people around you. If you find yourself asking, “Do they care about me?” or “Am I enough?” you’re not alone, these are common signs that anxiety is affecting your peace of mind and your connections. Anxiety in relationships can make it hard to feel secure, leading to overthinking, misunderstandings, and unnecessary tension. The constant fear of “messing up” or not meeting expectations can prevent you from fully engaging with others.

If your relationships are feeling distant or difficult, it’s normal to feel frustrated or unsure of how to make things better. Whether it’s communication problems, misunderstandings, or emotional disconnect, therapy can offer a space to talk things through without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll look at what’s causing the tension and explore how past experiences or patterns might be affecting your relationships. We’ll take things slowly, looking at the emotional needs of both sides, so you can start to rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, and improve your connection with others.

In our counselling work, I welcome the exploration of how your cultural background and attachment style may be influencing your emotional responses and relationships. Together, we’ll examine how cultural expectations and past experiences shape your feelings and behaviours.
By exploring what might be affecting your relationships, we’ll identify patterns linked to cultural influences or attachment dynamics. This deeper understanding will support you in recognising how these factors impact your emotional well-being, helping you navigate them more effectively and build healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.

Your mind and body are closely linked. What happens in your mind, your thoughts, feelings, and stress can directly affect your body. Similarly, the way your body feels can impact your mood and how you think. When you feel stressed or anxious, your body reacts. You might feel tension in your muscles, headaches, or tightness in your chest. These physical symptoms are your body’s way of responding to what’s happening in your mind. At the same time, physical problems or discomfort can also influence how you feel emotionally. This is why taking care of your body can help improve your mental health and vice versa. Your brain and body are constantly sending messages to each other. The more stressed your mind feels, the more your body reacts to that stress.

Not all trauma comes from big, dramatic events like accidents or major losses. Some trauma comes from smaller, everyday experiences that slowly build up over time. These are often called “small t” traumas. They can be things like: Being ignored, constant criticism, feeling dismissed or not listened to, being left out, feeling unwanted or not good enough. On their own, these moments might not seem like a big deal. But when they happen again and again, they can leave emotional wounds that affect how you see yourself and how you relate to others.
For example:
If someone is often criticised, they may start to feel anxious, not good enough, or unsure of themselves, even if no one meant to hurt them. These experiences can quietly shape your confidence, your relationships, and your mental health. Just because they seem “small” doesn’t mean they don’t matter.
