What we will achieve together

I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life. We will work together to understand your needs and find solutions that truly resonate with you. My aim is to empower you so that through our work together, you will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
• Build your self-esteem and resilience.
• Develop the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and achieve your personal goals.

I look forward to connecting with you soon and exploring a positive way forward together.

What truly motivates me?

My work as a therapist at The Listening Lounge is driven by a deep, genuine desire to help others find clarity. I find immense fulfillment in the privilege of witnessing an individual’s journey: seeing clients overcome challenges, gain profound self-awareness, and achieve tangible improvements in their mental well-being.

My passion is rooted in creating the safe, non-judgmental environment needed for this exploration. I truly believe in your inherent capacity for personal growth. There is deep satisfaction in empowering clients to unlock their inner strength and move toward a more fulfilling life. The diverse human experiences I encounter are both challenging and profoundly rewarding, and I feel honoured to contribute to positive change in the lives of adults in the Derby area.

I am now a qualified Aphantasia therapist and work with people who experience thoughts, emotions, memory, or internal processing differently. Aphantasia, SDAM, anauralia, anendophasia, and alexithymia can shape how we experience emotions, identity, relationships, and connection to ourselves. Many people have spent years feeling misunderstood or “different” without having language for their experience. Therapy can offer a safe space to explore this with greater understanding, self-compassion, and support.
