Hello!
Welcome, I'm glad you've found me. 🙂
Whether you're navigating perfectionism, social anxiety, or simply looking for a safe space to be yourself, I'm here to support you.
I'm Grace!
I know first-hand how overwhelming it can be to feel trapped by perfectionism, anxiety, or the challenges of being neurodiverse.
These are struggles I’ve faced myself—feeling like I wasn’t enough, constantly questioning if I was doing things "right," and trying to fit into a world that didn’t always feel like it made sense. It’s because of my own journey that I’m so passionate about supporting people who also feel like they are constantly falling short, trapped in their own minds, or misunderstood by the world around them.
Whether online or in person, in my therapy space: you’ll find a place where you are seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring the challenges you face and creating a plan to help you feel more confident, approachable, and at peace in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

The Process
Let's chat
Get in touch! State briefly what you want to focus on in therapy, and we'll arrange a time for a first session.
We'll have a chat going over your goals for therapy, my contract, and your availability.
Need time to decide I'm right for you? You don't have to make any decisions in the moment - I'll follow up.
Off we go!
If you're happy to continue - we'll spend 50 minutes ideally each week (although this can be flexible) on the same day and time either in person or online.
Each session will be unique to your needs; I will check in with you with every step. Have your perspective heard, process what holds you back, and move forward feeling confident with self-regulation techniques and new self-compassion.
Start the process today and get in touch.
How I Work
Thoughts and feelings don’t have to control your life if you understand them.
I offer a warm, safe and nonjudgemental space to help you on your journey of self-development and discovery. Together, we'll disentangle the difficult moments in your life - past, present or future, and work towards new and freeing perspectives. Our sessions can be online, via Zoom or in person, contact me to discuss further.
I am an Integrative client-lead therapist - meaning I pull from many counselling theories to create a style that's tailored to you, whilst giving you the autonomy to say how you would like your therapy to be. Perhaps you'd like to focus on one present issue, or maybe you'd like to just turn up and see where your sessions take you - it's your choice, and I support you completely.
Providing an empathic, supportive, confidential space we will explore and reflect on what is going on for you presently, whilst also looking at how your past might still be impacting you. I give support, acceptance, encouragement whilst offering reflections that you might not have considered. I can also reveal the science behind your or others’ emotional responses; thoughts and feelings don’t have to control your life if you understand them. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll begin to explore some real physical actions you can take to create the life you want.
In sessions we work together - you are the captain of our ship, you decide where we go. Together, we will venture out and explore; finding new outlooks, feelings and perhaps, a better understanding of yourself. I am here to help empower you - give wind to your sails as you navigate changes to your own life.
My modalities: the therapeutic relationship, Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Psychoeducation, Existential, Transpersonal with a sprinkle of Gestalt and a rare few CBT techniques.

I review my fees annually every September, although this does not always mean an increase.
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety can be incredibly isolating. It’s often misunderstood as simple shyness or introversion, but it’s much more than that. People with social anxiety want to connect, share laughs, and feel accepted by others—but the fear of judgment can make even basic interactions feel impossible.
I know how overwhelming it can be to walk into a room and feel hyper-aware of yourself—wondering if you’re saying the wrong thing, or if people will like you.
“Is my hair okay? Is there something in my teeth? Should I be smiling right now or is that too much? Are they finding me boring right now? I’m forgetting what they’re saying! What did I say?! Just focus!”
It can feel like you’re being flooded with worries, all while you're trying to act “normal.” But this doesn’t have to be your reality.
In our work together, I’ll be your safe space—someone who accepts you exactly as you are, anxiety and all. We'll explore your experiences, gently challenge your fears, and work at your pace to build your confidence in social situations. By the end of therapy, you’ll have the skills and self-understanding to walk into any room with just the regular few nerves, instead of feeling overwhelmed.
You deserve to connect with others and be your true self, whether that’s with friends, a partner, or colleagues. Ready to take the first step? Check out my free resources and book a session today.
