Whatever brings you here
What brings
you here?
Sometimes you know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes you just know you don't feel like yourself. We can begin wherever you are.
01Anxiety & overwhelm
When your thoughts won't slow down, or the everyday feels like too much. A space to pause, untangle what's happening and find some steadier ground.
02Trauma & difficult experiences
Support with the things you've been carrying. We explore your experiences gently, at a pace that feels safe for you.
03Emotional eating
Understand the feelings behind your relationship with food. A compassionate approach, without blame, shame or another set of rules.
04Grief, loss & change
When life no longer looks the way you expected. Someone alongside you as you make sense of loss and find your way through.
05Self-worth & relationships
Space for your needs, your boundaries and your voice. Explore how you relate to yourself and the people around you.

The story
behind
the care.
Why this work matters to me.
What brought me here.
And what it means to be alongside you.
Choosing a therapist

Space for change
Change begins
at your pace.
Therapy moves at your pace.
There is no right way to begin.
First, a little space.
To pause. To be heard. To arrive just as you are, without having to explain everything all at once.
Then, understanding.
Together, we gently explore your experiences, your feelings and the patterns that have shaped your life.
Your own way forward.
Room for new perspectives, a kinder relationship with yourself and small changes that feel like you.
A person, not just a practice
Hi, I'm Teri.
I'm on your side.
I believe we all deserve to feel seen, heard and accepted. Not a polished version of ourselves. Not the person we think we should be. Just us.
With 25 years in wellbeing, I bring warmth, curiosity and a down-to-earth approach to psychotherapy. Together, we'll make space for your story and find a way of working that feels right for you.
A genuine connection.
The path that brought me here
Supporting survivors at She-UK
My counselling placement supported adults who had experienced abuse as children. That work shaped the care, patience and sensitivity I bring to therapy.
Alongside grief at St Luke’s
Working with St Luke’s bereavement team deepened my understanding of loss, and of giving each person’s grief its own time and space.
A practice shaped around you
Person-centred therapy, CBT, somatic approaches, EFT and mindfulness, brought together around your experience and what matters to you.

Kind words
In their
own words.
A few of the people who have found their way here, and what changed for them. Shared with their permission.
My husband and I had been trying to conceive for over a year when I came to speak to Teri. I’d explored physiological reasons and I knew I couldn’t do anything else but explore what was going on for me, to help me process the fact that I might never have a second child.
Teri was able to give me time and space. She spoke with care and empathy and helped me build real, practical mechanisms to feel more present, focused and relaxed in my day-to-day life. I ultimately managed to remove ‘trying to conceive’ as the central motivating drive in my life. And lo and behold, I fell pregnant. The support, guidance, safe space and tools she taught me no doubt had a huge role in this.
You helped me to understand and release what was holding me back, and to get rid of the distorted thoughts my mind was giving me. When I feel anxiety creep in now, I know how to deal with it through tapping rather than suppressing it, being curious about the feeling and its message.
Last summer, after years of anxiety and periods of depression, I reached the lowest point of my life. Overwhelmed by work, grief and traumatic experiences, I stopped sleeping and eating properly, suffered severe panic attacks and dissociation, and no longer felt safe even in my own home.
Finding Teri changed everything. From our first sessions, she created a genuinely safe space where I felt understood, supported and never judged. Rather than offering a temporary fix, she gave me practical tools to manage anxiety, recognise negative thought patterns, set boundaries and rebuild my mental health from the foundations up.
When I returned to work too soon and suffered a relapse, Teri helped me understand that a setback didn’t erase my progress or mean I had failed. Through our continued work, including EFT, I was able to safely explore deeply rooted trauma and finally begin releasing pain I had carried for years.
Today, my life is completely different. I understand myself, recognise my needs and have the confidence to use my voice. Life isn’t always perfect, but I now have the tools to navigate difficult moments.
Thanks, Teri, for helping me find myself again and believe: “What if something good happens?”
