To quote a certain song, everybody hurts sometimes.

There is no one among us who moves through life without being wounded—sometimes deeply, often unfairly. You may be carrying the weight of caring for others, living with betrayal or rejection, grieving the loss of security, or feeling silenced for far too long. You may simply feel that somewhere along the way, you lost touch with yourself.

Whatever brings you here, you are not weak for struggling — and you don’t have to face it alone.

Therapy offers something no search engine or self-help solution can replace: a safe, human relationship where you are deeply heard, understood, and met with kindness. We are not designed to heal in isolation. Growth happens in connection — through compassion, acceptance, and genuine understanding. I have never seen anyone heal through self-criticism, yet so many of us try.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and an experienced professional coach, and my work at Calm Journey is grounded in Person-Centred Experiential Therapy. This approach places you at the centre of the work. It trusts in your inner wisdom, honours your lived experience, and supports you to move at your own pace. You are not analysed, directed, or “fixed” — instead, therapy becomes a space where your own understanding and strength can emerge.

Alongside this core approach, I have particular experience and passion in supporting people who:
• Live with the realities of a neurodivergent mind
• Carry long-term caring responsibilities for loved ones
• Have lost their voice or sense of self through abuse
• Struggle with self-worth, self-criticism, or self-compassion
• Want to better understand and support men’s mental and emotional wellbeing — whether for themselves or someone they care about

My aim is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to explore what hurts, and respected enough to rediscover who you are beneath the weight of expectation, trauma, or loss.

If you’re ready to reach out, it’ll be an important first step away from the paralysis found in loneliness.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be… I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
