About me

I support individuals dealing with issues including anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours, communication difficulties, numbness, anger, and trauma responses. My clients come from diverse backgrounds and face various challenges, with varying economic, social, and personal circumstances. I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients. I was a social worker prior to my career in psychotherapy.

"A psychotherapist is not an 'expert' at being human...I am the fellow struggling human being who is prepared to put on their wellington boots and wade into the mud with my client." (Cook, 2025)

Understanding Through Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can alleviate deep-seated distress and confusion, helping you gain clarity about who you are and the changes you wish to make. It involves reflecting on your experiences and understanding your mind's workings to foster personal growth and healthier relationships.

Personalised and Professional Support

I provide confidential, compassionate, and professional therapy.

Holistic Therapy Approach

My trauma-informed and 'whole-health' approach considers your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Therapy is a space to experience, learn, and tap into your inner wisdom, promoting overall health and resilience.

Creating a Safe Therapeutic Space

The success of therapy relies on feeling emotionally safe and understood. My goal is to help you feel heard and appropriately challenged, enabling you to explore and resolve underlying issues and make lasting changes.

Effective Psychological Therapies

Psychological therapies have a strong track record in helping people manage and recover from a variety of issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Relationship Counselling

I use techniques from 'Imago Relationship Therapy', psychanalytic psychotherapy concepts and 'Transactional Analysis,' to enhance communication, safety and positivity within your relationships.

Commitment to Growth and Positivity

I am dedicated to helping partners and family members improve their connections and bring positivity back into their relationships. If you're willing to work on your issues together, we can make significant progress.

Testimonials

For ethical reasons, I don't use testimonials. My professional body, the UKCP, has a Code of Ethics and Professional Practice that prohibits the use of testimonials. My work and relationships with each client is unique to them, so your journey and experience will also be individual to you. The process of psychotherapy can be transformative and immensely helpful. However, it can also be very challenging in many ways, with bumpy roads along the way involving strenuous conversations and rough patches of discovery, in order to make significant and lasting change. Testimonials are subjective and biased (often only talking about the positive aspects someone has had) and can at times give unrealistic expectations to new clients. I use an ethical and reflective approach to my work and I welcome your enquiry.
