My Approach

I work humanistically, which means I believe in your capacity for growth and self-understanding. Rather than fixing problems for you or telling you what to do, my role is to create a space where we explore what is happening, understand its origins, and find a way forward together. I am an active therapist: I ask questions, share reflections, and stay engaged throughout the process, so you are never working things out on your own.


Therapy with me is relational. The relationship between us is built on honesty, warmth, and genuine curiosity, and it is part of what makes change possible. I bring myself into the room as a real, present person.

About Me

I work with people navigating relationship challenges, whether in dating, in partnerships or with family members. You might be thinking "I struggle to meet anyone..", "I can't stop thinking about my ex..", "I find it difficult to end my current relationship..", "I am anxious about filing for divorce..", "I seem to attract the wrong people all the time.." or "My mother or other family members create lots of stress in my life." Emotionally, you might be feeling "I don't understand what's happening to me", "I don't feel like myself anymore..", or " I feel stuck and don't know how to move forward."
Together, let's figure out what's been happening and find a way forward. Over time, clients discover a stronger sense of what they need, so their relationships can begin to feel more mutual and fulfilling. I am 53, and I have lived in the UK for the past 30 years, and before that in Finland and North Africa, and thus have lived experience in immigrant life.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support. My aim is to offer a calm, steady and respectful space where you can begin to breathe again. Email or call me to book a free 15-minute, no-pressure chat — we’ll see whether this feels like the right fit for you.
