If you’re feeling disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns you don’t quite understand, I’m here to help you find your way back to your centre of gravity. I work with a wide range of issues, and clients often seek me out when they want to work deeply on challenging family dynamics, difficult partner relationships, or work-related issues such as burnout.
My work is deeply holistic, blending person-centred psychology and neuroscience with Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy. We won’t just look at surface symptoms; we look at the "whole" you. In our sessions, I aim to work in partnership with you to:
• understand yourself so that you’re not alone and don’t have to hide anymore,
• understand your internal confusion and why it’s there,
• rebuild parts of your internal scaffolding that are shaky and can crumble under pressure,
• create a new relationship where all of you can feel held and seen even the anger and the shame, and
• where you can mourn what you’ve lost or never had.
I believe therapy can meaningfully transform how we feel about ourselves and our lives. As Jung suggested, the aim of therapy is not to fix our problems, but to outgrow them.
I come from a working-class, North East family with a legacy of intergenerational trauma and anxiety. Through my own journey of healing, I chose to leave an international corporate career of 17 years and retrain to become the therapist I once needed. This lived experience, combined with my clinical training, allows me to meet you with genuine empathy and professional depth.
I work in person in Teddington TW11 and remotely on zoom for clients in other parts of the UK.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
