About Me

Hello and welcome!

I am a qualified Systemic Psychotherapist and Family & Couple Psychotherapist, accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Association of Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFSP), with over 20 years’ experience working in the NHS (London and Cornwall) and in private practice.

I offer therapeutic support to adults, couples, parents, children and families experiencing relationship difficulties, communication problems, emotional distress or life transitions.

My approach is warm, collaborative and focused. I aim to create a safe, respectful and confidential space where people feel able to talk openly, explore challenges and find new ways forward. My practice is inclusive, culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming and neuro-affirmative.


How I Can Help

I work with individuals, couples and families facing challenges such as:

Relationship conflict and breakdown
Family estrangement
Communication difficulties
Separation, divorce and step-family life
Parenting challenges and family stress
Loss, bereavement and life transitions
Anxiety, depression, self-harm and emotional distress
Illness, trauma and major life changes
Experience of migration, expatriation and international working life

Working with Individuals

I work one-to-one with adults who wish to explore relationship to self, loved ones and personal goals from a systemic perspective.

Working with Couples

I provide a safe and supportive space for couples to explore difficulties, improve communication and rebuild understanding and connection when life events impact, when relationships feel disconnected and intimacy does not feel possible.

Working with Families

Family & Systemic Therapy helps families understand each other’s experiences, strengthen relationships, build on strengths and make positive changes together. I work with adult families who experience conflict and estrangement individually and as a group. I create space for individuals within relationships to be heard and share their perspective safely and work towards their goals, this can be conflict resolution or achieving understanding.

Working with children and young people

I have extensive experience working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and across schools, charities and public sector services, supporting children, young people and families. I offer a space for young people to be heard and understood when their experience life transitions and challenges that impact their well-being and when met with questioning about their relationship to self, their identities, being gender identity, sexual orientation.

Working with Parents

I support parents in their parenting dilemmas in response to their children's needs and developing identities, providing them with a space to make sense of their own experience and that of their child/ren, find emotional attunement and therapeutic parenting approaches that fit their child/ren's needs.
