My Approach

My practice is integrative, informed by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and neurobiological perspectives. This allows me to work flexibly and in depth, drawing on different approaches as needed while maintaining a focus on the relationship and emotional process at the heart of therapy.

Sessions are reflective and collaborative, offering a space to explore patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour with curiosity and care. While I may introduce specific techniques when appropriate, the emphasis is on understanding and lasting change rather than short-term solutions.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

Anxiety, depression, and low mood

Relationship and attachment issues

Trauma and complex trauma

Addiction and compulsive behaviours

Stress, burnout, and perfectionism

Identity and self-esteem concerns

Neurodiversity (ASD, ADHD, and related challenges)

Life transitions, loss, and change

About Me

I’m a registered integrative psychotherapist with experience working across the lifespan, from adolescence through to older adulthood. My clinical background spans private practice, higher education, and mental-health services, where I’ve supported individuals facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties.

Before specialising in psychotherapy, I worked in corporate, psychiatry and university settings, supporting people through times of transition, stress, and personal change. These varied roles have shaped my understanding of how context, such as work, relationships, culture, and early experiences, influence wellbeing and self-belief.

My approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and psychological depth. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels steady and attuned, where you can explore your experiences safely and at your own pace. I bring sensitivity to the impact of culture and identity, informed in part by my own mixed background and experience of living and working across different cultures.
