I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, and a registered member of both the UKCP and BACP. I have worked in NHS settings as well as in private practice, supporting adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages.
I work in an integrative and relational way, drawing on a range of psychological theories and clinical approaches rather than following a single model. This allows the work to remain responsive to the complexity and individuality of each person. Some people come to therapy because of immediate difficulties in their relationships, work, or emotional wellbeing, while others are seeking to understand how earlier experiences continue to shape how they feel, relate, or experience themselves in the present.
Rather than working to a one size fits all framework, therapy is shaped collaboratively, with close attention to what you bring, how patterns emerge both within and outside the therapeutic relationship, and what feels most relevant at different stages of the work. Much of my work involves anxiety that feels persistent or hard to quieten, relational patterns that repeat despite insight, experiences of emotional neglect or developmental trauma, and times of transition or loss. This may include exploring recurring relational difficulties, patterns of self criticism or emotional withdrawal, or a sense of feeling stuck despite insight.
I see the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful and lasting change, offering a secure and reflective space where difficult or previously unspoken experiences can be approached with care, curiosity, and respect. You do not need to have a clear sense of what you want from therapy at the outset; part of the work can be finding language for what feels unclear or unresolved.
You are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial conversation and see whether this way of working feels right for you.
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist (UKCP Reg. No. 2011172281) and a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor (MBACP. Reg. No. 393039).
Choosing a therapist can feel daunting, particularly when you are already carrying emotional strain or uncertainty. I offer a free 15-minute introductory conversation as a first step, giving us the opportunity to begin getting to know one another, to hear something of your situation, and to decide together whether working together feels right.
I work as a psychotherapist and counsellor with adults, offering both in-person and online therapy. I aim to provide a thoughtful and containing space where things can slow down enough for reflection, and where you can speak openly about what is going on for you. I work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, and the impact of past experiences.
Therapy can at times feel challenging, particularly when difficult feelings or long-standing patterns come into focus. I place great importance on building a respectful, reliable, and engaged therapeutic relationship, where experiences can be approached with care and sensitivity. I am attentive to vulnerability and emotional safety, especially when working with experiences that may previously have felt overwhelming or hard to put into words.
My role is not to impose change or provide solutions, but to support deeper understanding and self-awareness over time. I work in a curious, reflective, and emotionally attuned way, offering gentle challenge where it feels helpful, while remaining responsive to what you need at different points in the work. This may involve making space to think aloud, noticing patterns as they emerge, and gradually finding new ways of relating to yourself and others.
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.
