My Approach

My approach supports you to make sense of what you have been through, reconnect with your inner resources, and develop a way of being that feels more authentic, resilient, and aligned with who you are becoming. Whether you are facing a specific challenge, navigating a life transition, or seeking greater meaning and fulfilment, therapy can offer the opportunity for profound and lasting change. anxiety, overwhelm, depression, stuckness, or disconnection.and create lasting change in both your personal and professional life.

I have a particular interest in supporting people through midlife transitions, questions of identity and purpose, spiritual exploration, and the challenges that arise when old ways of being no longer fit who we are becoming.

About Me

I am a UKCP-registered Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapist and developmental coach with more than 40 years' experience supporting personal and professional growth.

Life can sometimes leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about who we are and how we want to live. Often these difficulties have deeper roots in our life experiences, relationships, beliefs, and unconscious patterns.
I offer depth-oriented transpersonal psychotherapy, providing a reflective and compassionate space in which we can explore these deeper layers together. Alongside addressing immediate concerns, therapy can help uncover the underlying dynamics shaping your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

Special Interests

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.

Many of the people I work with describe feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by worry, or unable to switch off. They may appear capable and successful on the outside, yet internally they are battling self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that something might go wrong. Anxiety is often more than a symptom to be managed. It can be a signal that deeper emotional needs, unresolved experiences, or long-established patterns are seeking attention. Sometimes anxiety develops from living with chronic stress, difficult relationships, high expectations, or childhood experiences that taught us to stay alert, please others, or suppress our own needs. I have a particular interest in helping people understand the underlying causes of their anxiety rather than simply finding ways to cope with it. Together, we explore the beliefs, emotions, and patterns that may be driving your distress, creating space for greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and choice. As therapy progresses, many clients find they become less governed by fear and worry, more connected to themselves, and better able to navigate life's challenges with confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of inner calm.
Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of fulfilment in our lives, but they can also be where we experience our deepest struggles. Many of the people I work with find themselves caught in recurring patterns of conflict, disappointment, loneliness, or feeling unseen and misunderstood. Others may struggle with trust, boundaries, intimacy, or a fear of abandonment or rejection. Often, the ways we relate to others have their roots in our earliest relationships. The beliefs we hold about ourselves, what we expect from others, and how safe we feel in connection can all be shaped by past experiences. As a result, we may find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, even when they no longer serve us. I have a particular interest in helping people explore the deeper dynamics that influence their relationships. Together, we can develop an understanding of the emotional patterns, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that may be affecting your ability to create and sustain healthy, fulfilling connections. Whether you are experiencing difficulties with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, therapy can provide an opportunity to understand yourself more clearly and relate to others in new ways. As insight and self-awareness grow, many clients find they are able to communicate more authentically, establish healthier boundaries, and build relationships that are more satisfying, secure, and meaningful.
Many of the people I work with are carrying far more than those around them realise. They may be managing demanding careers, caring responsibilities, relationship challenges, or major life changes while trying to keep everything together. On the surface they appear capable and resilient, yet internally they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, or close to burnout. Stress is often seen as something to simply push through, but when it becomes chronic it can affect every aspect of our lives. It may leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, unable to relax, struggling to sleep, or constantly driven by a sense that there is always more to do. I have a particular interest in helping people understand not only the sources of stress in their lives, but also the deeper patterns that can make stress difficult to manage. For some, this may involve perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a tendency to prioritise the needs of others while neglecting their own wellbeing. Therapy offers a space to step out of the pressures of daily life and reflect on what is really happening beneath the surface. Together, we can explore the beliefs, expectations, and habits that may be contributing to stress, helping you develop a healthier and more sustainable way of living. As therapy progresses, many clients find they become better able to manage life's demands, make choices that support their wellbeing, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance, clarity, and resilience.
Some of the people I work with have experienced periods in their lives when emotional pain, hopelessness, or despair have felt overwhelming. They may find themselves struggling with thoughts of not wanting to be here, questioning the value of their life, or feeling exhausted by the effort of carrying on. Suicidal thoughts can arise for many reasons. They are often associated with depression, trauma, loss, isolation, overwhelming stress, or a profound sense of disconnection from oneself, others, or life itself. While these experiences can feel frightening and deeply distressing, they are often a reflection of unbearable emotional suffering rather than a genuine wish to die. Therapy offers an opportunity to develop a different relationship with anxiety, uncertainty, and self-criticism. As understanding grows, many clients find themselves becoming less dominated by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, and more able to live with greater freedom, self-trust, and peace of mind. I have a particular interest in supporting people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts and helping them understand the underlying pain, circumstances, and patterns that may be contributing to their distress. Therapy offers a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly and explored safely. Together, we can work to make sense of your experience, strengthen your connection to your own resources and support networks, and develop a greater sense of hope, meaning, and possibility. Many people find that when their suffering is understood and addressed, they are able to reconnect with reasons for living and discover new ways forward.
Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling that they are "not enough", putting others first, or striving to meet impossible standards. Often these patterns originate in childhood environments where criticism, emotional neglect, or a lack of emotional safety were the norm. I have a particular interest in helping clients understand and heal the effects of developmental trauma, so they can move beyond survival strategies and develop a stronger sense of self-worth, agency, and emotional freedom.
