My Approach

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I offer a space where you can be yourself — no need to have it all figured out. Together, we’ll go at your pace. I’ll listen carefully, offer gentle challenges where helpful, and bring tools that support insight and change.

Although my Integrative training spans several approaches (Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Person-Centred, Existential, and Transpersonal), the heart of my work is Internal Family Systems (IFS), a proven model that sees us as made up of different “parts.” Think of the film 'Inside Out' as a reference point: your inner world includes a mix of voices, feelings, and roles that may sometimes clash or feel overwhelming.

IFS helps you meet those parts with curiosity, not criticism–so you can move toward more clarity, confidence, and calm. And while much of our therapy involves talking, it doesn’t have to stop there. Depending on your needs and interests, we might also use creative tools like imagery, dreams, or drawing–especially if some parts of you find it hard to put things into words.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in media, events, and the creative industries, both in the US and UK, so I understand the demands of high-pressure work environments and what it’s like to feel pulled in different directions.

Fees: My weekly session fee ranges from £85 to £110 for a 50-minute therapy session, whether in-person or online. I offer a sliding scale pricing model, so you can choose a rate that fits your financial situation. Initial consultations are available within the same pricing model.
