My Approach

I listen to you, take you seriously and see you as unique. My aim is to create a comfortable and safe environment where any topic can be explored in a way that suits you and feels manageable. I will meet you where you are and as you are.

I am warm, curious and non-pathologising, and I hope you will find me open, accepting and non-judgemental. We will have a conversation about your life and what is happening, how you make sense of things and how you want to live.

The basis of my training is existential-phenomenological psychotherapy, and my work is relational and integrative. I have trained in and draw on a broad range of therapeutic approaches where helpful, including compassion- and mindfulness-based approaches, ecotherapy and ACT. I am also trained in EMDR and offer EMDR sessions.

We will work collaboratively to decide which ways of working are most useful to you. The work can be flexible and may evolve over time, and I will encourage you to integrate the insights you gain in therapy into how you live your life.

About Me

Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore your life, make sense of where you are and what is possible, and make choices about how you want to live. Therapy can also be about addressing trauma, distress or experiences that continue to hold you back. It can provide a space for those experiences to be spoken about and witnessed, and to begin to find a way forward. Therapy can also help you develop greater self-awareness and a different relationship with yourself, with other people and with the world around you.

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist. Alongside my private practice, I have worked in the NHS since 2019 and currently work as a Principal Counselling Psychologist in community mental health teams, where I work with people experiencing complex and longstanding forms of distress. I am completing a preceptorship in this role while I am in the final stages of completing my doctorate in counselling psychology.
