My Approach

I am a relational psychotherapist who works integratively, drawing on different therapeutic theories as appropriate for you as an individual. Working relationally, I believe that what happens between us can reflect your relationships in the wider world. It may be useful to think about your life history and early years, especially in thinking about how patterns from your past may be replicating in your present. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is co-created with us each bringing our individual experiences to meet in the shared therapeutic space. This relational way of working is supported by an embodied approach, so that I track my own feelings and bodily sensations while also inviting you to bring attention to yours. The body holds a wealth of information that I believe we can become conditioned to override or ignore. Gently bringing attention back to our bodies can support our emotional wellbeing. For me, existential thinking can help us to make sense of our place in a world that can feel overwhelming and absurd as we navigate the anxieties and uncertainties that are a fundamental part of life.

About Me

I believe therapy can help you to navigate periods of difficulty in your life including times when you may feel low, stuck or just not quite like yourself. I offer a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where we can think together. Having the opportunity to think about your experiences in a therapeutic setting can support you to develop increased self-awareness and positively impact your experience of being in the world. I believe everyone can benefit from the support of therapy at different stages in life.

I trained at the Minster Centre, one of the UK’s leading training institutes, and have an MA and Advanced Diploma in integrative counselling and psychotherapy. I am a registered member of both BACP and UKCP and am guided by their ethical principles, values and good practice standards. This includes having regular supervision and undertaking ongoing additional professional training.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients, including within a leading mental health charity. As a white, British, heterosexual, able-bodied cis, female I am aware of the privilege my identity affords me as I move through the world. Differences in identity, especially for those with multiple intersections, can feel challenging, complicated and nuanced. I welcome working with those from all cultural identities and strive to offer a holding and safe space for exploration.
