My Approach

Understanding Yourself| Transforming patterns| Creating change in life and work.

Our experiences shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and navigate the world. Sometimes, patterns established much earlier in life continue to influence our relationships, emotional wellbeing, confidence and professional lives in ways we may not fully recognise.

I offer online psychotherapy and executive coaching for individuals who want to understand themselves more deeply, work through difficulties and explore new ways of living and working. My psychotherapeutic approach is relational, psychodynamic, integrative and humanistic. I work collaboratively with clients to explore emotional difficulties, relational patterns, self-esteem, life transitions, and the influence of earlier experiences on present-day functioning. I believe that meaningful change can emerge through a deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the experiences that have shaped us. The therapeutic relationship provides a space to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion and without judgement.

You may be seeking support with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or a sense of being stuck. You may be experiencing workplace stress, navigating a leadership role, or questioning familiar ways of responding to professional challenges.

I welcome enquiries from individuals seeking psychotherapy, coaching or an opportunity to explore the relationship between personal and professional lives.
Together we will explore the beliefs you hold about yourself and others, where these beliefs originated, what survival methods you may have cultivated unconsciously, which negative experiences keep repeating themselves, how you have developed a life script which forms the basis of your feelings, thoughts and beliefs.

If you would like to discuss working together, please get in touch to arrange an initial conversation. I offer an initial consultation, free of charge, to explore your needs and to see if we are a good fit to work together. Working at a deeper level requires commitment, so an initial consultation will be an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and for me to understand what you hope to get from the work, be it counselling, psychotherapy or an integrated approach.

I am a qualified, accredited and experienced Psychotherapist, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Executive Coach.

I hold an MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, an MSc in Executive Coaching, a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Diploma in Professional Coach-Mentoring.

  • Couples
  • Families
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

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.

I work online to enable access to counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to a wide range of clients across the UK. I find that this suits clients who, due to work or personal commitments, do not easily have access to in person meetings on a weekly basis. You may need to travel for your job, or you live in a remote area, or you work from home some days, or work flexible hours. You will need access to a safe and confidential space, whether at home or in the workplace. You will also need good internet connection, and a reliable laptop or desktop.
Relationships impact every aspect of our lives. We may be feeling the loss of a loved family member and trying to cope with bereavement. Or perhaps we are experiencing a separation, divorce, breakdown of a key relationship or struggling to keep a relationship together and to rebuild trust. Psychotherapy can help us to understand ourselves, to understand others, to recognise what we bring to each relationship, to explore whether we fall into repetitive patterns in relationship, and to develop our self-esteem and confidence to make relationship choices that enhance our lives.
After undertaking a Diploma in Professional Coach-Mentoring and an MSc in Executive Coaching, I worked as an internal workplace coach alongside my day job. I noticed how often problems presented as work related, had deeper roots. These included fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, feeling stuck, and imposter syndrome. They got in the way of clients achieving their full potential. This awareness led me to undertake the 5 year training to become a psychotherapist so that I could work at a deeper level with clients . During my training, as I gained experience through low-cost counselling services, my awareness deepened of how much human potential is wasted due to difficulties accessing support. After completing an MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, I offer psychotherapy, executive coaching, and, where agreed and appropriate, work in a way that integrates personal insight with professional development.
