My Approach

For me, the most important part of therapy is to create a trusting relationship. This is the foundation of good psychotherapy and the basis from which we can work together to create the changes you need.

I am a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist, and my client work has covered a variety of challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, neurodiversity and gender identity.

I use a range of approaches to support clients in finding resolution. This can be for example, updating negative beliefs you might hold about yourself, understanding difficult dynamics in a relationship, challenging the impact of trauma or finding ways to create stronger internal regulation when feeling depressed or anxious.

It is important to find the right therapist; I therefore offer a free, 30-minute, initial consultation to enable you to assess whether you feel we could work together and whether my approach is suitable for you. If you would like any further information or wish to arrange an initial session please feel free to contact me via phone or email.

About Me

I am an experienced Psychotherapist who believes in providing a warm, non-judgemental and secure environment in which a trusting relationship between client and counsellor can be built. Together, we will identify your needs and work towards finding positive solutions.

I have been in private practice for over ten years now, working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds with a variety of presenting issues. I have a master’s degree in TA Psychotherapy, and I have over four years’ experience of teaching counselling.

I attend regular training workshops and courses as part of my continued professional development, and I have a particular interest in the many different types of trauma clients experience and the impact this has on their lives including relationship challenges, issues with identity and self-worth and problems with anxiety and depression.

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.

When working with anxiety, my aim is to help you to understand what is causing your anxiety and to address these issues alongside increasing your ability to feel more regulated and able to cope in day to day life
My aim, when working with depression, is for us to discover the underlying issues causing your depression and challenge these. It is also to find ways of reconnecting you to life so you are able to cope and find life meaningful again
Identity challenges can cover many areas, whether it is gender identity, a loss of identity as you move through life or a more general sense of not knowing who you are or what you want from life. My aim is to help you to explore what is important to you, what connects you to yourself and life and to strengthen your sense of identity and confidence as a result
Whichever relationship you might be struggling with, my aim is to help you to understand the underlying dynamics of that relationship and how these manifest in day to day life. We would then work together to challenge or change these dynamics to create healthier relationships
I have had a lot of experience working with trauma. My aim is to enable you to understand how past traumas are impacting on your day to day life, to strengthen your ability to stay regulated and cope and also to process the trauma reducing its negative effects on you
