My Approach

My work is grounded in a systemic approach, recognising that our experiences are shaped by the relationships we have with ourselves, with others and within the wider systems in which we live. Alongside systemic psychotherapy, I draw on person-centred, narrative, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused and coaching approaches, tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs.

I have a particular interest in exploring relationships, family dynamics and neurodiversity, helping people gain greater understanding of themselves and those around them, and supporting meaningful and lasting change.

About Me

I have more than 20 years’ experience supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My professional background includes many years working within specialist hospice and palliative care services, supporting people living with serious illness, their families and carers, and those who are bereaved.

I am an accredited UKCP Systemic Psychotherapist, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and a trained supervisor (Cascade). My practice has evolved to encompass a broad range of issues, with particular interests in relationships, neurodiversity, family dynamics, life transitions, and the impact these can have on emotional wellbeing.

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.

Alongside my broader systemic practice, I have extensive experience of supporting people living with serious illness, those caring for loved ones, and individuals who are bereaved. Having worked for many years within specialist palliative and hospice care, I understand the emotional, relational and practical challenges that can accompany life-limiting illness, anticipatory grief and loss. Serious illness often affects not only the individual but also partners, families and wider support networks. Using a systemic approach, I offer a compassionate space to explore the impact of illness on relationships, identity and family life. I also work with people who are adjusting to life after bereavement, helping them make sense of their experiences and find ways of moving forward while continuing to honour the person they have lost.
I have a particular interest in working systemically online and have many years’ experience of supporting people remotely. Online therapy can offer a flexible and accessible way of working without compromising the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I have found that meeting people within their own environments can often enrich systemic conversations, providing valuable insights into family life, relationships and everyday experiences. Whether working with individuals or multiple family members in different locations, I strive to create a safe, collaborative and engaging therapeutic space where meaningful change can take place.
Relationships are central to our emotional wellbeing, yet they can also be one of the greatest sources of distress. Difficulties with partners, family members, adult children, parents, friends or colleagues can leave us feeling confused, hurt, isolated or stuck. Using a systemic approach, I help people explore the patterns, beliefs and experiences that influence the way they relate to others. Whether you are navigating conflict, communication difficulties, separation, rebuilding trust, caring responsibilities, family tensions or significant life changes, therapy provides a safe space to understand what is happening and discover new ways of moving forward. I also have a particular interest in supporting individuals where neurodiversity forms part of the relationship dynamic, helping people develop greater understanding, compassion and more effective ways of connecting with one another.
