I believe our ways of coping often make sense in the context of what we’ve lived through. Sometimes we seek therapy because life has become overwhelming after a difficult or unexpected experience. Other times, life may be very different from how it once was, yet we still find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, struggling in relationships or reacting in ways that no longer fit our present lives.
I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach, tailoring therapy to your individual needs rather than expecting one model to fit everyone. Alongside talking therapy, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and creative ways of working where they feel helpful.
Some people come to therapy looking for a space to reflect, while others want to deepen their understanding, be challenged or work more actively between sessions. Together, we’ll find an approach that feels right for you. My aim is to help you better understand yourself so that change feels meaningful and lasting, always working at a pace that feels safe, collaborative and respectful of where you are.
I am an integrative psychotherapist with over 17 years’ experience supporting teenagers, young adults and parents across education, counselling, mental health and psychotherapy. Alongside my private practice, I have worked in a variety of settings supporting people through life’s challenges, including neurodivergent individuals.
My work is informed by both professional training and lived experience. While many things can be understood through study, others are only truly understood through experience. I believe therapy offers a space where people can feel heard, understood and supported to make sense of their experiences with curiosity and compassion.
Alongside my clinical work, I remain committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice to ensure I continue to offer thoughtful, ethical and evidence-informed support.
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.
