My Approach

My Approach
I bring a holistic and integrative approach to my work, tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs of each client. Drawing from my extensive training in psychotherapy, coaching, and relationship psychology, I combine evidence-based methods with a deeper exploration of self-awareness and presence. My practice blends:
• ICF Transformative Coaching: A strategic and goal-oriented approach for clients seeking structure, routine, and work-related insight, particularly beneficial for entrepreneurs and professionals.
• Non-verbal Communication and Somatic Awareness: Understanding the body’s signals—both subconscious and conscious and how they inform our behaviours, relationships, and emotional patterns.
• Consciousness Studies: Helping clients develop greater self-awareness, grounding, and presence to navigate life with clarity and authenticity.
• Relationship Psychology: Supporting individuals and couples to better understand their relationships—with partners, family, and work offering tools to improve connection and communication.

As a transpersonal psychotherapist, I integrate mindfulness, visualisation, and creative methods for those seeking deeper, transformational work. My approach is empathetic and compassionate, yet I also challenge clients to uncover blind spots and create the change they desire.

Who I Work With

I work with adults 18+, couples, and groups facing challenges such as:
• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and low mood
• Trauma and PTSD (including EMDR therapy)
• Relationship challenges (including couples therapy)
• Work-related stress and career transitions
• Grief and loss
• Self-doubt and imposter syndrome
• Identity and life transitions

Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional difficulties, looking to navigate a career or entrepreneurial challenge, or wanting to explore deeper self-awareness, I provide a tailored approach to meet you where you are.

Specialised Techniques and Training

I draw on a range of therapeutic and coaching techniques to support growth and transformation:
• EMDR Therapy: A powerful, evidence-based approach for resolving trauma and emotional blocks.
• Somatic Therapy: Helping clients understand the body’s role in processing emotions and developing resilience.
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Evidence-based tools for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thought patterns.
• Mindfulness and Presence Practices: Grounding techniques to bring clarity and awareness to how you navigate the world.
• Relationship and Communication Skills: Tools for improving dynamics in marriages, families, and work relationships.
• Transformational Coaching: Strategic support for professionals and entrepreneurs seeking balance, structure, and actionable steps toward their goals.

Final Words

I am here to support you on your journey of self-discovery and change, whether you’re looking for relief from emotional difficulties, tools to navigate relationships, or strategies to achieve your goals. Together, we will uncover what’s holding you back, create balance in your life, and help you move forward with confidence and purpose.

About Me

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, work anxiety, relationship challenges, family issues, trauma, or grief? It’s not easy to sit with these thoughts and feelings alone, and it may help to have a safe, supportive space to check in, offload, and process what’s going on for you right now.

As an experienced UKCP and MBACP psychotherapist, I meet you where you are, working in ways that feel comfortable, supportive, and safe. The therapeutic relationship is central to the work we do together, and I prioritise creating a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can feel free to express yourself.

I understand that taking the step to seek help can feel daunting. It takes courage to talk about things you may have never shared before. That’s why I work with intuition and emotional intelligence, adapting to your unique needs and ensuring the process feels as comfortable and empowering as possible. Together, we can work towards greater clarity, healing, and growth.

With over 10 years of experience, I specialise in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I also work with professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives and performing artists seeking a balance between personal fulfilment and career demands. I create a safe, compassionate space for clients to explore themselves, process presenting issues, uncover blind spots, reframe limiting beliefs and make meaningful changes to live happier, healthier lives.
