My Approach

I aim to create a relaxed, conversational and collaborative space- hoping to ignite curiosity, reflection and solutions about your difficulty. There will be space for frustrations, tears, and good humour at times. Sessions will include gentle challenges using therapeutic techniques, which will help with making changes to your usual patterns and to find new ways of coping.
Longer term changes can often be at a slow place, but therapy can help set change into motion and support different stages of recovery.
I have been attracted to a relational approach of psychotherapy, inspired by Narrative & Brief Solution Focused methods. This is an integrated goal focused approach which works together with the client (and their significant others), to better understand the stories which we tell about ourselves - some of which can become stuck or no longer helpful to us. I will work creatively and with interest to understand these stories in liberating ways with you.

About Me

I initially studied Psychology (Bsc), followed by a Masters (Msc) in Cognitive Neuroscience. I have since trained at the Tavistock and Portman Hospital, London, to complete a second Masters in Systemic and Family Psychotherapy to help me offer advanced psychotherapies to couples and families. My focused research topics have included areas of Anxiety, Attention, Autism, Gender and sexuality. I have worked for the NHS and with mental health charities since 2011. I currently work for a NHS mental health service for schools. I am part of a small team who offer part-time private practice.

I moved to Norfolk 10 years ago to be closer to the coast, as I am happiest when I'm outdoors. I do miss the hills from up North though!
I enjoy music; exercise, sharing good food, and good times with friends and family. I have been lucky to visit some wonderful places in the world- but there is so much more on my to do list when the opportunity allows.
I am a mother and a wife.
