My Approach

Saying things out loud can be a relief. When we talk, you'll notice how much lighter you feel to share what is on your mind and have someone reflect and witness that experience with compassion. Every therapeutic relationship is unique, but my clients often tell me they feel heard, empowered more able to face life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with personal difficulties, work challenges, or a sense of stuckness therapy with me provides time and space to unpack your situations and emotions and move toward lasting change.

HOW I WORK
'''''''''''''''''''''''
I tailor therapy to your individual needs, but some things remain constant:

🟢 You’ll gain insight into your thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours—both helpful and unhelpful.

🟢 With two minds working together, we’ll untangle old patterns and move toward self-compassion.

🟢 Things that feel hard to say in everyday life are welcome here—we’ll work through them together, gaining new perspectives.

ABOUT ME
'''''''''''''''''''''''
My background spans FTSE 100's, small biotech's and the arts giving me a deep understanding of workplace dynamics and the broader influences of work, gender, culture, family dynamics, and society. I have a special interest gender politics and how these inform the lives of men, women and non-binary individuals. I also work with ADHD - particularly supporting those who live with, love or work alongside neurodivergent people.

If you are feeling weighed down by emotional challenges, therapy offers an invaluable time and space to unpack and grapple with these difficulties. When you feel deeply listened to you can explore your experiences more freely, leading to real change, greater balance and a more meaningful life.

Areas of Expertise
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

* Private Practice working with individuals, couples, and groups
* Workplace services with individuals, groups and conflict situations
* Individuals who are the main wage earners and can't shake off a nagging feeling that something is not working well

The Positive Impact of Therapy
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
My personal and professional experiences have have shown me how transformative relationships and the therapeutic relationship can be. Coaching and therapy enable you to be and live fully in the present, enhancing your daily wellbeing and fostering deeper connections with yourself and others. This makes for a more manageable and meaningful life.

About Me

I previously worked in a corporate environment and although organisations are unique places one truth persists. Whatever we have learned about relationships is enacted within work, friendships, family and partnerships. At different stages of life our ability to be at peace with ourselves and others can get derailed when we become stuck in unhelpful patterns. In work I worked with people to support them in understanding themselves in the 'here and now' to know and understand themselves and their patterns. As a psychotherapist I have been able to deepen my own work to find new and creative ways of resolving the relational problems and dead ends you experience, or to begin to live more harmoniously with them.
