About Me

About Me
Choosing a therapist can feel daunting. It’s also one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the therapeutic process, research consistently shows that the quality of the relationship is the single biggest predictor of meaningful change. I bring over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, but that alone won’t be enough if we don’t ‘click’. While I bring professional training and clinical experience, you are the expert on yourself.
People come to therapy for many reasons: grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, infertility, and feelings of stuckness or lack of fulfilment. While these experiences are not uncommon, they are never easy to talk about or simply ‘fix’. Sometimes short-term therapy is enough to address a specific issue. More often, therapy is a longer-term journey that takes time, patience, and courage. I usually meet clients weekly, although some find that twice-weekly sessions offer a greater sense of support and momentum.
My approach is integrative and relational, drawing on both psychodynamic and transpersonal influences. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy. Alongside my private practice, I’ve worked in NHS mental health services and with various charities.
I’m an experienced clinical supervisor and currently work as a training supervisor at training organisation, supporting student therapists as they navigate their development. I also deliver training sessions on topics such as neurodiversity, embodied practice, and difference and diversity in the therapeutic relationship.
I have a specialist interest in working with neurodivergent clients, particularly those with ADHD or autism and in supporting people navigating the emotional and psychological complexities of perimenopause. I bring both lived experience and professional understanding to this work, and I’m passionate about offering therapy that honours the uniqueness of each person’s nervous system, life stage, and story.
In addition to my integrative training, I’m also qualified in energy psychotherapy, which draws on the understanding that psychological distress often has an energetic as well as emotional and cognitive dimension. This approach integrates somatic awareness, subtle energy systems (such as meridians or chakras), and techniques like tapping (EFT), intention-based methods, or guided visualisation to help clear blocks that may not be accessible through words alone. Energy psychotherapy can be especially effective in trauma work, where verbal processing might be overwhelming or re-traumatising. NICE guidelines for PTSD acknowledge the evidence for body-oriented approaches, including techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), noting that such methods can be helpful when conventional therapies are not accessible or tolerated. For me, this modality complements more traditional approaches by working holistically with body, mind, and energy and honours the complexity and wisdom of the psyche.
