My Approach

My approach is integrative, drawing on relational, psychodynamic, and transpersonal perspectives. I am particularly interested in how our early relational experiences shape the ways we relate to ourselves and others later in life.

In my work with couples, I pay close attention to the shared relational field that develops between partners. Difficulties in relationships are rarely about one person alone. They often arise within patterns that develop between two people over time. Exploring these patterns together can open new possibilities for understanding, repair, and change.

Across all my work, I am interested in the meeting point between psychological insight, embodied awareness, and the deeper questions of meaning that can arise through therapy.

I aim to offer both thoughtful reflection and gentle challenge, helping clients develop greater awareness and freedom in how they live and relate.

About Me

I am a UK based psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. My work sits at the intersection of psychological depth and relational awareness, supporting clients to engage honestly with themselves and with those they love.

People often come to therapy when something in life feels painful, stuck, or uncertain. This may involve difficulties in relationships, periods of anxiety or low mood, questions about identity or direction, or the sense that old patterns are no longer serving them.

I offer a space where these experiences can be explored thoughtfully and at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy can provide the opportunity to step back from familiar patterns, deepen self understanding, and begin relating to yourself and others in new ways.

Special Interests

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.

Experiences of grief and loss can take many forms. This may include bereavement, the end of a relationship, changes in health or identity, or the quiet grief that can accompany life transitions. Periods of loss can also bring a quiet sense of loneliness, as familiar structures fall away and we find ourselves in uncertain territory. Therapy can offer a place where this experience can be met with presence and care. Grief is rarely a simple or linear process. It often involves letting go, acknowledging endings, and allowing space for what has been lost. At the same time, these periods of transition can gradually open the possibility for something new to emerge. Therapy can support this process by offering time, reflection, and a steady presence as you move through what is ending and towards what may begin to take shape.
My work with couples is grounded in the understanding that relationship is not simply about two individuals, but about the relational field that develops between them. Over time, patterns of communication, protection, and longing can become embedded within this shared space, often outside of conscious awareness. In therapy we explore these relational patterns together. Rather than focusing on blame or who is right or wrong, we begin to understand how each partner participates in the dynamic that has formed between them. My work is also informed by a transpersonal perspective, recognising that intimate relationship can become a powerful place of growth, reflection, and transformation. When partners are able to turn towards these patterns with curiosity rather than defensiveness, new possibilities for connection and understanding can emerge.
