My Approach

I believe therapy is most effective when tailored to each person. My therapeutic style is integrative, and I adapt my approach according to peoples' needs and preferences.

I have trained and gained experience in many different therapeutic approaches and in my clinical work I will combine concepts drawn from a range of traditions, theories, and research, such as Transactional Analysis (TA); Mindfulness-based Approaches; Interpersonal Neurobiology; Polyvagal Theory; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Schema Therapy; and Psychoeducation.

The approaches I use are grounded in researched-based interventions and theories and are delivered with care and warmth, in an ethical and professional manner.

About Me

I am a down to earth and compassionate Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and young people across private, voluntary, and statutory mental health services including the NHS. Having worked across a breadth of mental health settings, I have gained extensive experience of helping people struggling with a wide range of social, emotional, and mental health issues.

I am passionate about delivering safe effective therapy which improves psychological health and builds resilience. I am ‘trauma-informed’ which means I am aware of the complex impact of trauma on a person’s distress and how it can shape their efforts to cope (e.g., using food, alcohol, overworking).

I am committed to professional excellence and life-long learning. I regularly participate in training, workshops, and other learning opportunities to advance my clinical skills and stay current with research and scientific advances in the field.

Problems I regularly help people with include anxiety; boundary issues; childhood trauma; codependency; communication; depression; eating distress; emotional regulation; low self-esteem; perfectionism; relationship difficulties; and stress.
