My Approach

Understanding isn't always enough to change how it feels.

So much of what we feel is held not only in our thoughts, but in the body. In a tight chest, a racing heart, or a sense of bracing for something that never quite arrives. My work brings the two together, combining talking therapy with approaches that help the body, as well as the mind, begin to settle.

Rather than following a single method, I shape our work around you. That might mean making sense of the past, untangling what's happening now, or noticing what shifts when we slow down and pay attention. Where it's helpful, I can also draw on clinical hypnotherapy.

Change doesn't always come from trying harder. Often it begins when we feel safe enough to stop.

About Me

I came to psychotherapy after more than twenty years in the entertainment industry, supporting creative professionals through demanding careers. It taught me how much people carry beneath the surface, and how much it matters to feel truly understood.

Today I'm a UKCP-registered, trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist, with additional training in clinical hypnotherapy. With me, you don't have to perform or have it all figured out. We work at a pace that feels right for you.

I see adults in person in Battersea and Putney, and online in the UK and internationally. I'm also a recognised provider with AXA Health, Aviva and WPA.

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.

For the restless mind, the racing thoughts at 3am, and the feeling of always being on alert. Anxiety often has its roots in experiences that once made it necessary. Together we can explore what's driving it, so that feeling calmer becomes something lasting rather than something you have to work at.
For patterns that keep repeating - being drawn to the same dynamics, losing yourself in other people's needs, or finding closeness hard to trust. We can look at where these ways of relating began and the role they once played, so you can choose differently now.
Trauma-informed therapy for single events and for complex trauma (C-PTSD). Safety and choice are at the centre of our work, and you're always in control of what we explore. The aim isn't to relive what happened, but to help you feel that it's truly in the past.
