My Approach

I believe that happiness comes from having great energy and great relationships.

As a relational psychotherapist I work with individuals to offer a calm and safe space for people to talk about and unpick their worries and concerns, without judgment or blame.

Relationships are at the forefront of my practice, and I support people to better understand themselves and each other, to understand the patterns within their lives and relationships, and develop opportunities to create the changes that they are looking for.

I support people to build their own strengths and resilience.

If you contact me, please be assured that I will answer any questions you have about therapy with kindness and compassion.

N/B - I aim to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours. If you haven't heard back from me within this time frame, please do check you 'spam' folder.

About Me

I work exclusively online using Zoom, and offer most of my appointments in the evenings, early mornings or weekends in order to fit around my clients work and family commitments.

I originally started work as a CBT therapist in the NHS and forensic mental health services. Since then, I have gained nearly 20 years experience and have completed advanced training in TA psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling.

This means that I use a variety of methods to work with a client to support them in getting to where they want to be. Some methods are more practical in nature like challenging specific thoughts or changing an undesirable behaviour, and others are routed in understanding and increasing awareness of the origin of patterns of thinking or behaviour.

While I do use some very specific techniques, building a trusting, honest and authentic relationship underpins all of my connections with clients.

This creates a real sense of safety in each and every session, allowing clients to explore whatever they need to, no matter how difficult, knowing that they will be held and safe throughout the process from start to finish.
