My Approach

As an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist working in a trauma-informed way, I tailor therapy to you rather than following one fixed approach. Every person brings a unique history, set of relationships and way of experiencing the world, so our work together is shaped around your individual needs rather than fitting you into a particular model.

Alongside exploring what is happening in your life now, we will gently look at the deeper emotional patterns that may have developed over time as ways of adapting, surviving or protecting yourself. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and unhurried, therapeutic change often develops through a relationship in which you feel genuinely seen, understood and safe enough to explore difficult experiences.

While conversation is often at the heart of therapy, there are times when words alone do not fully capture what we carry. When it feels helpful, I may also draw on creative and reflective approaches such as imagery, dreams, creative expression or gentle awareness of the body. You do not need to be artistic or have any previous experience with these approaches; they simply offer another way of exploring experiences that can be difficult to express in words alone.

Therapy with me is not about being judged or fixed. It is a collaborative process of understanding yourself more deeply, recognising your strengths alongside your struggles, and developing new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more fulfilling and sustainable.

If you feel that my approach resonates with you, I invite you to get in touch for an initial conversation.

About Me

You may know your patterns well, yet still find yourself living them.

Perhaps you keep finding yourself in the same relationships, reacting in ways you don't fully understand, or feeling that you're never quite enough. You may have spent years trying to make sense of these experiences, yet they continue to shape how you relate to yourself and others. This can feel confusing, frustrating and, at times, deeply exhausting.

I work with adults who are exploring the impact of early relationships, difficult life experiences, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, identity and low self-worth. Many of the people I meet are thoughtful and self-aware. They often understand their difficulties intellectually but still feel caught in emotional patterns that seem difficult to change.

I believe therapy offers more than symptom relief. It provides a space to pause, understand the experiences that have shaped you, and begin relating to yourself with greater compassion and clarity. Together, we can explore what feels stuck, helping you move towards a way of living that feels more connected, authentic and grounded.

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.

The impact of emotional, physical, sexual or psychological abuse can continue long after the events themselves. It may affect your sense of safety, trust, self-worth and relationships with others. Therapy provides a compassionate and confidential space to process these experiences at your own pace, helping you understand their impact and gently rebuild a stronger relationship with yourself.
Anxiety can show up as persistent worry, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed or always anticipating that something might go wrong. It can affect your confidence, relationships and ability to feel present in everyday life. Together we can explore both the immediate challenges and the deeper emotional patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety.
Depression can feel like more than sadness. It may involve feeling emotionally numb, exhausted, hopeless or disconnected from yourself, other people or activities that once felt meaningful. Therapy offers a space to explore both your current experience and the deeper factors that may be contributing to these feelings, helping you reconnect with yourself and regain a sense of purpose and hope.
Relationships can bring connection and fulfilment, but they can also become a source of pain, conflict or confusion. You may notice recurring patterns, difficulties trusting others, fear of rejection, people-pleasing, or challenges with boundaries. Together we can explore how these patterns developed, understand how they continue to influence your relationships today, and support you in building healthier, more authentic ways of relating.
Trauma can affect us long after difficult experiences have ended. You may feel constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or find that certain situations trigger reactions you cannot fully explain. Together we can explore how these experiences continue to shape your life and work towards developing a greater sense of safety, connection and resilience.
