I specialise in psychodynamic psychotherapy, a therapeutic approach which involves collaborative work between the client and therapist. I create a safe, inclusive and neuro-affirming space where we can explore persistent issues or patterns of behaviour, including:
Relationship difficulties
Anger, anxiety and depression
Childhood trauma and abuse
Attachment issues and parenting
Identity and self-concept
Chronic illness
Misophonia (‘sound rage’)
Psychotherapy provides us with space for reflection on how our life history influences our current relationships with ourselves and others. I have lived experienced of neurodivergence and a particular interest in working with other neurodivergent people, as well as parents and parents-to-be.
I invite you to reach out for an initial phone consultation. During this conversation we will determine whether we would be a good fit for each other, and if so, when we might be able to take the next steps and meet for a session. Please email or text and we can arrange a suitable time to talk.

Groups
Circle of Security Parenting (CoSP)
Do you feel stuck in negative patterns with your child? Wish you could better understand their behaviour? The Circle of Security Parenting (CoSP) course helps us understand the role of attachment in the dynamics of the parent/child relationship, with an emphasis on "good enough" parenting. I facilitate small CoSP groups where parents are guided to support and learn from each other, reducing shame and creating space for genuine growth and connection, CoSP can profoundly transform our relationships with our children, our partners, our own parents - even ourselves.
