I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist who has worked for 10+ years across various settings. I have a warm, engaging and down-to-earth approach and prioritise a safe and inclusive space. I value the therapeutic relationship to provide a trusted and reflective space for individuals to adjust to life challenges, to become comfortable with who they are and to support the development of a rich and meaningful life. This involves not just ‘talk therapy’, but treating the whole person including the mind-body connection and exploring how wider context impacts them.

I am committed to my clients' well-being, I create a safe, empathetic space, my approach integrates strength-based and trauma-informed therapies, emphasising your strengths to foster empowerment. My goal is to guide clients towards discovering their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering a sense of empowerment and overcoming challenges. If you're looking for a dedicated partner on your journey towards well-being, I'm here to help let's work together towards your well-being.

Play based parent child sessions can be really impactful way of helping you connect with your child to work through inner feelings, and process what might be challenging in your relationship. It is often really tough for children to express what's going on for them using words, and this is often why they find ways to communicate with us through their behaviour. This can be a little scary and overwhelming for us as caregivers, who may just be needing things to become a little easier at home. I work collaboratively and authentically with you and your child through the safety of play, where I draw on your wisdom, love, and knowledge.
