My practice is underpinned by a passion for creativity and my experience in performing arts. When things feel like they are falling apart, they might actually be falling into place, but it still feels like falling. Sharing your emotional pain by seeking support is empowering. I nurture an embodied experience - the idea that you are stepping into yourself and tapping into your inner resources. My work is fundamentally shame reducing, I aim to cultivate self-compassion. And as a Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation teacher, I encourage practicing letting go of what is out of our control and fostering courage to put in action for what is.
Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional
I tailor my approach to you and your needs; this allows me to work as a balanced, friendly, and professional therapist. I work with a very diverse client group from both private practice, ongoing charity work within Addiction and Codependency recovery and support well-being within the entertainment industry.
Where to start? Firstly, there will be a free 20/30min chat over the phone, so you see if I am the therapist for you. It is an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy and ask any questions you may have about how I work. Sessions are 50 mins. There are available concessions for those on Universal Credit and Students.

The body of my practice is based on Codependancy and working with Addicts who are in recovery from substance misuse. I will offer you a therapeutic framework informed by codependency and IFS that will facilitate a compassionate and eye on the past while practicing a supportive and empathetic awareness of the present, so you can nurture a sense of hope and wonder for your future.

We will work in a way that feels the most approachable and safe for you. We will only go as far as you want to go, we will be nourishing a connection with yourself. I have often found profound therapeutic work can be accessed and explored using images. Whether they are from your imagination, on a card, or something you have created - because sometimes there aren't words or words are not enough.
