Get help for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma (PTSD), and Eating Disorders. Extensive experience of working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. Support with navigating life with chronic illness and grief. I’m a Counselling Psychologist working in Cambridge. My style is direct, honest, and curious. Together with my clients, I think about what keeps them stuck and how to achieve a better quality of life. I see therapy as a process where we do meaningful (sometimes uncomfortable) work that leads to change.
I draw mainly on: Psychodynamic therapy to understand recurring patterns and relationships; CBT for practical strategies; Existential–relational therapy (Yalom-informed) to explore agency, uncertainty, and loss. Differences matter. I invite open exploration of how culture, race, gender, age, faith, neurodivergence, and disability shape your experience.
Therapy is a significant commitment. It requires hard work, time, and financial investment. Still, in my work with clients, and through my own experience of therapy, I have seen how powerful it can be in supporting personal and professional growth and in improving our relationships with others and with ourselves. Reach out to discuss how therapy may help.

In our first session, we'll explore what has brought you to therapy and think together about the most helpful approach. I may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work practically with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, or a psychodynamic approach to explore how past relationships and experiences may be affecting you in the present. We will always discuss together what feels most suitable for you
