Most clients contact us with surface negative symptoms or challenges. Every client is totally unique, therefore our truly one-off, made-to-measure approach is needed and always provided. Most clients help us to slowly identify the real current trigger(s), creating the negative presenting symptoms or challenges. Finally, our last step in helping you gain a positive, confident and happier future, is to discover your deepest root causes, which created the very first trigger(s). To put it simply, our driving force from day one is to help you quickly ensure you gain much improved: thinking, feeling and behaviour.

You may be struggling with desire, sexual confidence, intimacy, or repeating relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected or unsure of yourself.

My role, as a psychodynamic therapist, is to provide an environment that is confidential and safe. This is why I do what I do. I provide an outside perspective to help you understand how your past influences present behaviours; your use of defences to avoid reality and awareness of how unconscious reoccurrence operates in your life. With your assistance my aim is to develop different strategies in making better choices to existing problems and explore beliefs of past feelings, memories. This doesn’t mean all your life is broken, but certain grey areas compromising the relationships you’re having with self and others.

Ever feel like you're just about keeping it together — stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in a way that's hard to put into words? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own. I work with adults feeling anxious, low, or stuck — especially during big life changes like early parenthood or those seasons of life where everything shifts at once. A lot of the people I work with are trying to do things a bit differently — to understand themselves better, break cycles that have been passed down through generations, and find healthier ways of coping and relating.

It can sometimes seem worrying to share your deepest, most personal thoughts and feelings. I'm here to offer a warm, welcoming and confidential therapeutic space to individuals and couples, where you will have your time to talk and where hopefully we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship, one in which you can feel comfortable to share your worries and thoughts. Every client and every therapeutic process is different and I will always value you as a unique individual, with the utmost respect for the journey you have navigated and the place you find yourself in now. I also work with Aviva or Bupa health insurance clients.

Have you ever felt like people just didn’t get you — maybe because you’re LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or you’ve experienced CEN, bullying or abuse? It can be really isolating, and it makes sense if that’s left you feeling anxious, low, or just totally overwhelmed. I often work with people living with the long-term impacts of neglect, domestic abuse, or trauma — including those still finding their way out. I am experienced in supporting survivors of many forms of abuse, including spiritual abuse, coercive control, complex trauma, and dissociation, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I also welcome their allies for support.
