Art journaling, Pilates and dog walking help me stay anchored.
I work with clients who struggle with a range of issues from relationship challenges to historical sexual abuse. I work with you at your pace in a supportive, non-directive way. I won't ever tell you what to do as I trust that you can come to your own answers with the right support. You may be seeking clarity about a challenging decision to be made or you might want to explore what is blocking you from reaching your potential. It might be that you are lacking in confidence generally and you'd like to get to know who you are and start to believe in yourself. Perhaps you lost your way and you are experiencing an existential crisis.

Our sessions are led by you at your pace, although I’ll gently encourage you to explore the tougher stuff together in our sessions.

Having grown up in a high-conflict environment, I understand firsthand the desire for better communication and connection without constant arguments.

Your child's anxiety is taking over their day and your family's day? Are you finding yourself not knowing how to help your teen's depression when they are struggling to function? You are getting easily frustrated and overwhelmed as a parent. Your child or teen's mental health is spiralling and you are all feeling lost. You just want to understand and support your child and have the tools and insight to calm them down, get them out of bed, have harmony at home with connection and communication, utilise coping skills, and see your child confident and happy to tackle their challenges and for you to be a calmer and empowered parent.

Psychotherapist, MA, HCPC-Music Therap.

I work creatively and holistically, incorporating elements of music therapy, art therapy and talking therapy.
I have experience of working closely with people with enduring and complex mental health difficulties, suicidal ideation, troubling relational patterns and people recovering from grief and loss. I use music as a tool to facilitate the building of the therapeutic relationship, and listening, songwriting, lyric analysis and composing can all be incredibly accessible ways of starting to explore what is troubling you. Equally, sometimes we may spend most sessions talking. Clients do not need to have any prior musical experience, and I am very happy working with children, young people and adults.
