I work with clients aged 16 and above, on a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood/depression, self-esteem and stress. My approach is integrative, which allows me to tailor my approach to the individual client, taking into account their identity, values, beliefs, and situation in life.
Some people are simply looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to work through their feelings and experiences, while others are hoping to makes changes in their lives. I am skilled and experienced with both approaches, and work collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their stated goals.

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only to reduce anxiety or low mood, but to make sense of who they are, their relationships, and how they want to live.
Often, this includes people who are already quite reflective, but find that thinking alone hasn’t led to the clarity or change they’re looking for. There may be a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled, or unsure of direction, even when things appear to be functioning on the surface.

Anxious?
Depressed?
Drinking too much?
Over using recreational drugs?
Relationships suffering?
I use a hypno-psychotherapeutic approach to help you safely & supportively recreate unwanted, feared scenarios, such as the above, before re-stepping into them but this time forewarned and forearmed.
I am Integratively trained so this means I have trained in many modalities so I can get you to where you really want to be not where you habitually return to as if it's an inevitability you can do nothing about.
You can & I'll show you how. Never mind the why it's about the how.
It's about what you want, NOT what you don't!

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist and I draw on a broad range of models in my therapeutic work including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment-based therapies and more holistic approaches that look at how to support the nervous system.
My main focus is always on creating a safe therapeutic relationship where we can think creatively together about the difficulties you might be facing. I particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent young people and adults, exploring together how they experience the world. I work predominantly from a trauma-informed perspective and a lot of my work with neurodivergent families focusses on the parent-child relationship.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and have worked in mental health since 2016, providing support within both the NHS and third-sector organisations. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental to creating lasting change. My approach is to offer a warm, empathetic space where clients can explore their concerns in a non-judgmental environment. I view therapy as a means of helping individuals achieve greater self-acceptance, improve relationships with others, and overcome destructive behavioural patterns, ultimately leading to more fulfilling lives.
