Sometimes life can present difficult challenges. When that happens it's easy to feel confused, lonely, stuck and perhaps even judged. I can help you by providing a space for realisation, processing trauma and finding greater inner peace and freedom to live the life you wish for. I believe that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Having self compassion and being at peace with one’s self can be difficult to practice. I want to bring you hope and support you in becoming your own best friend.

Anxiety, depression, stress, conflict. We all hear these words but when they are your story it's much more than words, it's your life. If you invest in yourself you can learn to stop being controlled, feel you're making your own decisions and improve your relationship, career or state of mind. My clients show courage in reflecting on their lives and I've yet to work with any individual or couple who have regretted taking this step. Now we're in this extreme new way of living we may need to address issues we've previously avoided. This could be that opportunity.

My counselling practice is grounded in an integrative and flexible approach that places the young person's needs at the centre of the therapeutic process. Different approaches can offer valuable tools at different stages of a client’s journey. For example, CBT techniques can help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, while trauma-informed work is essential for the safe exploration and processing of difficult past experiences. Alongside, my person-centred foundation ensures that clients feel heard, respected, and emotionally held within the therapeutic space.

In my Central Oxford practice I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, rather than be guided by expectations and pleasing others. I also work with people who have experienced trauma, including with a PTSD diagnosis, helping them to process the trauma and reduce unwanted symptoms. I help couples to reset their relationships to a healthier state, to hear and understand each other and to make joint decisions about the future of their relationship and their family system.

Exploring the possibility of counselling/psychotherapy is a courageous step, one which can enable you to become more fully yourself. Therapy should be a place where you can feel safe and accepted, where you find it easier to share things that are concerning you. It can be a place where you come to find out more about yourself, to challenge yourself and make choices and decisions that lead towards a more positive and hopeful future. Sometimes there is something from our past, an event or an aspect of ourselves, that seems to be holding us back, and therapy can support us in addressing those things too.

Opening up to someone you do not know about personal issues can be challenging. When these matters make us feel vulnerable, it is often tempting to keep them to ourselves, until they inevitably resurface.
If you recognise yourself in this scenario, rest assured that you are not alone. Many people struggle with problems such as anxiety, depression, abuse, addiction, loss, grief, bereavement, or feelings of inadequacy and failure. These issues can be overwhelming and affect anyone.
There is no need to remain stuck in these patterns. We are here to help you begin to address these challenges and develop a plan to help you move forward.

You may be feeling out of touch with yourself, as though you’re always putting on a front or staying on high alert just to get through the day. On the outside, you might seem like you’re coping well and keeping everything together, but inside there’s a sense of exhaustion and being overwhelmed. It may even be difficult to recall the last time you felt genuinely relaxed or able to enjoy things. If you’re looking for a space where you can begin to understand these experiences more deeply, you’re welcome here.

Life may look “fine” on the outside, yet inside it feels different, not quite the feeling that it should be. You may feel weighed down, sinking into depression, emptiness, or even anxiety that may seem to come from nowhere. There is something you can't quite talk to people about. You might enjoy spending time with people, but still feel isolated and can't quite be fully yourself. What you really want is to feel lighter, relaxed, and happy—to have a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling. You want to wake up with hope and happiness, feel more present in your relationships, and have a happy life.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
