As a UKCP accredited and BACP Registered integrative therapist, I work with a wide range of issues. If you’re feeling disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns, I’m here to help you find your way back to your centre of gravity. Clients often choose me when they want to work deeply on challenging relationships, anxiety, trauma or burnout. I come from a North East working class family blighted by anxiety and intergenerational trauma. This led to my own therapy journey and to leaving my 17-year senior corporate career to retrain as the therapist I had needed in those times.

While there are many different approaches to psychotherapy and counselling, I work principally within the psychoanalytic tradition, a key part of which is to work in collaboration with clients to try to understand the unconscious origins of difficulties affecting our lives in the present. The aim is not to give advice, but rather to support people who have reached a point in their lives where they feel themselves to be facing difficult, sometimes confusing feelings and states of mind, to offer a reliable place to come and be listened to, without fear of being judged, criticised or told what to do.

Over the past year, I’ve specialised in CBT for eating disorders, supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns around food, shape, and weight, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves.
My ideal client feels overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or struggles around food and body image. They often criticise themselves, feel not good enough, or stuck in exhausting cycles they don’t fully understand. They want clarity, tools to manage emotions, and a more balanced relationship with themselves. Most of all, they want to feel more in control, more present, and like themselves again.

My experience includes working with complex trauma, personality disorders, anger, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression.
Change, while necessary for growth, can feel threatening. It often comes with a price—whether it's letting go of old defenses, facing difficult emotions, or confronting the unknown. I help clients explore these struggles, making change feel possible and, ultimately, more rewarding than the cost of staying the same.

I have held senior roles including Clinical Director of an Eating Disorders service and offer weekly therapy as well as structured trauma work and private intensives for deeper therapeutic engagement.
You may look successful, capable and in control from the outside, yet privately struggle with intimacy, sexuality or relationship patterns that feel confusing or difficult to change. Perhaps you find yourself caught in cycles of compulsive sexual behaviour, sexual anxiety, shame, painful intimacy, erectile difficulties, changes in desire, or relationships that repeatedly leave you feeling disconnected or alone. Often these difficulties are rarely isolated issues. They are shaped by biological factors, psychological history, attachment patterns, cultural context, and lived experience.

You may be seeking counselling or psychotherapy for any number of reasons. Perhaps something specific has happened to you that you would like to talk about. Perhaps you don't really know what is wrong, but you are aware of feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stressed and feel you would like some support in working through and exploring what might be informing those feelings. In both, and all cases, my approach as a Psychotherapist is to work in a way which provides a safe, empathetic and confidential space, where you and I can together, explore what has brought you to therapy, and help you get back on track.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counselling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioural disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behaviour, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognise they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
