Many of the people I work with are high‑functioning adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma or identity pressures. They often feel overwhelmed, pulled between responsibilities and their own needs, or caught in patterns shaped by family, culture or past experiences. They’re thoughtful, resilient and aware that something deeper needs attention. Therapy supports them to feel more grounded, break old cycles, improve relationships and reconnect with a clearer sense of self.

My practice primarily serves adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed by a wide range of mental health challenges, though I specialize deeply in helping people navigate trauma. Often, clients come to me because they are living with the constant high alert of PTSD or complex trauma (cPTSD) - frequently stemming from childhood experiences. They might be struggling with intrusive memories, severe anxiety, or a feeling of disconnect from daily life. I work collaboratively with individuals to break these exhausting cycles, providing a clear, grounded path to help them safely process what happened and move forward with their lives.

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping. With 20 years’ experience in mental health and specialist post-qualification training, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy (CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR) to target underlying patterns and help you move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and lasting change.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and a Doctor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy candidate at the University of Exeter. With over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS (CAMHS) and private practice, I offer a sophisticated, relational approach to healing. My work is grounded in the belief that our present struggles—be they anxiety or relationship patterns—are often shaped by unconscious scripts. By decoding these deeper patterns, I help you find a sense of agency and lasting change. While my background includes social work and art therapy, my focus remains on the transformative power of the psychoanalytic relationship.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.
