I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, a HCPC-registered Arts Therapist, working in the NHS alongside my private practice. I offer a warm, supportive space where people feel heard, respected, and understood. I work creatively and flexibly, which can be especially helpful when feelings are hard to put into words. Using creative approaches alongside talking therapy can open up new ways of understanding experiences and emotions. My approach is client-centred and non-judgmental, grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard. I view difficulties not as personal flaws, but as signs of blocked growth and internal conflicts

I began my professional journey as a Public Health doctor, where I developed a deep appreciation for the complex ways in which physical, emotional and social factors shape our wellbeing. Alongside this work, my own life experiences led me to seek counselling during a particularly challenging period. I realised that counselling is not simply a place to “fix” problems. It is a powerful space to pause, reflect and make sense of what has been painful or confusing. I found myself drawn to training as a counsellor to support healing and help reframe long-held patterns, and restore a sense of meaning and purpose for my clients.

I want to be upfront with you: therapy isn’t always easy, and it’s not always comfortable. We might dive into some difficult, personal issues that feel painful or unresolved. This can be unsettling at times, but that’s often where the real transformation happens. It’s in those moments of discomfort, when we face what’s tough to confront, that we start to break through old barriers and make space for new possibilities. In doing so, you can begin to feel more in control of your story, your choices, and your growth. This work may be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to reclaim your voice and discover oneself.
