I work with children, teenagers, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and big life changes. As an integrative counsellor, my approach is trauma-informed and relational. Simply put, I draw on different counselling approaches to build a safe space that centres each client’s needs. Working with me is collaborative: we explore what sits beneath the worries and focus on practical steps that genuinely help in everyday life.

I offer therapy in a safe environment, providing confidential, non-judgemental support to help you explore the difficulties that have led you to seek help. I strive to build a supportive and trusting relationship through listening and talking, to work through issues that may be upsetting you, such as relationship problems, loss, anxiety, depression, shame, trauma, addictions or low self-esteem. We will explore these problems together and find ways to manage feelings that may overwhelm you, challenge self defeating behaviour, identify goals and increase motivation to change, through sessions tailor made to meet your needs.

I use a combination of psychodynamic, attachment-based and Jungian approaches to help individuals think about their relationships. Relationships can be the place where we feel the most creative and alive but they can also leave us vulnerable to abandonment, unhealthy dependancy, feelings of impotence and despair. If you are struggling with intimate relationships, it feels difficult to find a partner, a recent break-up is keeping you hostage or your relationships are following the same pattern, it might be crucial to explore what might be going on underneath the surface.

I have experience working with clients facing depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and other mental health concerns. A significant part of my work focuses on supporting those navigating loss, grief, and issues with self-esteem, confidence, and balance in life. Loss can take many forms, whether it’s the passing of a loved one, a major life transition, or a sense of disconnect from yourself. You may be coping with a specific loss or simply feeling that life is out of balance. Counseling offers a safe space to process these feelings and find a way forward.

I offer a calm and accepting presence, and I believe in the value of reconnecting to yourself and someone else: having the time and someone supportive to talk things through with could help you reduce overwhelm, find perspective, and develop your self-acceptance and confidence.

At times, life can feel confusing, heavy, or overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, addiction, or self-esteem, or feeling unsure in your relationships or work. You might be navigating change, searching for balance, or wanting to feel more connected to yourself and your life. Even when everything looks fine from the outside, something inside may still not feel quite right. I offer a supportive and accepting space where you can explore what matters to you, in your own time and in your own way.

I am an experienced relationship therapist, supporting a wide range of couples and individuals to address their challenges and repair, grow and thrive. My core psychodynamic approach helps us understand patterns of behaviour based on past experiences and relationships. This unlocks valuable insight into why your interactions might feel repetitive or ‘stuck’, leading to greater understanding and empathy. I also use active strategies in the here-and-now to resolve conflict and improve communication. We will consider pre-existing strengths and resilience in your relationship, and use these to help you move forwards more positively.

Has it become confused by social expectations, stifled by inner critics, or bypassed by survival-mode thinking? However remote it might seem to you now, your Actualising Tendency is always there, ready to resume its central guiding role in your life. If this rings true and you're looking for therapy that will restore and support your own authentic curiosity, awareness, insight and creativity, we might be a good match.

If you are feeling disconnected and undermined by anxiety or distress, you are wise to be considering therapy. There is solid evidence that psychological treatment can help people move on when their own efforts are not enough. Psychotherapy is confidential, safe, and caring. As a clinical psychologist, I have been trained to work collaboratively with my clients to develop a shared way of thinking about their problems and how they can move forward. My practice is integrative, eclectic and client focused: no one therapy suits every person or every issue.
