I am an experienced couple and individual psychodynamic psychotherapist, with additional qualifications and training in systemic approaches to working with individuals, families and organisations. I trained at Tavistock and Portman Clinic and at Tavistock Relationships, a world-renowned institution and specialist in relationship therapy. My aim is to help individuals and couples better understand themselves and their relationships, so they can have more supportive and fulfilling relationships. With therapy, both the couple and the individual can gain insight and grow – emerging strengthened by the experience.

It may be you find yourself feeling anxious or depressed, experienced a grief or loss of a relationship. You may be struggling with something that has come up in your personal life or find yourself still affected by something that may have happened a long time ago. On top of all my training and client work I have had a lot of life experience and I bring this all into our sessions so I can see and hear you fully. It may be that you feel so overwhelmed you don't know really where to start, or that the words just don't come so easily. In whatever place you find yourself I am ready and able to meet you wherever you are emotionally.

If you are feeling low, anxious or stuck and unable to change things yourself, or repeating difficult or destructive patterns of behaviour, working with and talking with someone not involved in your life can really help. If you are struggling to cope with how life is at the moment or with something from the past, then getting support from me is the first step to feeling supported and heard and looking at how we can work together to help you make changes in behaviour, relationships, communication and ways of thinking and processing what you are facing. Your emotional and mental well-being matters and you don't have to struggle alone.

Counselling is a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs or experiences over a period of time with the support of a trained listener. It is a non-judgmental, safe space, which helps to be able to reflect what is happening in your life and find alternative ways of handling them. Talking it through with a trusted counsellor helps to develop self-awareness and insight into how a person relates both to themselves and to those around them, along with finding new methods of dealing with everyday life experiences.

More often than not, the roots of emotional problems go deeper than normal awareness can reach, and my role is to enable you to identify, and focus on, some of the destructive ways of relating to yourself and others that might leave you feeling depressed, anxious or alone. ​ Together, we will create a safe and creative environment, which will help you to explore the different aspects of yourself – some which harmoniously coexist, and others that are at odds with each other.

I am a transactional analysis psychotherapist and counsellor. I always appreciate that it takes courage to seek support and the first step can seem daunting. Therapy can help to organise your thoughts and feelings and free you from repeated patterns of behaviour that prevent you from leading a happier and more fulfilling life. You can learn to understand why those patterns are there and how to change them, so that they no longer control what you are trying to achieve for yourself. I work online and face to face (depending on availability of space). The virtual setting is calm, confidential and safe.

Anxiety around intimacy, relationships, or sexual concerns is incredibly common, and the overarching impact that these issues can have on your health and happiness is often underestimated and undervalued. Forming meaningful and honest connections with people including yourself, and feeling empowered to truly accept and project how you feel - good and bad - is challenging with sex and relationships being no exception. Shedding light on the unconscious and bringing new perspectives to your world can be the seed from which healing and personal development grow.

SERVICES I PROVIDE: Like all forms of therapy, integrative therapy requires that you are open to exploring your fears, your hopes, your life, what is causing you challenges, and what you hope for your future. But if you like the idea of a therapy which is a bit more bespoke and less rigid than other forms, then integrative therapy might indeed be for you. Would you like to try this type of therapy?

You may have heard counselling referred to as a ‘safe space’. But what does that mean? Simply put, it's a physical and mental space where you can be yourself without fear of being judged or rejected. It's a place where you can feel validated, supported and comfortable enough to show raw emotion, vulnerability, or explore parts of yourself that you don’t like or are ashamed of. That's what I can provide. I'll support you in talking about the current challenges you are facing; together, we might look back on your life to help identify patterns of behaviour that have developed over time and how they might be impacting your life now.

Counselling can be an expensive yet transformative undertaking. I aim to offer it at affordable rates. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or impacted by loss, I can help. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space to help you explore what is happening for you. I use an integrative approach, blending various therapeutic methods to suit each person's needs, including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT. This might involve using tools and techniques to understand and manage your anxieties, or it may involve identifying unconscious patterns to uncover deeper insights into your thoughts and behaviours.
