At times, life can feel overwhelming. We may carry emotions that are hard to make sense of, or find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. In my practice, I offer a calm, supportive space where we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface—at your pace. My approach is gentle, integrative, and grounded in compassion, helping you reconnect with a sense of clarity, purpose, and emotional ease.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. I offer a holistic approach which allows clients to bring every aspect of themselves, creating a heart to heart connection. With children and Adolescence I work to support and understand their experiences and stages of development.

Are feelings of being trapped in complex relationships, self-doubt, depression, anxiety or uncertainty during life’s transitions becoming overwhelming? Are you grappling with your identity or facing the challenges that come with change, like menopause? Perhaps you’re a high achiever dealing with self-confidence issues and the pressure of imposter syndrome. Are you looking for someone who embraces feminist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and anti-racist principles? Do you need support in addressing the effects of narcissistic abuse and complex relational dynamics?

I am a Chartered and Registered Counselling Psychologist who adopts a pluralistic framework based on the premise that no one therapeutic approach is superior, and different clients are likely to benefit from different therapeutic methods at different points in time. The pluralistic position puts the client and their needs at the centre of therapy and is based on working collaboratively. I honestly believe that people are experts of themselves but with help from trained professionals they can have a better understanding of themselves and the reason(s) for their behaviours.

I'm a transpersonal integrative psychotherapist, and have provided therapeutic support for clients who have experienced a range of issues including: abuse, childhood neglect, addictions, low self-esteem, self-harm, narcissistic abuse and wounding, weakened sense of self, anxiety, depression, low confidence, and trauma related issues. I feel the work that I do with my clients aligns with Carl Jung's statement "it is a privilege of a lifetime to become who you truly are." I believe that psychotherapy is a process that supports this, through self awareness and understanding one's life experiences, one can heal and transform.

I qualified as a therapist in 2007, and later as a Transpersonal psychotherapist. I work in full time private practice and provide one to one psychotherapy. I am also an accredited member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. As well as offering face to face appointments, I also see clients online, both in the UK and internationally. My experience of having worked with clients online over a number of years, is that it can provide an effective means of working at depth and supporting real change. Many of the approaches I use within a face to face context have been successfully adapted.

I completely understand that starting therapy can be overwhelming. Maybe you have been feeling low, anxious or stressed and you are not quite sure where to begin or who might be the right therapist for you. Struggling with mental health can leave people feeling hopeless, but it is very common for complicated feelings like these to surface and you are not alone.By making the decision to start therapy, you have already prioritised understanding yourself better, healing, and wanting to take back some control of your life.

The therapy I offer is a safe, welcoming, reflective space in which you can feel at ease and can explore all aspects of your life. It’s a harbour from the choppy waters of daily life, a place to be heard and understood without judgement. It’s an opportunity to take stock, to make sense of how you got here, to boost your inner resources, to explore possibilities for the future and to implement positive change. I help to structure the process, to provide clarity about what might be impeding you and offer strategies for clearing the way ahead. In addition to talk therapy I also offer the opportunity to use the arts as part of our work.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, which means I have completed extensive training in the assessment and treatment of mental health difficulties throughout different stages of life. My approach to therapy is warm, empathic, and genuine. It is important to me to create a space that feels safe, and where my clients feel heard and understood. Some people come to see me for help with a specific issue such as anxiety, or difficulties with managing stress at work. Others meet with me to have a space where they can be free to reflect and work towards a greater sense of understanding, and in turn compassion, towards themselves.

Seeking support is a brave step. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and disconnected, or sense past events and relationships are affecting your daily life. If so, therapy could help you. I support adults (18+), online and in person. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, self-harm, grief, conflicting values regarding sexuality and religion, sexual abuse and co-dependant relationships. Empowering those identifying as neurodiverse, (ADHD & Autism) is a personal passion. Whatever your experience, we can gently consider how it prevents you from meeting your full potential and living a fulfilling life.

It's normal to need support with our mental health and wellbeing. Sometimes we need help to feel more at ease in a specific area of our lives, or perhaps to explore why we feel the way we do. Whatever your hopes are for therapy, I strive to create a safe and supportive space tailored for you. I am a Clinical Psychologist, which means I am trained to support people with different hopes, needs, and difficulties, by using a wide range of therapies. I work by first understanding more about you and what has brought you to therapy, before agreeing on a therapeutic approach which will best suit your individual needs.
