When we first meet, I want it to feel like a space where we can genuinely get to know each other. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is a priority for me, as I believe this foundation is key to creating a safe, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported from the outset, knowing that you can express yourself openly without judgement. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable therapeutic goals, and we’ll revisit them as we move forward, adjusting along the way to ensure that we’re always working towards what matters most to you.

I specialise in anxiety, (including OCD), perinatal mental health, and trauma leading to attachment/relationship struggles. You might find yourself stuck in a loop of anxiety, or have thoughts that you feel too embarrassed to share. Maybe you have to force yourself out of bed, only to have another day that’s miserable. You might feel you’ve reached a stagnant point in life, feel anxious in your relationships, or maybe you’re going through huge change, like a break up or having a baby. Many people reach out to me to start therapy facing these problems. My aim is that you leave therapy feeling in control, happier, and understood

Individuals and couples come to me when they feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain in their sexual and relational lives; often navigating shame, desire differences, body confusion, breakdowns in communication, or a sense that something deeper is not being met. Alongside this, many are also curious about expanding into more aliveness: intimacy, fantasy, kink, alternative relating, emotional honesty, and relational depth.
My approach is grounded, somatic and relational where we move between difficulty and expansion, supporting greater embodiment, awareness, clarity, and the capacity to meet yourself and others more fully.

Our therapy together will be from an integrative, client-centred approach, blending person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT and mindfulness and other techniques.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, or stress? Struggling with ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself as you try to discover who you truly are? This is a calm, inclusive, and confidential space for adults to speak openly at their own pace.

Together, we’ll understand your emotions, regain stability, and reconnect with yourself and others helping you move forward with confidence and experience a more fulfilling, balanced life.

My practice has a foundation in Mindfulness and a radical acceptance of the human condition.
There are times in everyone's life when things can feel overwhelming. At others, we can find ourselves repeating unhelpful or destructive patterns in our behaviour or relationships. At these difficult, and sometimes very distressing times, therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. For others, therapy can be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I work in both the NHS and as a consultant in Private Practice. I am also a senior tutor at the Minster Centre a pre-eminent training organisation for Psychotherapists.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist meaning I draw on a range of methods to help my clients. I am interested in the relationship between thinking, emotions, past development, spiritual beliefs and lifestyle and how psychotherapy can help restore a natural balance between these processes. Many clients who present with anxiety, depression and other diagnoses experience confusion, hopelessness and loss of control. Exploring relationships, meaning, choices and connections can enhance their capacity for growth and development. Therapy can help clients experience powerful personal change in themselves and often in others around them.
