I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with extensive experience of mood related issues including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem to more complex, life-long and personality related issues.
My background lies in the charity, education and social care sectors. Work with diversity and deprivation has enabled me to gain insight into the many factors that shape our psychological selves. I am empathic to the unique ways we suffer as individuals and, from experience, understand how this can serve new growth and wellbeing.

I can help if you are struggling with loss, anxiety, low mood, or experiencing difficulties in your relationships or in the way you attach to others.
I have a lot of experience with bereavement and loss. Loss- not limited to the death of a loved one- can also be anything from the loss of a relationship to loss of home or identity, anticipatory grief or a general feeling of loss. I support people with pet loss. I also have specialist training and interest in trauma, miscarriage and sexual abuse.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, lack of meaning/purpose, or just the day to day navigation of a complex life, our work can provide you warmth, reflection, and support.
I see therapy as a process of making contact with hidden parts of yourself, with emotions that have been hard to name and feel, and with your own unique sense of meaning. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just the day to day navigation of a complex life, our work can provide you warmth, reflection, and support.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in repetitive patterns - persistent stress or anxiety that does not respond to self-help strategies, recurring relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness or lack of meaning, or a deep sense of not being ‘enough’.
I work integratively, drawing on psychodynamic, internal family systems, person-centred, mindfulness-based, and cognitive-behavioural approaches. This allows us to collaboratively explore how past experiences might influence current patterns and relationships, process feelings in the present, and develop practical strategies for managing difficulties.

As a clinical psychologist, I hold expertise in working with various challenges, including anxiety (social anxiety, health anxiety, generalised anxiety, panic and OCD) low mood, low self-esteem, and trauma.
Taking the first steps toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but a trusting, compassionate, and non-judgmental relationship is at the heart of my approach. I offer tailored psychological therapy to help you explore challenges, connect with your strengths, and move toward holistic wellbeing. I understand the role cultural and social contexts play in shaping mental health and wellbeing, and I am dedicated to creating an affirming space for clients of diverse backgrounds, sexualities, and identities. Together, we’ll work to overcome obstacles and foster growth in a supportive, inclusive environment.

They can be stuck for many reasons, but commonly this is anxiety, depression or life events, including the death of someone close, the loss of a job or illness, to name a few.
I work integratively, which means that I have a toolkit of approaches that we choose from, guided by where the source of your problems lie, e.g. if you believe you have several parts of you that argue internally, we may run an experiment to make the conversations explicit so we can examine the internal conflict and negotiate a way forward.

Do you feel there is more to you beneath anxiety, emotional distress or unconscious survival patterns and life's demands?
These concerns are more common than we often admit, yet they can feel isolating. My approach integrates psychodynamic, humanistic and trauma-informed therapy somatic awareness and creative work within a 3 Body framework, connecting mind body and soul to support deeper self enquiry emotional regulation and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

I believe passionately that people can change; even transform their lives.  It is a belief based on my own personal experience of psychotherapy and of over thirty years working as a psychotherapist and counsellor with a rich variety of people with many different concerns and difficulties. It is my belief that when we feel stuck and unable to change things for ourselves, or experience repeating  destructive or unhelpful patterns then we often need the help of someone not involved in our lives to help us make changes.  This is the work I love.

Does life feel like its getting on top of you? Could you benefit from a place to take some time-out? At certain times we all experience difficulties and doubt, go through life transitions (career change, divorce, new relationship, mid-life crisis) or discover patterns in our lives that are un-supportive. Seeing a counsellor or psychotherapist can help you face these challenges and turn them into an opportunity for personal growth.
