Allow me to introduce myself: I am a father, a son, a husband, a good friend, a counsellor and psychotherapist. People experience difficulties in all sorts of areas in their lives. These might be personal relationships, situations at work, problems at home, anxiety, low mood, ADHD, ASD, feeling stuck… You name it – I am sure you have yours! If these difficulties are getting on top of you or making you unhappy, it may be helpful to see a therapist. We see a therapist not because we are ‘crazy’, or because there is something wrong with us. We simply seek the support of a professional, who is trained in how our brain works.

This involves clarifying truths and developing confidence to name internal experience, to process traumas and end self-sabotaging behaviours. I assist my clients to become more capable in managing the complex realities of their everyday and professional lives.

I have extensive experience of working with clients who idenitfy as LGBTQIA+ as well as those from other marginalised groups, including those affected by addictions and trauma.
Every individual has their own unique journey towards self-acceptance. In our work together, I will help you gain deeper insight into the challenges you are facing and consider ways to bring about meaningful change. We will mutually agree on a pace that feels right for you to start looking more deeply into what is causing you to suffer. Together, we'll explore ways to challenge negative or harmful patterns and identify healthier alternatives. My approach is primarily person-centered, though I may also draw from other therapeutic styles using a holisitic/psychospiritual lens to support the shift towards healing the whole self.

My practice is non-pathologising, trauma informed, collaborative and creative. I consciously create a containing and non-judgemental space for the people I work with, building trust over time. I believe that safety in the therapeutic relationship is paramount in allowing someone to begin unravelling, processing and embracing all parts of themselves. There is limited space in our world where others can sit alongside us in a meaningful way, so I aim to do this for my clients. I commit to being alongside in the discomfort, complexity and messiness of existence while marking moments of connection and sparks of joy.

You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety and shame, or perhaps long-standing OCD is making daily life difficult. You might be navigating a painful transition—loss, the end of a relationship, divorce, or stepping into motherhood—and finding that old fears or childhood feelings are resurfacing. When life or identity shifts, everything can feel upside down, overwhelming, or uncertain. If you would like to explore what is happening, build self-acceptance, and feel more grounded and connected, get in touch.

Hi, I’m Polly. Life can feel overwhelming - self-doubt, intense emotions, and repeating patterns in relationships can leave you stuck, anxious or frustrated. Or perhaps you're feeling flat and disconnected. I work with people who want to understand these patterns, make sense of their feelings, and gain more choice in the way they relate to themselves and others. Many of the people I work with experienced early wounds. Together we explore your inner life, seeking to understand how your early life shaped who you are. I do not believe the past has to dictate the future - with the right support, meaningful change is possible.

Are you feeling stuck in painful relationship dynamics, struggling with intimacy or sexual challenges, or navigating the complexities of cultural transition and identity? Do you feel like some parts of you are lost, wounded, or out of sync - with your partner, your body, or your sense of self? You may be carrying stories that no longer serve you, shaped by culture, past relationships, or unspoken wounds. As an integrative counsellor, psychosexual and relationship therapist, I offer a space where all of you is welcome - where we slow down, listen deeply, and gently reconnect you with who you are, and how you want to live and love.
