Specialties and Focus:
Anxiety, stress, and confidence
Professionals and leaders under pressure
When you know what to do but can’t do it
Relationship and workplace dynamics
Meaning, direction, and personal growth
Couples therapy
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can take time to attend to yourself - to make sense of what’s happening, your role in what is happening in your life and what you need next.
Many of my clients are capable professionals who have already tried to solve things through insight or effort, yet still feel stuck. If you know what to do, intend to do the right thing, and somehow can’t follow through, our work can help uncover why and shift what lies underneath.
Together we look at both your inner patterns, the emotional and relational habits that shape you, and how you feel and relate to others.

You may wish to seek psychotherapy at times of struggle, feeling sad or stuck, or having adverse experiences that you carry from your past. You may also want to gain more insight into yourself, your behaviours, your feelings and your relationships. People can experience difficulties in life, causing unhappiness at home, at work and in relationships. Often these difficulties are caused by past experiences or relationships the person is not consciously aware of. Once unconscious processes and well-established behavioural patterns are brought to the fore, it is easier for people to overcome their difficulties.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I offer a wide range of psychological interventions tailored to your specific needs. I work integratively which means being able to offer bespoke treatment plans based on your individual requirements rather than offer a 'one-size fits all' approach. I believe that collaboration is key in good therapy and will work with you to identify your problems or concerns, to create a joint understanding of these and what action you may need to take to improve your situation and move towards becoming the kind of person you may want to be.

Do you ever feel that a part of you wants to speak your truth, while another holds back out of fear of conflict or judgement? One part of you wants closeness and connection in relationships, but another part pulls away the moment things start to get real? Or a part wants change, but another clings to what's familiar, even when it no longer serves you. Very often these parts live in disagreement with one another, and disconnected from you, living their own lives and speak louder than you do. This can make you feel as if you're pulled apart causing anxiety, internal conflict, keeping you stuck in the same cycle, hopeless and lonely.

I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ASD and ADHD assessments.

We don't always understand why we feel or react the way we do, and even when we do, change can be hard. Often this is because the patterns that keep us stuck once helped us get through. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, complex trauma, work-related stress and burnout, and relationship difficulties. Many of the people I work with seem to be managing well on the outside, yet feel that something important remains unresolved: a sense of not being enough, of carrying too much alone, or of being unable to fully rest, connect or be seen. Therapy can help you understand why, and find another way.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.
When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.
Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.
Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.
What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.
How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling is usually paid for privately in Great Britain, rather than through the NHS, and sessions often cost around £60 to £120 or more. Fees depend on location, with costs generally higher in the London area, as well as counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. However, lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community clinics or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
