I work intergratively and collaboratively, that is to say I draw on different psychological therapies, including CBT, Narrative and Attachment ideas and techniques, depending on the challenges and stories brought into the therapy room by the client(s). I work within an overarching Systemic framework which pays special attention to supporting individuals, couples and families to find the strengths of their relationships so as to make disturbing symptoms less problematic. It is not just about problems however, Systemic therapy is  built on a bedrock of hope, focusing on resilience and resourcefulness.

I offer a safe and confidential space and a therapeutic relationship to explore what's pushing you down or holding you back, to help you move forward from difficult experiences, and to gain more freedom, ease, and creativity in your life. As a UKCP accredited integrative therapist with a background in psychology obtained in the US, I hold a balance between different theories and therapy approaches in line with your needs.

People often find counselling useful when they are struggling to make sense of difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences they are encountering. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which an individual can explore their life in their own personal way, as a means of finding deeper understanding; balance and to strengthen their resolve. Whilst being a counsellor I have experience working within the Ministry Of Justice for 18+ years delivering Therapeutic Groups for both men and women who have entered the Criminal Justice System.

My approach is person-centred and solution-focused. I hold a warm, inclusive, judgement-free space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in my understanding of how life stressors, social and economic pressure, and trauma contribute to mental health difficulties. I adopt a systemic and intersectional approach, recognizing that individuals cannot be understood in isolation. By supporting individuals with their community in mind, I believe significant positive change can be achieved.

Life can be overwhelming, and whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, seeking support is a powerful first step toward change. Many of my clients come to me feeling lost, unsure of their next move, and often exhausted by the pressures of daily life. You might be wrestling with feelings of isolation, frustration, or a sense of “not being enough.” Therapy offers a safe and confidential space where you can slow down and work through challenges in a meaningful way. I work collaboratively with clients to overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to think about how we live and how we love. For many, the simple act of speaking with someone in a safe, non-judgmental space, where confidentiality allows for the expression of confused, unsettled or disturbing thoughts and feelings, sets the conditions for healing to take place. In our work together, we will explore your experiences and how you navigate life, problems, and relationships.

Counselling can be a profoundly self-changing experience but taking that first step may feel daunting. The thought of talking through emotional turmoil or difficult life experiences can be overwhelming, but what would it be like to talk to someone who will listen without judging you or offering you advice? Someone who can be a thinking partner? Doing this in a safe environment, at a pace that suits you can help you gain clarity and a better understanding of yourself.
