I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist who has worked in mental health services for over 15 years. My expertise lies in helping people to find a path to achieving lasting change. I often work with people who feel very stuck. They may have tried many approaches to achieving lasting change, but found themselves slipping into old patterns of behaviour after a time. I offer an evidence based approach, together we will use a series of assessment sessions to develop a mutual understanding of your difficulties, and develop a plan to move forward.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, sensitive people who may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with have spent years masking, carrying things alone, or feeling misunderstood. I offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their emotions safely, build self-understanding, strengthen self-trust, and move towards a more authentic, balanced, and sustainable way of living

In invite you to contact me to speak confidentially about anything that you feel you need at this point in your life. This could be difficulties in your everyday life or with others. This could be thoughts, feelings, or sensations that are too much. This could be a lack of desire or enjoyment in life. This could be a loss or a destabilising event. This could also be a question about yourself, which you wish to explore in a non-judgemental space. I welcome people of all ethnicities, cultures, and alternative subcultures; and people of all genders, sexual orientations, types of relationships, and sexual activities.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can be very effective in improving states of depression and anxiety. It can help make sense of emotional patterns that are painful, confusing, and impact on many aspects of your life and your relationships. Over time this insight can not only provide relief but expand your self-insight, strengthen your emotional resilience, and foster a greater sense of authenticity.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or exhausted from trying to manage alone? I’m a Clinical Psychologist offering a warm, collaborative space to help people make sense of emotional difficulties, relationship patterns, and changes in identity or sense of self. I’m particularly passionate about supporting people navigating questions of belonging, shame and self-acceptance, and impacts like depression and anxiety and how isolating and draining this can feel. I aim to help people feel more connected to themselves and less alone in their struggles.

You may be feeling worried, down, stressed, fed up, conflicted, confused, or simply wishing for change. It may feel difficult to manage life and you may have no idea why, or you might have some ideas. Perhaps you’ve had difficult experiences during childhood, adolescence or adulthood. Perhaps the thought of talking to someone feels a bit scary but better than keeping everything bottled up. You may wish to improve your relationship or relationships in general. Perhaps things happen in your life and you don’t understand why, or how. You might find that you’re drawn to distractions like the internet, or overspending.

I believe that therapy is personal journey that should focus on the individual needs and personality; therapy is a non judgemental process based on trust and partnership from both parties, the client and the therapist. The focus of my approach is to understand the person's emotional sufferance and difficulties in order to promote inner wellbeing and growth. I look at past and present experiences to gather a sense of the person in front of me and find the best way to help them. The main aim of my job is to improve people's quality of life and self-worth.

I weave different therapies to support clients/ Couples in managing and healing from struggles that affect their relational, emotional, and mental health & happiness. Ruptures in one's mental wellness or relationship can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, sexual functioning/ identity and a myriad of other concerns that hinder our emotional self-esteem and ongoing happiness within the relationship that we have with ourselves and loved ones. I like this quote: " To heal is not to repeat" Isn't it time for change?

My clients are usually thoughtful people who have spent years trying to understand themselves and others. If this is you, you might be wondering why you're still struggling with feeling low, anxious or like nobody really gets it. I’ll tailor therapy to you we can move beyond just the insight into what’s keeping you stuck and towards actually building a life that feels more connected to yourself and others in a way that feels meaningful and authentic to your values.

Many of the parents I work with are deeply shocked by how difficult the transition to parenthood can be. You might be feeling intensely anxious, constantly on edge, or disconnected from the person you used to be before your baby or toddler arrived. Couples I work with often feel a growing distance, finding it hard to connect or find time together. Whether you are navigating the complex shift from one child to two, struggling with raw toddler rages, or dealing with a silent sense of shame that you've somehow 'failed' before you've even got started, please know you are not alone.

I work with adults of all ages and adolescents from the age of 11 years. They come to my practice with a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, relationships, family dynamics, self esteem, repeating negative patterns, work issues, loss, eating disorders. There are no quick fixes in therapy, it is a process which can take time before results can be felt.
