I am a qualified systemic psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families. In individual sessions, you can explore your emotions/behaviours, and relationships in different contexts, such as family/work, how they have been formed over time and impact on the view of self. Family/couples work: In a secure space, the presenting problem would be explored in relation to the family’s/couples' rules, roles, beliefs and emotions building on the existing strengths and resources of the system. There is no set agenda or expectations for a unanimous perspective, on the contrary, all voices and differences are welcomed.

You may be high-functioning yet exhausted, struggling with stress, burnout, low mood or a sense of losing yourself. You want clarity, balance and space to think and feel without judgement. You’re not looking for quick fixes you want to understand what is going on and feel more in control, calmer and more like yourself again.

Are you still trying to outrun your fear and prove your worth? If so, I see you. I know you because this was me before I made friends with my demons and put them to work for me. In fact, I moved across the ocean to try and outrun them. But you see, no matter where you are in the world; no matter where you are in your life; no matter where you are in your head; your demons remain right there with you.

Therapy has the exciting potential to support deep understanding and change of attitude. The reasons that people give therapy a try are uniquely subjective. Initially perhaps there is a wish to try something new and understanding starts from hints, clues and hunches. Especially in group therapy you come to know yourself in ways you didn't before, through reflecting with others on experiences in and out of the group. Group therapy is nothing mystical and can lead to better use of intuition as a tool. No need to learn special techniques, in group therapy there are only sincerity, honesty and responsiveness.

Life is full of ups and downs. When we find ourselves in the most challenging times in our lives, having external guidance and support can be hugely beneficial in helping us navigate the difficult journey and support our healing. Therapy is your chance to talk about everything you are feeling and thinking without any judgement. Having a space that is safe and dedicated to you can be hugely powerful in helping you better understand yourself, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, conscious and unconscious behaviours. I offer a warm, empathic space for you to be seen and heard as your whole self.

It was Mr Miyagi in the movie “The Karate Kid” who said, “You know, but you do not understand.” We are often aware of the feelings and thoughts we are having, the behaviours they are causing and the distress that can generate. We can even know the traumas that have happened that we can attribute them to. But we can’t understand or articulate them enough to change them and heal. Perhaps this is the way you feel? Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety, depression or both for some time and everyday life is more challenging than you want it to be? Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event that you can’t seem to get over?

As a family and couples psychotherapist I believe that relationships, both past, present and future, are important resources for healing psychological difficulties and improving emotional health. I work with both individuals, couples and families to help people think through their connections and help to improve their lives. Using a range of systemic approaches, including attachment, narrative and solution focused ideas, I aim to offer clients a different way of looking at their problems, and support them to create new ways of communicating and create meaning within their relationships.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Life can be difficult at times and we tend to experience our greatest challenges when what we are doing is very different from what we would like to be doing. Sometimes our relationships might not be fulfilling or work can seem pointless or unsatisfactory. This can manifest in distressing thoughts, painful feelings and unhelpful behaviours. Our work together will help you to live a more rich and meaningful life.
