I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Psychodynamic and Person Centred schools.
I am a BACP registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.
I view therapy as an honest, meaningful conversation between two people where you will feel heard and understood. My style is friendly and down-to-earth, with a focus on building a genuine connection and then using this as the basis for exploring aspects of your life that are holding you back. I appreciate that starting any kind of personal work may be daunting and can bring up feelings of anxiety, so I place a great deal of emphasis on making sure the relationship is a good fit and we work at a pace that promotes a sense of safety before we begin to work at depth

I use integrative therapy — person-centred, psychodynamic, and existential approaches.
Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning, anxious, and self-critical — people who can’t switch off no matter how hard they try. I’m here to help you find steadier ground, where rest feels safe and you can finally exhale.
If this sounds familiar, you might recognise yourself in what follows.
There’s always something to fix, control, or get right.
You’re terrified of getting something wrong. “Feedback” feels like failure.
You replay conversations, rewrite emails, and double-check locks and feelings alike.
You can’t remember the last time you could just be.
You don't know how to stop
