Psychodynamic therapist with a Post Graduate qualification in Human Relations and Counselling.

Do you feel emotionally drained, lost, or disconnected from yourself? Or maybe everything is going right in your life, but you feel something is missing? I can help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and find a way forward.
With experience working in addiction and recovery, I have developed a deeper understanding of how coping behaviours, emotional pain, and past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. Whether or not addiction is part of your story, these patterns can show up in many different ways, and together we can begin to make sense of them.

As an integrative counsellor I am trained in humanistic, behavioural and psychodynamic modalities such as Person Centred therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA).
Life can seem overwhelming, with little time or space to consider how we are feeling or how we might overcome the challenges that cause us sadness, confusion, anxiety, anger or doubt. You might be deciding to seek counselling for a variety of reasons including relationship issues, bereavement and loss, depression and anxiety, current life events or the impact of earlier childhood trauma. I am passionate about offering empathy, compassion and a chance for you to explore why you might be feeling lost or stuck. Our work together can help you to focus, make changes and unlock the possibilities to becoming mentally healthier and happier.

Using an integrative approach (including person-centered therapy, CBT, and psychodynamic techniques), I tailor each session to meet you where you are.
You’re the one who keeps it together for everyone else,but inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or just not feeling like yourself. You’ve been coping for a while, but now you’re ready for real change. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns that no longer serve you overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or low self-worth. Or you’re carrying past pain that still affects you today. You don’t want a quick fix. You want to understand what’s going on, feel more in control, and reconnect with who you really are. You’re ready to talk, even if it feels a bit scary. You want a space where you can be honest, feel heard, and start healing.

Many people come to therapy when stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, or long-standing emotional patterns begin to feel difficult to manage alone. I offer online therapy for adults across the UK, providing a confidential and structured space to explore what feels stuck, overwhelming, or unresolved.

My approach is integrative, incorporating CBT, humanistic and psychodynamic elements.
I value working deeply and curiously to untangle challenges in people's experiences. So often we are stuck in relationships or in situations that don't serve us. However, with support, we can find out about where these issues originate and how to move forward with compassion. I work with attachment theory to unpick relational patterns and look at reactions and choices we make in life. I work with clients' Parts to begin to understand their inner world and build new ways of communicating, growing self-esteem and confidence. I love working with clients from a base of an authentic and trusting relationship on a medium/long-term basis.

I am an experienced psychotherapist in private practise, as well as teaching faculty on foundation and advanced counselling courses in Exeter, UK.
I firmly believe that we are fundamentally relational beings, ones that need security, understanding & care above all else. Real change comes not from trying to fix thinking patterns, self-concepts or the past, but in shifting relational dynamics in the here and now and finding new ways of being with another. This is what I focus on in therapy with my clients,

I don’t only listen and nod through the session — I notice what keeps you stuck, challenge unhelpful patterns, and bring insight that actually helps you respond differently. Together, we create clarity, confidence, and relationships that feel secure and balanced.
You might be overthinking everything, or feel “too much” or “not enough.” You may struggle to set boundaries, feel drained, and have relationship difficulties with partners, colleagues, or family. You may feel anxious in conflict, unsure how to express your needs, or frustrated by patterns you can’t change alone.
You’re in safe hands with me.
