AXA, BUPA, Vitality & WPA welcome.
My work focuses on trauma, anxiety, stress, and the lasting effects of adversity across the lifespan. I am especially interested in how earlier experiences, attachment patterns, and current demands shape emotional wellbeing, relationships, and coping in the present. I offer psychologically informed, evidence-based support aimed not only at symptom relief, but at deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a late ADHD diagnosis, or processing the impact of a significant life event. Often, we find ourselves repeating patterns we don’t fully understand, outwardly competent, high performing, even exceptional, yet internally disconnected from a sense of satisfaction or happiness. As a CBT psychotherapist, I combine evidence-based approaches with genuine curiosity and compassion. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can gently explore your experiences, make sense of what’s happened, and work collaboratively to create meaningful lifelong change.

There is no one way of living, and we will all find ourselves faced with challenges along the way. Sometimes, the help of an outside source can enable us to view things in a different light or explore in more depth, which is where counselling can be beneficial. I am a Person-centred counsellor working in an integrative way, as I believe no two people are ever the same, so how can a counselling approach be? For that reason, my approach may differ depending on who I am working with and their individual needs. I love meeting people from all walks of life, and it is a true privilege to play a small role in their journey through life.

I am a Consultant Psychologist and work specifically with people who have OCD or Trauma or both. In 27 years of specialist practice, I have helped 1000+ people regain their lives. It's not your fault if previous therapy hasn't yet yielded the desired results. Often, this is due to a lack of therapist expertise. I tailor therapy to exactly what is needed for YOUR issues. Therefore, your time & monetary investment is often less with me than with other non-specialist psychologists. I see only a small number of clients, so I can offer you the highest level of service. I currently hold a waitlist. Please EMAIL me. No AXA insurance.

Standard or nature-based art therapy & mindfulness for stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, family issues or work-related issues. Having a safe non-judgemental space to explore challenges, memories or traumas can help us heal & move forward. We can start wherever you are, you choose the pace. Deepening nature-connection can help manage difficult feelings as well as uplift/soothe us. Sometimes it is difficult to describe emotions with words, that's where art can help. It's not about creating masterpieces. Using art & nature online might seem counter-intuitive, but it works surprisingly well. No need to be outdoors during the session

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck? You don’t have to face it alone. I’m a Senior Clinical Psychologist offering a calm, compassionate, safe space and evidence-based therapy (e.g. EMDR, CBT, CFT) for anxiety, trauma, self-esteem and relational difficulties. I support people experiencing common mental health difficulties, as well as those without clear goals but who wish to better understand themselves, feel more at ease in relationships, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right. You don’t need clear goals to begin therapy—many people start simply knowing something doesn’t feel right and wanting space to explore it.
