I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Educational Psychologist, with over 17 years’ experience of working therapeutically. I specialise in supporting people navigating the impact of early trauma, who experience attachment difficulties and unhelpful patterns of relating. My specialism also includes supporting parents experiencing post-adoption issues and the lasting impact of their children's early relational experiences. I am able to combine adult therapy with a package of family support, in such cases. I have expertise in supporting neurodivergent individuals and families, particularly those experiencing SEND-system burnout.

Feeling trapped by anxiety, OCD, past trauma, or constant health worries? You may be exhausted by intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or relentless “what if” fears, frustrated that nothing has worked so far. As a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, EMDR practitioner, and Senior Lecturer in CBT, I help people regain control, reduce distressing thoughts, and face anxiety with confidence. Together, we create personalised, practical strategies that restore calm, balance, and a real sense of possibility, so life finally feels manageable and yours again.

Do you feel stuck in patterns of relating to yourself and others that feel familiar, yet are holding you back? My approach to therapy is grounded in an understanding that current difficulties are often influenced by past experiences, relationships, and patterns that may sit outside of our awareness. I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for meaningful change - I believe that change can happen when you feel genuinely heard and understood. My work is individually tailored, and I draw flexibly on a range of evidence-based approaches to facilitate meaning making and promote change.
