Our clinic offers evidence-based psychological therapies. We provide a confidential space where individuals can explore emotional difficulties that may be longstanding, complex, or resistant to change. Informed by relational models that emphasise the therapeutic relationship as a dynamic, co-created process, our work supports meaningful, lasting change through sustained attention to the deeper layers of the mind. This integrative approach is supported by a growing body of clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness, especially in complex or chronic cases, with benefits that often continue beyond the duration of therapy.

“I don’t feel like my usual self, but I don’t really know why”.
If you’re having some version of this thought, together we can figure out how you’ve got to where you are and how you might start feeling better again.
Sometimes, difficulties from our past pile up and need some sorting through so that they no longer cast such a shadow over the present. Talking through this, as well as what’s currently going on in your life, can free us up to make the kinds of changes that can get us back on track.

I want therapy with me to be a positive experience for you.

I work with people who feel ready to address some kind of dis-ease in their lives, whether that is an anxiety, addiction, relationship question or stress-related physical pain. Many of these issues take time to address properly although people often experience relief relatively quickly. I worked as a teacher before becoming a psychotherapist, and still like the Greek word for teaching: pedagogy, which has at its heart the idea of accompanying. I accompany people in-person and online, on their journey; I rarely offer advice but work with people to help them understand themselves, what they want, and the best way forward for them.

Through online Cognitive Behaviour Therapy sessions I provide coping methods, discussions, discovery, and learning resources to support my clients to connect to their true selves. I came to the UK over 25 years ago, and fully established my personal life and a successful career in a foreign country. I brought up two children, whilst learning a new culture and language, which appeared to be, at the time, daunting tasks. This personal experience and my 15 years in the NHS, has enabled me to build on my further professional studies and therefore bring a deeper level of understanding resulting in exceptional therapeutic outcomes.

I provide focused therapy that will help you to see your patterns and emotions as well as moral and ethical challenges arising from interpersonal and social contexts better, to then allow you to change them. Obstacles to change are very subtle, often almost invisible. Self-awareness can redirect your energies to creating more positive states of mind. We will work on how ethical and moral dilemmas arise between people, how this interacts with different life experiences that impact your personality and how that then affects your psychological well being.

In my Central Oxford practice I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, rather than be guided by expectations and pleasing others. I also work with people who have experienced trauma, including with a PTSD diagnosis, helping them to process the trauma and reduce unwanted symptoms. I help couples to reset their relationships to a healthier state, to hear and understand each other and to make joint decisions about the future of their relationship and their family system.

Psychosis Counsellors
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
