I work in private practice with individuals and couples, focusing on lived experience — including values, family and relational patterns, identity, relationships, and questions of purpose and meaning.
I offer a warm, respectful, and honest approach to therapy, grounded in open dialogue. Rather than focusing on quick solutions, my work centres on helping you explore what feels true and meaningful for you. Together, we build a trusting and confidential therapeutic relationship, creating a safe space to reflect on your experiences and existential concerns.

Some of the issues that draw people to therapy are depression, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement, trauma, abuse, sexuality, sexual problems, physical illness/pain, low self-esteem, phobias, problems at work/college, stress, suicidal feelings, isolation, crisis, anger and feelings of failure.
I am an experienced, qualified counsellor and member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in an integrative way, which means that I use theories and concepts from different therapeutic models. I believe that psychological problems are seldom caused by just one source or situation, and that therefore a variety of strategies may be useful for achieving the desired outcome. Experience: I have worked in different settings with children, adolescents and adults. In addition to private practice, I have worked as a counsellor within secondary education, Thurrock Mind, St Francis Hospice and KCA (addiction).

Together, in our therapeutic relationship, we will explore your own inner conflicts and emotional distress, and examine what these mean in an atmosphere that is confidential, safe and collaborative.
The therapy I offer recognises that the most important relationship that affects the way you live and manage your own life is the sometimes complex relationship you may have with yourself. I will support you to embrace who you are and to probe, in a meaningful way, what this may mean in the context of how you relate to yourself and others.

At some time or another, we all need help in dealing with the difficulties that life can bring. Modern, fast-paced living is often overwhelming and so making choices that are beneficial for us becomes more challenging. We often find ourselves taking decisions that move us away from who we truly are and the life we want to lead. Through therapy we can explore what has brought you to where you are now, what is no longer working for you and how to facilitate a shift towards a preferred present and future.

I believe that the difficulties we carry rarely begin inside us — they are shaped by our experiences, our relationships, and the wider world we inhabit.
Sometimes what we need isn't someone with all the answers — but someone who can walk alongside us, offering both structure and space, while we make sense of what we're carrying. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and empowering — with you as the expert on your own life, and me bringing the clinical expertise and steady presence to help you find your footing.
With over a decade of experience across the NHS, charitable, and third sectors, I bring evidence-informed practice alongside genuine curiosity about each person I meet — drawing on your strengths and self-knowledge, rather than imposing a framework.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
